Included with this LED light cart is 100 ft. of SOOW cord, which the company says provides ample length for cart placement and optimal coverage of the work space. Vehicle Health Station Noregon Systems has launched a new Truck Check Up (TCU) vehicle health station. TCU is an interactive vehicle health station located at diesel fuel islands. It is designed for use in heavy- duty trucks (Class 7-8). While fueling, drivers simply connect a cable to their truck's diagnostic port to start the scanning process and follow on-screen prompts, the company says. In just under one minute, Noregon says TCU scans an entire tractor/trailer for diagnostic fault code in- formation and provides drivers with a comprehensive vehicle health report.
