Mobile Tyre Fitting Van Conversion

Image
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,...

If you have a series of pallets or another heavy set of objects, you will want to choose a Sprinter van. That will help you get the job done as efficiently as possible. Another benefit of ...

Refrigerated Carriers Finding Value With Electric-Powered Reefer Units

Image
The use of electric power to refrigerate trailers is expected to surge in the coming years, according to some manufacturers and fleet operators. Government regulations to reduce fossil fuel emissions are a major force driving fleet adoption of electric trailer refrigeration units, also known as citrus, combined with the trucking industry’s drive to lower operating costs and reduce equipment maintenance demands. “There is a strong movement, in general, away from fossil fuel in the transportation and logistics industry to all-electric or hybrid-electric systems,” said Ian Fox, product manager for refrigerated vans at trailer manufacturer Wabash National Corp. “Electric-powered refrigeration systems are a part of that movement. Running a reefer unit on electricity is significantly cheaper than running on diesel fuel.” KeHE Distributors started an effort to electrify “as many distribution centers as possible about two years ago,” said Tom Harden, senior manager of fleet assets for the org...
