Safetran, an 1763 Econolite Group company, has been awarded a two-year traffic cabinet purchase order contract from the 923 California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and will begin shipping cabinets this month. This contract marks the second time in a row Safetran has successfully competed and passed Caltrans’ stringent quality assurance criteria to be selected as the traffic cabinet supplier to the transportation agency.

Safetran will supply its eco-friendly Caltrans TEES compliant 332L and 334L recyclable aluminum traffic cabinets. They feature a Model 206L (switching type) power supply – high efficiency and power factor corrected. It saves approximately 263 KWH per cabinet per year at 50 per cent load over the previous generation ferroresonant-type power supply. In addition, the cabinets feature solid state relays which eliminates all use of mercury for switches.

“This Caltrans order contract underscores our commitment to green initiatives and our continuous quality improvements, including our Caltrans dedicated customer support,” said Safetran director of sales Greg Groves.

Safetran received the cabinet order under the new contract in April after emerging successfully from Caltrans’ factory inspection programme. “The process is very competitive and comprehensive,” Groves commented. “This ensures that the contract is awarded to the supplier with the highest quality at all levels of operation, including offering the best available environmentally conscious products.”
