The DC-60C-W C-Channel Mounted Semi-Truck Loading and Unloading Counter was custom built for Lowe’s RDC 1432, a flatbed distribution center that requires a reliable and highly visible way to track the number of trucks actively loading and unloading products throughout the shipping yard. This solution provides a simple yet effective method for maintaining accurate truck counts in real time, helping yard operations stay organized, efficient, and accountable throughout the workday.

Designed for outdoor use, the DC-60C-W is mounted on a sturdy exterior wall and operated using a wireless handheld remote controller. This allows personnel to update the count without needing direct contact with the display, making it ideal for busy yards where trucks are constantly arriving and departing. Since the counter is exposed to environmental conditions, the enclosure is built to withstand harsh outdoor elements while maintaining long-term performance and visibility.

The enclosure features an IP-66 waterproof rating, ensuring protection against dust, rain, and washdowns. It is constructed from extruded aluminum with a black powder-coated finish, providing durability, corrosion resistance, and a fingerprint-resistant surface. This rugged design makes the DC-60C-W well suited for demanding industrial and logistics environments like flatbed distribution yards.

The wireless remote controller gives operators full control over the count from a distance. With dedicated buttons for incrementing, decrementing, resetting, and setting values, tracking truck activity becomes quick and intuitive. Each function is designed to support real-world yard operations where speed and accuracy matter.

Key counter functions include:

• Increment button to increase the count by one with each press
• Decrement button to subtract from the count as trucks exit or are reclassified
• Reset button to instantly return the display to zero
• Set function that automatically increments the count at a gradual rate, allowing the user to reach a desired value efficiently

The set function enables the display to count upward smoothly, increasing by single increments at first and accelerating as it continues. The counter can display values up to 9,999, making it suitable for high-volume operations. Pressing the set button again stops the count at the desired number.

From a hardware standpoint, the DC-60C-W is built for maximum visibility and reliability. The large, bright display ensures the count can be read clearly from long distances across the yard, reducing miscommunication and improving operational awareness.

Hardware and performance highlights include:

• IP-66 rated outdoor, waterproof enclosure
• Extruded black powder-coated aluminum construction
• Fingerprint-resistant finish
• Four-digit display with a maximum count of 9,999
• Six-inch display viewable from up to 300 feet away
• Overall dimensions of 16 inches wide, 7 inches tall, and 3 inches deep

Power is supplied through a 100–240V, 2-amp grounded connection using a junction box and a nine-foot, three-prong power cable. For installation flexibility, the unit features C-channel mounting on the rear of the enclosure, allowing it to be securely mounted to virtually any sturdy wall or surface. This mounting method is a key distinction from standard models and provides added stability in outdoor environments.

Included with the DC-60C-W are two wireless handheld remote controllers, ensuring uninterrupted operation if a spare is needed. The remotes offer an impressive operating range of up to 1,500 feet outdoors and approximately 300 feet indoors, giving operators the freedom to update counts from anywhere in the yard.

Overall, the DC-60C-W C-Channel Mounted Semi-Truck Loading and Unloading Counter delivers a durable, user-friendly, and highly visible solution for tracking truck activity at Lowe’s RDC 1432. It helps streamline yard management, improve operational accuracy, and maintain a clear, real-time snapshot of loading and unloading activity throughout the facility.
