TCI Co., Ltd. will release "TRAIL CAMERA", a wirelessly connected camera and monitor set that is ideal for checking the rear of marine containers and 3-axis chassis on March 1, 2022.
Introducing the back camera that can be attached to the trailer.
・ If you ask a specialist, it will cost you wages and time.・ Is it possible to attach a back camera to the trailer in the first place? ??・ We only own a tractor head.
It's okay. Answer the above questions.
What is a trailer?
A trailer is a freight part with a towed car without an engine part. However, what is generally called a trailer is not the car part of the towed carrier, but is often referred to as a general term for vehicles in which a tractor and a trailer are connected. Next, let's take a look at the structure of a typical trailer.
Trailer structure
In the case of a general trailer that transports marine containers, the driver's seat allows self-propelled, and the towing side is the "tractor head ((1) in the figure below)", which cannot self-propelled, but is connected to the tractor head. The "chassis" ((2) in the figure below), which is the loading platform that supports the container, and the "marine container," which is the container for storing cargo for marine transportation, are installed on the chassis and can be separated from each other.
Trailer safety measures
When the trailer is connected, it is said that the total length is long and it is very difficult to drive, so it is necessary to pay more attention to safety measures. When loading containers, it is difficult to check backwards and sideways, so it can be said that the introduction of a back camera is essential. However, the introduction of back cameras has not progressed in such trailers. Why?
Barriers to introducing back cameras due to the nature of the trailer
As mentioned above, since the trailer is supposed to be connected and disconnected, it is not possible to install a monitor in the driver's seat, attach a camera at the end, and connect by wire. Even if it is connected by wire, it will be disconnected every time the chassis is disconnected. Then, isn't there any problem with a wireless camera? I think so. If it is a wireless camera, there is no cord to connect the monitor to the camera, so it seems to be compatible with the trailer. However, wireless cameras also have blind spots.
Many of the wireless cameras on the market claim to be wireless, but they require power supply work for the camera, and in the end, wiring work is required. In other words, wiring is eventually required to start the camera (get power). In that case, wiring work becomes indispensable every time the cabin is disconnected. If it's a one-time delivery, you can't do it every time. In addition, some transportation companies own only the tractor head in (1) above and use chassis from other companies. In that case, it would be unrealistic to do wiring work on the belongings of other companies.
TCI's TRAIL CAMERA
The above barriers were large and the hurdles for installing a back camera on the trailer remained high.
I would like to introduce you there.
This is TCI's TRAIL CAMERA.
TCI's TRAIL CAMERA is wireless and does not require camera power supply work. This is because the camera is attached with a "magnet".
TRAIL CAMERA uses two magnets called neodymium magnets, which are particularly cooperative among many magnets. Even if an adult man pulls it with considerable force, it will not come off.
And it has passed the vibration resistance test 20,000 times without difficulty, so there is no worry of falling off due to vibration.
(Reference: [Latest version] Forklift accident cases and safety management)
Therefore, it is perfectly compatible with trailers.
As mentioned above, since it is installed with a magnet, there is no need to call a contractor for installation work, and there is no associated wage. The fact that no construction work is required means that even those who own only the tractor head and are using the containers and chassis of other companies can install the back camera without any problems.
As a reference, the general wired back camera installation wages are listed.
・ 2t truck around 30,000 yen + business trip expenses ・ 4t truck around 45,000 yen + business trip expenses ・ Heavy equipment and special vehicles around 50,000 yen + business trip expenses
Since this is the amount for one installation, wages will be incurred when removing it.
On the other hand, TRAIL CAMERA costs 0 yen both when installing and removing.
It is a camera that eliminates the trouble of calling a contractor, the cost of installation, and the work time.
In addition, we have obtained the technical suitability mark and have been approved for use by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, so you can use it with confidence without violating the Radio Law.
In addition, the maximum transmission distance between the camera and monitor is guaranteed to be 70 meters, so you can use it with confidence without worrying about vehicle standards.
summary
This time, we introduced TCI's TRAIL CAMERA, which goes well with trailers.
Due to the nature of trailers, it was difficult to introduce a back camera, and it was even more difficult for those using chassis and containers from other companies. We are manufacturing TRAIL CAMERA this time with the hope that we can reach such an itchy place.

Even if you are careful about safety, you cannot be too careful. I think it's an accident that happens even if you don't intend to.
We hope that TRAIL CAMERA will be of some help to the safety management of such trailer drivers.
