Previously, Honda's distribution centre used a calibrated handheld gauge, meaning pressure reports had to be handwritten - which was time-consuming and couldn’t guarantee accuracy.

So the operation had six of PCL's ACCURA D10 digital units installed, and these are now providing a high performance tyre inflation service during pre-delivery inspection tests, and servicing.

Each unit is also linked to a printer which produces a "receipt" detailing the pressure of each vehicle's tyres, confirming their accuracy to the customer.

The innovative "menu-driven" D10 unit encloses digital technology in a modern, die cast aluminium housing, offering repeatable accuracy. It provides reduced maintenance and lifecycle costs, increased fuel economy and increased safety. The attraction of the product is also its simplicity of use with the easy setting, auto start, and default to safe setting, which all make it very straightforward to maximise the benefits of the unit.

Therefore

Sheffield-based tyre inflation expert PCL has provided Glasgow City Council with a safer solution for tyre maintenance on its Environmental Protection Services vehicles.

This followed reports being circulated in the industry about a fatal accident where a private sector employee was killed when a tyre blew out during inflation.

This prompted the council to look at enhancing safety procedures when its staff were taking tyre pressures as part of their vehicle checks.

PCL's Brian Beech, in Technical Sales, was asked to recommend the best product to service the Council's varied fleet of vehicles, including vans and lorries, at four city depots.

Brian recommended PCL's ACCURA 10 wall-mounted gauge which is self-calibrating, fail-safe, and easy to use. He said: "Tyre inflation with the ACCURA 10 provides superior vehicle performance through greater safety, increased fuel economy and longer tyre life. Glasgow City Council employees were given training to enable

PCL's digital inflation kit hits the road with Hi-Q's Tyre Fitting fleet

International tyre inflation specialist, PCL, has teamed up with national car care specialist Hi-Q to provide a fast and accurate unit for its mobile tyre fitting vans. PCL's fixed digital tyre inflator unit has so far been installed in 50 of Hi-Q's nationwide fleet of over 300 - and has already earned an enviable track record amongst its operators as a reliable, time-saving device.

Launched in 2002, PCL's fixed digital unit is ideal for depots, tyre shops, fleets, car dealers, and racing outfits, where fast and accurate inflation is vital.

The unit inflates tyres safely and precisely to within half a pound accuracy and can also be used in test mode to check existing pressure. Simple to use, the secure unit is linked to a compressor driven by the van motor and all the engineer has to do is switch on the compressor/inflator,
