Securing the Last Mile: Introducing the R4-50 Heavy-Duty Electronic Latch with Sensor

Written by: Southco | Published: 08/24

Last mile delivery is among one of the most demanding environments for a vehicle. The ecommerce boom means that these vehicles are in constant use, and the public is more aware of them than ever. Latches on these vehicles need to be strong, reliable, and durable to keep up.

The R4-50 Heavy-Duty Electronic Rotary Latch with Sensor provides a complete answer to these demands. Designed for high security, durability, and exceptional cycle life, it can keep up with even the most rigorous environments. FMVSS 206 capability makes it a great fit for entry door applications, so no matter what you’re delivering, the R4-50 Heavy-Duty Electronic Rotary Latch gives you peace of mind and convenience all in one package.

RELIABLE STRENGTH

With a cycle life five times longer than other electronic rotary latches, the R4-50 Heavy-Duty Electronic Rotary Latch will be a reliable solution for years after installation, even in the most demanding environments. As an FMVSS 206 capable device, it is built to meet the highest strength door retention standards.

QUICK ELECTRONIC ACCESS

The R4-50 Heavy-Duty Electronic Rotary Latch actuates in under a second. In fact, it probably took you longer to read this sentence. Low actuation speed means quick release, and this latch puts it at your fingertips with electronic access. When integrated into your system, the R4-50 Heavy-Duty Rotary Latch can be actuated remotely at the touch of a button.

SECURITY MONITORING

You may think that with remote access comes security questions, but don’t worry. We covered that too. The integrated microswitch senses the latch striker and gives you constant feedback on whether it is in place. This means you’ll never get a false secure signal if a door is closed, but not latched. The sensor also provides constant feedback, so you can always tell whether the latch is open or secure.

PROTECTED AND SEALED

The entire electronic actuation system is sealed to protect against the environment and improve performance. The elements won’t stop your delivery, and they won’t stop this latch either.
