The PES system consists of a sensor that detects the position of the dump box. If the box is in the lowered position, the endgate cannot open. The box must raise approximately 1" (25mm) for the system to sense that it is safe to open the endgate. This ensures that the endgate cannot be accidentally tripped while the truck is in motion. The system replaces of the original endgate trip switch and is easily operated with a toggle switch in the cab of the truck.
The system is complete with a manual override setting for control of the endgate lock from the cab control switch in the event the load requires spreading.
