Meet Sid

FUEL CHAMPION
Sid was never a fan of these newfangled devices, but even he could work out what this message from his boss meant:

“U came out top again M8!. Best performing depot. N1!”

That meant Transport manager of the month once again! Under budget & best fuel consumption by a mile.

We asked Sid what his secret is:
“Steertrak. We put in a maintenance program to keep all the wheels aligned straight”

And what difference did it make?
“Apart from my pay rise, my MPG
improved immediately”

Many fleets are still missing this fuel saving opportunity because they still think of wheel alignment as just “Tracking”. Steertrak take a whole vehicle approach assessing all aspects of steering and axles, operational use and maintenance. It’s a case of straight wheels, straight driving and savings straight in your back pocket.

“Have you ever tried pushing a shopping trolley when the wheels aren’t straight? It’s just hard work. It’s no different on a truck either……..wonky wheels means wasted fuel!”

Fleet Engineer – Kidds Transport

” For a number of years now Steertrak have carried out annual steering and axle alignment checks on all vehicles and trailers within our fleet, we see this as a logical step in effectively managing tyre and fuel costs, and a fleet alignment programme has without question enabled us to achieve this. We have had an excellent relationship with Steertrak and our particular regional engineer since 1996, and have always been extremely pleased with the professional manner in which both the company and the engineers conducts themselves. Therefore we are pleased to be associated with Steertrak and look forward to continuing to strengthen our ties in the years to come, and would certainly have no hesitation in recommending the service to anyone.

Fleet Engineer – Kidds Transport, Lancaster.

HERE’S WHAT

THEY SAY
“The truth is that axle alignment can make such a difference; in one instance the cost of alignment had been returned in under one week! we also realized that it is not just damage that leads to misalignment; it can come from wear and tear of bushes and springs, as well as replacement of chassis and axle components. Also, second steer axles were identified as the main problem.

Steertrak are a great team to work with; they are flexible enough to keep up wit are very changeable fleet, and I always had confidence in the quality of their workmanship”

ON VEHICLE BRAKE DISK SKIMMING

Steertrak launch there new mobile “On-vehicle” disk skimming service. Complimenting their mobile wheel alignment service, they aim to save customers time and money in unnecessary brake disk and pad changes.

Most commercial disks are thrown out half way through their life due to radial cracking. However if the disks are skimmed at each pad change the pad and disk life can be extended by up to 40%. It is also not just the cost of pads and disks but the labour time too, and associated costs of broken studs and damaged calipers. Savings of over £300 per axle have been reported.

Another key benefit is that once a disk is skimmed and fitted with new pads there is no bedding in required. You can go straight to the test station and get 100% brake efficiency.

As a mobile service Steertrak are able to bring the specialised brake lathe to your workshop and skim the disk whilst on the vehicle. The process typically takes about 45 minutes per axle.
