PA-ED1 Electric Dump Bed Assist Kit
The actuator features an 11.34-inch stroke, IP65 environmental protection, and an operating temperature range of -25°C to 65°C. Its construction includes a SUS304 stainless steel stroke rod and aluminum alloy housing for use in outdoor working environments. The actuator operates at approximately 65 dB and has a 10% duty cycle, equivalent to 2 minutes of operation followed by 18 minutes off.
For electrical integration, the PA-ED1 uses an Aptiv Weather Pack 2-pin connector and includes a wiring harness with pre-wired controls. The kit is designed to simplify the conversion to electric dump-bed operation without requiring a separate hydraulic actuation system.
The PA-ED1 is particularly relevant for ATVs and UTVs used in agriculture, landscaping, material transport, and utility work. It can integrate with compatible cargo beds and trailers and is best suited to select Can-Am Defender configurations; the product datasheet should be consulted to confirm vehicle compatibility.
Its combination of high-force electric actuation, 12 VDC operation, weather-resistant construction, and integrated controls makes the PA-ED1 a practical solution for dump-bed automation and vehicle electrification in off-highway and mobile equipment applications.
