A PCL product story

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jul 10, 2006

PCL has reported excellent feedback from Reifen visitors viewing its world-leading portfolio of tyre inflation products.

UK-based PCL welcomed representatives of tyre shops, mobile tyre vans, garages, car dealers, fleet and transport managers from Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Thailand, Germany, Poland, Korea and Iceland.

Substantial orders were placed for the EC-approved Airforce - PCL's brand new generation of mechanical handheld air line gauges.

Simple to use, fast and with guaranteed accuracy, Airforce offers long life, with lower life time costs and excellent shock resistance, all within a modern functional design featuring a clear analogue display.

A shipment of orders for the innovative ACCURA DAC1 is also on its way to customers who were impressed with the lightweight yet robust, electronic handheld unit with a user-friendly, digital display.

The specially designed ACCURA DAC1 breaks the mould for handheld units, merging ease of use and readability with rapid, safe and accurate tyre inflation.

Equipped with leading electronics, sensor technology and patented software, all within a unique and effective design, the ACCURA DAC1 brings a breath of fresh air to the handheld market.

The ACCURA DAC1 provides fast inflation, reduced operating costs and less errors as well as simplicity of use.

This makes it ideal for high volume applications such as tyre shops, garages and depots, where speed, safety and precision are paramount.

The ACCURA DAC1 is from the newly launched electronic brand ACCURA range which incorporates all of the existing electronic units which have come to lead the global digital tyre inflation market.

ACCURA is PCL's premium product range, combining the latest electronic developments with advanced software to make the highest technology features easy to use - all packaged within an attractive but functional design.

Simon Shorter, General Manager of PCL's UK Tyre Gauge Division, said: "We were delighted with the feedback at Reifen and the number of orders taken exceeded our expectations.

We've greatly increased our client base of customers, from fleet and truck managers to representatives of tyre shops and suppliers, looking for exciting new products to fit a range of uses.

"The show also illustrated the mounting interest in PCL's ACCURA range and the success of its new brand launch - and judging by our success at Reifen we are confident this will catapult us to the forefront of the global market for electronic tyre inflation." Simon concluded: "Visitors were quick to appreciate PCL's expertise in providing cost-effective, high quality products which combine simplicity, speed and accuracy with the most hi-tech, aesthetic designs.

In a nutshell, our products provide substantial labour-savings, greater profits and improved customer satisfaction, whilst enabling end users to provide a better service to the car and truck user." PCL will be exhibiting at Automechanika, Frankfurt, 12th-17th September.
