Gone are the days of old where doing a tire check on a large fleet required a clipboard, a pencil, and a half-day at a desktop computer to digitize the data. Now we can check your tires and deliver the information paperless before leaving the yard. Using a sophisticated, purpose-built, Bluetooth-enabled device, your McCoy Sales Rep can help your teammates collect the tread depth and air pressure on all 10 wheel-positions of a three-axle tractor in less than three minutes. Trailers running AirBat Air pressure maintenance systems can be checked even faster, as the device quickly sends the tread depth readings to the hand-held computer. For example, at a local fleet this morning technicians were able to check 26 units in one half hour.
- the unit # is entered into the handheld computer
- an automatic reader sends the tread depth reading to the handheld
- the device reads air pressure too
- summaries inform of current and future tire needs
- this truck needs a flat repair
- this truck could use a 9/32 runout
- this truck’s due for air pressure maintenance
- this trailer could use a wheel switch
- this trailer needs a new or retreaded tire
