Keystone Expands Towing Category with REDARC Electronics

Keystone Automotive Operations has welcomed REDARC Electronics to its towing category. REDARC is an advanced electronics manufacturer with more than 35 years of experience. Based in Australia, the company has entered the North American market with a new warehouse in Smithfield, North Carolina.

“The global interest in REDARC’s portfolio is growing rapidly,” REDARC stated in a news release. “We are proud to be partnering with Keystone and the opportunity this provides us to offer our world class products to retailers and installers throughout North America.”

Such expansion is a testament to the company’s beginnings in vehicle ignition systems and voltage converters, which paved the way for REDARC to become the internationally award-winning power conversion specialist it is today, according to the company.

Included in the range of portable electronic solutions is REDARC’s range of in-vehicle battery chargers which maintain a 100-percent state of charge for auxiliary batteries through a variety of convenient mounting solutions. The company’s newest offering, Manager30, is a management system that provides battery charging via multiple power sources simultaneously, including AC, DC, and solar inputs.

“The Manager30 sets the benchmark for off-grid traveling, providing peace of mind when using the comforts of home while travelling around North America,” added the company.

Additionally, REDARC offers charge equalizers that evenly split battery power by allowing 12 volts to be tapped from the center of a dual battery, 24-volt DC electrical system. The company’s line of DC power supplies provide stable output for any auxiliary load by regulating power from a wide input voltage range and protecting electronics from power surges or spikes, according to the company. And a variety of smart battery isolators and voltage gauges allow safe and convenient access to power-saving technology.

REDARC also offers its Tow Pro line of trailer brake controllers. Customers can choose between Tow-Pro Classic or Tow-Pro Elite. Both products feature a compact design that allows them to fit seamlessly into any dash, removing the hassle of mounting within a driver’s leg space where interference can occur with factory-mounted lower airbags. Both are simple to install and work with electric/hydraulic trailer brakes, according to REDARC.

“We’re excited to now offer REDARC brake controllers and battery products through Keystone Automotive. REDARC brake controllers combine smooth braking in a small footprint. It’s at your fingertips when you need it, out of the way when you don’t, and looks and feels great,” said Mark Willes, category manager of towing at Keystone Automotive Operations. “In addition, REDARC’s battery solutions are a smart way to make sure you always have power-”no matter how long or short you’re off the grid, if you’re charging your RV’s battery bank, the battery on your dump trailer, or adding an accessory battery to your pickup.”
