Clear Vision Enclosures

Bobtail trucks play a key role in delivering propane to customers nationwide. Bobtail trucks are particularly important in the final mile of fuel delivery, as they are smaller than other tanker trucks and more versatile for community deliveries.

Typical bobtail trucks have a large, open deck on the back with connectors and hoses for dispensing fuel. These open decks can cause problems for drivers, as their components can be easily damaged by the elements or create blind spots on the road.

To create a better bobtail experience for drivers, IPS has designed the Clear Vision Enclosure (CVE) bobtail deck. This fully enclosed deck helps protect equipment from the elements and is more compact to enhance visibility. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of investing in a Clear Vision Enclosure.

Enhanced Visibility

One of the biggest benefits of choosing our enclosed bobtail deck is that it has a compact design. This makes it easy to quickly access, maintain, or inspect equipment by simply opening the roll-up door. The compact design of the CVE also enhances driver safety by eliminating the blind spots other bobtail decks create. Our enclosure is only 43 ½” wide—not much wider than the chassis frame—compared to 96″ on traditional decks.

Comprehensive Protection

Compared to other bobtail decks, our Clear Vision Enclosure provides more comprehensive equipment protection from the elements, such as rain, snow, wind, sunlight, and extreme temperatures. It is also constructed from durable materials to withstand the rigors of daily use and transportation. These materials protect internal components from rust, corrosion, moisture, and road debris that could otherwise affect your equipment’s performance.

Streamlined Operations

If ease of use is a priority for you and your drivers, the CVE offers the following benefits:

• A user-friendly design. With its lightweight, roll-up shutter door, your equipment will be easier to access in the CVE than in other bobtail enclosures that have heavy overhead or side-by-side doors. The compact design also features less piping than traditional decks, making it easy to access any equipment you may need. Pull-away protection can be incorporated as an option, and the fill hose connection is ergonomically correct.
• Simplified troubleshooting. With its user-friendly design, our Clear Vision Enclosure also makes it easier to troubleshoot various issues. Piping can be accessed in less than 10 minutes, and any problems can be identified and addressed quickly.
• Minimal downtime. By making it easy to access and troubleshoot your equipment, the CVE can also minimize downtime.
• Supports preventive maintenance. By facilitating regular inspections, our enclosure can help you spot issues early on, preventing potentially costly repairs or replacements.
• Reducing operational costs. By streamlining operations and reducing downtime, our enclosure can also help boost productivity and reduce costs, improving the overall efficiency of your operations.
• Improving customer satisfaction. With efficient operations, reliable equipment, and less downtime keeping your drivers off the road, our Clear Vision Enclosure contributes to increased customer satisfaction.
