Mobile Tyre Fitting Van Conversion


What goes into making a mobile tire-fitting van?

Starting in the van, we have installed a couple of great essential features including the intelligent unlock system. This enables the commercial van to continue running with the key removed and cab locked, allowing the fitter to utilize the machines in the rear. 


This is a great safety feature as it eliminates the risk of anything being stolen from inside, or the van itself being pinched.


A voltage meter has also been added inside and strobe lights have been attached to the front grill. This provides great visibility of the van in low light conditions should the mobile fitter need to work in a potentially hazardous area. 


Spotlights have also been fitted to the side and rear doors for complete illumination of customers' vehicles in low light and LED strips running the length of the interior ensure a well-lit work environment.


Hidden underneath the passenger seat lies the wiring, split charger and independent battery, making fantastic use of a tight and compact space that would otherwise be left empty. 


The time has also been taken to tidy up any of the originally loose cabling visible on the van.


The rear of the van has been fitted with a 3000w Inverter and Honda GX160 motor running a SIP compressor. Tyre Bay Direct has supplied a feature-rich Atlas TC220 tire changer with jaws to cover rim sizes as big as 24”. The tire fitting van also includes a Manual Data Entry
WB10 wheel balancer.


The additional 3 pin sockets are perfect for use with any additional hand tools needed and a trolly jack has also been provided. Even with all this machinery, there is still plenty of space to maneuver even the largest tires around the van, and plenty of space for storage at the back.

Hire a refrigerated van fleet to access great service at minimal cost

Image
Vehicle acquisition makes up a huge part of business fleet costs, particularly when that fleet operates within a cold chain. In this blog, we examine why   refrigerated truck rental   holds the key to acquiring high-quality service at a low cost. Why choose refrigerated vans? First thing’s first - which vehicle model is best for your business needs? Needless to say, there is a healthy demand for refrigerated HGVS. However, for many small businesses operating a cold chain, refrigerated vans can pose the best solution. Refrigerated transport is often used for relatively small loads - such as online food shopping, events catering, or fresh produce deliveries to small stores. In each of these situations, a refrigerated van may be the most suitably sized vehicle. On top of this, congestion on the roads is getting worse. Research by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) found that vehicle traffic has increased by 5% since 2000, while the length of the road network rose by jus

Anheuser-Busch to add 21 BYD electric delivery trucks to California fleets

It seems Anheuser-Busch is set on trying every type of alternative-fuel-powered delivery truck available. In 2017, A-B announced it had ordered 40 electric Tesla semi-trucks. In 2018, A-B said it ordered as many as 800 hydrogen Nikola Motor Company semis. And in 2019, A-B says it is adding 21 battery-electric semis to its distribution fleet, this time from Chinese manufacturer Build Your Dreams (BYD). The introduction of the electric trucks is part of a collaboration between A-B, BYD, the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE), and ENGIE Services U.S. It's called the Zero-Emission Beverage Handling and Distribution at Scale project, and it aims to "demonstrate how to reach zero-emissions across the range of activities at AB distribution facilities with minimal modifications to fleet logistics." A-B claims this will be the largest Class 8 electric truck deployment in North America. The trucks and their charging gear will be used at four
