Comfort Meets Efficiency

How Edscha TS Protects Drivers and Moves Freight Forward with Smart Drive Technology

Time is money – but health is also capital. The new E-Drive from Edscha Trailer Systems demonstrates how modern technology can deliver both: economic success and improved working conditions in the transportation industry.

Technology That Thinks Ahead

Edscha TS’s proven toothed rail drive technology stands for maximum precision and performance. Two motors and control rails ensure a smooth, synchronized movement – even under harsh conditions. This means the sliding tarp roof of a truck can be reliably operated, whether it’s raining or windy. Its especially robust design makes it suitable for use on the road, on railways, in industrial settings, or for event constructions.

E-Drive

A Pioneer with a System

Since the 1980s, Edscha TS has been shaping the electric roof drive market. Today, the company continues this legacy with the latest E-Drive system for CurtainSider, Full Tarpaulin, and OpenBox roof systems – a true milestone in efficiency, comfort, and seamless integration.

Installation Made Simple

The E-Drive unit is designed to be integrated into the vehicle’s existing electrical system without major modifications. No extra wiring to the battery, no separate fuse – instead, it runs via the existing auxiliary consumer connection. A smart solution to modern challenges, and a clear advantage when retrofitting as well.

Comfort for the Pros

A compact control unit on the vehicle – and optionally inside the cab or via external remote – allows for precise and safe operation of the E-Drive. This significantly reduces physical strain on the driver – no more pulling or pushing the tarp manually along the vehicle. Especially in safety-critical situations – such as dangerous loading zones or tight docks – the roof can be operated from a safe position.

Ergonomics That Make a Difference

Life behind the wheel is physically demanding. Edscha TS addresses this with thoughtful automation. Less manual labor means less stress on the back and joints – resulting in better health and higher job satisfaction. This is also a strong point for freight companies: modern employers stand out by offering ergonomic equipment.

Built for Every Application

Whether it's general cargo or bulk goods, by road or rail – the E-Drive performs reliably in all scenarios. Even for events with mobile stages or industrial use cases, the system shows its strengths. Its durable drive technology withstands even heavy, long-term use.

For Forward-Thinking Freight Companies

The smoother a roof opens and closes, the faster the entire logistics process runs. That means less downtime, lower costs, and improved competitiveness. Outfitting a fleet with E-Drive is an investment in speed, precision, and future-readiness.

Strong User Interest

Numerous positive discussions at trade show presentations have shown that body builders and end users are very interested in the system.

Comfort Builds Loyalty

An ergonomic workspace in a truck is no longer a luxury – it's a necessity. With systems like the E-Drive, freight companies show that they value their drivers. That not only boosts the company’s image but also strengthens employee loyalty in a highly competitive market
