April 6th, 2009 No comments

aide automotive is proud to become the UK distributor for a Tyre Pressure Monitoring product called, PressurePro™.

 

PressurePro™ is a system that monitors tyre pressure, which alerts the driver through an in cab LCD screen when pressure falls below the recommended PSI. Pressure Pro enables the driver to take corrective action before a dangerous low tyre pressure situation occurs.

 

Simple to install and easy to operate PressurePro™ is a proactive solution that  takes the ownership away from people checking their tyres on a regular basis. This device gives both a visual and audible alert!

 

Phillip G. Zaroor  President, CEO and Founder of Advantage PressurePro states “PressurePro™ has been a huge success in the US and we’re now looking forward to working with aide automotive as the UK Distributor”

One of the main causes of vehicle breakdowns is dangerous tyres. Both incorrect tyre pressure and tyre tread will cause your vehicle to be unsafe on the road. Not only is it unsafe but the average driver loses £150/yr from driving on under-inflated tyres.

Problems Caused – Under inflation can lead to your tyres overheating. Over inflated tyres will lead to rapid wear of your tyres. If you are caught with illegal tyre tread you will incure a hefty fine of up to £2,500 per tyre.

 What to do?

 Always keep a spare wheel and jack in your boot, and know how to change a tyre.

Check pressure level of your tyres. To find out what level your tyres should be at take a look at your vehicle handbook or speak to your main dealer.

AirAlert is a fantastic gadget that will alert the driver to a loss of pressure, low cost and with an expected life of up to 4 years this device has a payback opportunity.

R Swain Fits Fuel Theft Devices

April 1st, 2009 No comments

Determined to prevent fuel theft becoming a problem for its 250-strong vehicle fleet, R Swain & Sons Ltd recently became the latest large transport company to begin fitting TP Anti Syph units to its vehicles.

Although the company says fuel theft was only an occasional problem that occurred from time to time whilst vehicles were parked-up in lay-bys and truck parks, it was nevertheless keen to stamp it out altogether. The only problem to date with this plan was that it had been unable to find a device that worked effectively and that didn’t interfere with daily operations in the process.

Commenting on the decision, Barry Miller, the company’s Workshop Manager, said: “We were starting to use a competitor product when the TP Anti Syph had claimed to have the solution we were looking for, so we decided to give them a try.

“I was immediately impressed at how easy the TP Anti Syph units were to fit and delighted the units could be quickly transferred from fuel tank to fuel tank without damaging the tank neck. But most of all, I liked the fact that they stopped fuel theft immediately and didn’t in any way interfere with fuel filling operations. We have a fast filling pump here and the units cope well with its speed. There is never any splashback, nor any spillage.
