VehicleServicePros.com ❚ APRIL 2016 ❚ FLEET MAINTENANCE 37 STEERABLE AND NONSTEERABLE OPTIONS The Reyco Granning LiftMaster, No. ALAP-13, is an auxiliary lift axle available in both steerable and non-steerable options. Designed for Class 7 and 8 trucks, the axle is rated at a 13,200-lb capacity. Also standard is an automatic lift function in reverse, which eliminates the possibility of the driver forgetting to manually lift the axle. The LiftMaster eliminates cavitation through the use of a Bilstein gas-charged, monotube steer damper, and its nitrogen-charged stabilizer shock eliminates the need for coil springs while the large diameter piston increases damping force without increased heat generation. VehicleServicePros.com/12182597 ONE GREASE FOR MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS The Mystik JT-6 Super Heavy Duty 460 Grease is specially formulated to offer one solution for multiple applications, including fifth wheels, kingpins, throw-out bearings and more. Its synthetic blend formula is engineered to deliver extended service intervals and provide pumpability over a wide temperature range. Because it protects in the harshest conditions, including shock loading, this grease is ideal for heavy duty equipment and industrial bearings. VehicleServicePros.com/12183981 OPTIONAL GARMIN GPS GROUNDSPEED CONTROL The Buyers Products Central Hydraulic System is constructed with a 304 stainless steel reservoir and a pre-plumbed enclosure. The system provides operators with control over multiple functions. The system is designed to work with light to heavy duty vehicle applications and is available with optional Garmin GPS ground-speed control, which saves material and ensures a consistent spread rate. In the cab, a threefunction spreader controller and dump/hoist plow controller provide easy operation and quick adjustment for changing conditions. It is designed with indexed adjustment dials and bright LED displays. VehicleServicePros.com/12181495 FOR CARGO VANS AND BOX TRUCKS The Link Manufacturing Swivel Ramp, designed for cargo van and box truck applications, swings 180 degrees and offers two storage locations. Providing up to 1,500 lbs of loading capacity, the Swivel Ramp is available for bi-fold ramps in 30”, 36” and 47” widths as well as 90”, 99” and 108” lengths. The ramp mounts in the rear stored position like a traditional folding ramp, but also can be stored inside, behind the wheel well. When not in use for loading or unloading, it rotates outside of the vehicle for unobstructed access. The primary latching module can be removed to provide open floor space for loading and transporting over-sized cargo. Additionally, the quick-release lever enables the ramp to be unlatched when stored in the wheel well position. VehicleServicePros.com/12179518 FOR REGIONAL AND URBAN DELIVERY FLEETS The Goodyear Endurance RSA tire offers long miles to removal, improved traction and fuel efficiency for regional and urban delivery fleets. Available in 11 sizes, it has a lower rolling resistance and is more resistance to curb impact damage than the company’s previous model. The tire offers Goodyear’s IntelliMax Rib Technology, with contoured sipes for ideal tread stiffness. This helps provide regular wear and high mileage potential, plus optimal snow and ice grip. The tread design has a computer-optimized footprint and 22/32” tread depth. The steel casing has super-tensile steel belts for durability, and the dual-layer tread compound improves fuel economy.
