Santa Fe Springs, CA (April 16, 2007) Unified Western Grocers, Inc. has ordered 85 new Utility refrigerated van trailers with the PERMALOGIC™ Dome Lamp Controllers from Phillips Industries. PERMALOGIC™, introduced in 2006, eliminates any chance of accidentally leaving interior trailer dome lamps on by cutting off power to the lamps when the brake pedal is depressed, allowing for full power to the ABS system. Power is also interrupted when there is an under/over battery voltage situation or at a pre-determined elapsed time. Dean Moyer, Fleet Maintenance Supervisor for the Pacific Northwest Division of Unified Western Grocers located in Portland, OR., who will be receiving the new trailers for their operation, sees PERMALOGIC™ “as a really good concept for our fleet because it controls the lights so the driver doesn’t have to worry about them – he can just get in the truck and make deliveries.” The PERMALOGIC™ family of products has been developed by Phillips Industries as a power management solution for fleets who use auxiliary trailer products which can over-work the available trailer electrical capacity.
The PERMALOGIC™ products allow fleets to maximize vehicle power and trailer dome lamp life. Unified Western Grocers, Inc. is a retailer-owned wholesale grocery cooperative that supplies independent retailers throughout the Western United States. Unified and its subsidiaries, which generated approximately $3 billion in sales during the 2000 fiscal year, offer independent retailers all the resources they need to compete in today's supermarket industry.
