When installed, the automatic systems use a DC-to-DC converter to charge the liftgate batteries and monitor the vehicle's available electrical resources without compromising the source batteries' ability to start the engine. The Direct system uses a single source as the liftgate's charging source and allows users to choose from a variety of path options. The advanced Select system can choose from multiple charging sources and chooses the best available source from any of the tractor's confi gurations, including the dual/single combo, reefer and 7-way options.

Oil is vacuumed directly from the oil pan to an enclosed tank to prevent spills while adding speed and convenience during fluid changes. The collected oil can be transferred to a larger used oil disposal tank or repurposed directly from the collection tank. Four models are available, ranging from 30-gallon to 120-gallon tanks. Also available is a dual tank setup designed to handle both new and used fluids. Femco, femcodrainplug.com
