Caravan accessory manufacturer Purple Line has released a new range-topping model of its e-go remote control electric caravan mover.
The chassis-mounted e-go Platinum, which replaces the e-go 130 in the Purple Line range, is designed specifically for big dual-axle vans up to 3.5 tonnes and features upgraded electronics, a wider 200mm tyre roller and a re-engineered engagement mechanism.
“The new 200mm rollers and enhanced wind-on engager, with needle roller bearings in a new alloy housing, maximise the roller grip on the tyre, especially on chunky off-road tyres,” said Purple Line Australia director Malcolm Hill.
“Also, unlike powered jockey wheels, e-go chassis mounted movers drive the wheels that carry most of a van’s weight, with obvious traction benefits on gradients and loose surfaces.
“Capping off the e-go Platinum’s improved design is enhanced electronic circuitry to optimise synchronisation of four-motor installations on dual axle vans.”
Recommended retail price is $1699 for the e-go Platinum (or $1799 with Auto Engage).
Installation typically takes around 10 hours per dual axle set, at one of Purple Line's authorised installers located across Australia.
