Activating RoadBlade tire shredders

Providing Power

With the exception of the Manual system, RoadBlade tire shredders can be powered using either the portable power supply or a direct AC power source.

The portable power supply was developed for portability and to serve as an uninterrupted power source. The portable power supply, when fully charged, will provide hours of power depending upon usage. It can be plugged into an AC outlet and provide power to the RoadBlade tire shredder. While the portable power supply is plugged into an AC outlet, it is maintaining a full charge on the battery. A power regulator is included to prevent the battery from overcharging to assure the battery will have full power when needed.

A direct AC source powers the RoadBlade tire shredder from a 110 or 220 volt outlet. This eliminates the portable power supply and is commonly used during semi-permanent or permanent installations. For 220 volt systems please notify us at the time of placing the order so that we can properly wire the system to accept your power requirements.

Activation

There are several different ways to activate the RoadBlade tire shredder including: the button pendant, the wireless remote, the junction box, which controls multiple systems, and the manual actuator box. With the exception of the manual actuator box, the tire shredder can be activated simply by pressing a button.

Manual Actuator Box
The manual actuator box comes standard in the Manual RoadBlade package. It has absolutely no power requirements, which makes it ideal for quick deployments and remote locations, such as military checkpoints or roadblock security. The Manual RoadBlade is activated by pressing a lever on the handle and pulling back. The blades will pop up into the active position. To deactivate the system, press the lever and pull the handle back to it's original position. The blades will remain down.
