SANTA FE SPRINGS, CA - Maxon Lift Corp., and Purkeys Fleet Electric have formalized their decade-long informal relationship with a strategic partnership agreement. Maxon is the largest single brand manufacturer of liftgates in the world, and Purkeys Fleet Electric is the industry expert when it comes to the electrical needs of national fleets. The ultimate goal of this partnership is to combine industry experience resulting in the best product available today: the correct liftgate for customer applications and the best electrical system to keep the liftgate (along with other truck/trailer attachments) running and on the road.

Battery charging issues have always been a hot topic for fleets. Lately, these issues have escalated due to new idling laws that put additional constraints on recharging times for batteries. Additionally, more and more attachments and tools on trucks and trailers are in need of electric power. This partnership will aid in resolving the issues arising at the point of sales regarding what is needed in terms of the liftgate and total battery charging capacity. This cooperation will result in a greater body of knowledge that will get incorporated into MAXON's future liftgate designs.

Purkeys Fleet Electric owner, Bruce Purkey, has over 32 years of combined experience, Bruce is known as TMC's "Doctor Electricity" and a Silver Spark Plug recipient. Bruce's other achievements include: developing and running the electrical skills station for TMC's Super Tech competition since it started in 2005, serving as a member on the board of ASE for mechanic certification, assisting with writing electrical test material for ASE, and working with fleets on electrical issues and has been developing solutions for the past 3 decades. With the aid of his team, Bruce  has conducted electrical training for both large and small fleets, and he's developed testing tools, procedures, and products to make working on electrical systems an easier and more exact science for fleets, tractors, and trailers.
