Air tools offer reduced vibration and noise
The Prestige range was created in response to the demand for low noise and low-vibration products, which are ergonomically designed to offer comfort to those using the tools on a daily basis.
Sensors monitor tyre pressure
Each vehicle exits Jaguar's Birmingham plant only after all four tyres have been checked for the right pressure.
However, the new "Made in Sheffield" Safeflow also offers the additional benefit of two-stage release, making it safer to disconnect by releasing the air pressure before the adaptor can be removed, thus eliminating hosewhip.
End users were especially impressed with the performance of Safeflow against another coupling which was not able to prevent hosewhip.
Safeflow fits the standard PCL adaptor profile, and is therefore compatible with most existing equipment, and has been manufactured in accordance with safety standards ISO 4414 and DIN EN 983.
Available with various thread forms and integral hose tails, Safeflow features a hard-wearing steel construction with corrosive resistant finish, providing both flexibility and longer life.
In short, Safeflow represents maximum safety for a minimum outlay, and as with all PCL products it offers the highest quality at an affordable price, within an unbeatable, patented design.
PCL's Marketing Manager, Matthew Butters, said: "Safeflow, along with the rest of our product range, was very well received by distributors who are keen to stock high performance yet cost-effective products which are made in the UK and are extremely economical for end users to buy." PCL, known world-wide for its market-leading air distribution products, also showcased its new range of Air Tools and Spray Guns, along with eye-catching packaging and support POS merchandise.
