Shorepower
TSE System
Shorepower is a suite of integrated technologies that make
truck stop electrification (TSE) a convenient service and money saving
proposition for owners and drivers. The Shorepower Truck Electrified
Parking Space (STEPS) system is an attractive value - added service for
travel plaza operators and consists of the following components:
Power Pedestal: The power pedestal (pictured left) is an all
weather stanchion mounted fixture adjacent to each parking space that
delivers 120 - and 208 - volt power, Internet, and cable TV services.
Payment and Control System: The
heart of all STEPS facilities is the automated payment and control
system. This allows Shorepower to complete each transaction
remotely and deliver services to drivers, without requiring any on-site
personnel.

The STEPS system drastically reduces operational costs
providing a cost effective solution to the end user as well as revenues
to the host-site operator. Drivers will have the option of calling
a toll-free number, using a kiosk or paying via their own
laptops. Currently, the most widely available and convenient
option is the toll-free number. Drivers simply call
1-888-841-3137 and specify the desired location and connection
number. Live support personnel then activates the services
remotely.
On Board Cab Kits: Shorepower offers a
range of cab comfort and efficiency packages for the driver. At its
simplest the driver can begin using Shorepower by simply connecting a
heavy-duty extension cord to the Shorepower Pedestal after placing an
authorization call.
More complex installation kits include a cab mounted load center and
wiring harness to power a full range of cab amenities including
heating, AC, cooking and entertainment devices, as well as block
heater. Several manufacturers, including Volvo offer on board
Shorepower compatible electrification modules. Shorepower has also
licensed a series of electrification kits for the aftermarket. Follow
