The Truck & Bus Product Focus Has Arrived! A little Late But Better Than Never….. ?

This Week Is – Commercial Vehicle / Trailer Load Handling The Pallet Truck Locking system “Lee Lock”, addresses a fairly widespread health and safety issue. The Lee Lock pallet truck restraint is designed to lock the pallet truck in place at all times, hence reducing any chance of the truck slamming into other pallets, slashing the curtain side and as the pallet truck slots into the lock there’s no chance of any back injury from lifting.

2020 is the Year Of The Back Stop!

BackStop Trailer & Truck Automatic Braking Reversing System is a modern hi tech reversing aide for commercial rigid trucks and trailers.

The BackStop system is an attractive product for transport managers to improve health & safety standards.

Reversing is often the cause of vehicle damage or human injury. Fines have been issued to transport operators for employee injury and high costs in repairs for simple low speed reversing incidents. One incident in 2011 when an employee received crush injuries cost the UK transport operator a total of £15,000 in fines and costs.

BackStop automatically applies the brakes when an object such as a concrete pillar or a person becomes an obstruction, or is in close proximity to the rear of the vehicle. activating only when the vehicle is in reverse and continuously monitoring at a distance up to 3m behind the vehicle, BackStop (Truck Braking While Reversing Product) will automatically apply the brakes if any of the sensors detect an obstacle, leaving sufficient time for a person to move or the vehicle realigned.

So contact us to discuss if Back Stop can reduce reversing damage for your fleet in 2020! – 0115 8456471 or info@aideautomotive.com

HGV Fuel Tank Protection Products Fitted to the Truck Tank

Fuel theft from commercial vehicles is a common problem over the festive period, because vehicles are left idle while firms close down for the Christmas Break. This makes them a lucrative target for thieves looking to syphon fuel from the vehicles.

Here at aide automotive we’ve found that for this reason sales of our fuel theft devices have increased in the run up to Christmas, quoted Matt Burke Sales Director,

“We always see an increase in sales of our fuel theft devices in the weeks before Christmas. Most companies want to protect their vehicles from thieves looking to syphon off fuel whilst a business is closed down and nobody is on the premises. We have a range of anti-siphon devices that have the perfect solution for this problem. Investing in one of these devices allows business owners the chance to relax and enjoy the Christmas break, safe in the knowledge that their vehicles are protected from fuel theft.”

An Truck Fuel Theft Prevention device is extremely cost effective, for a small investment it could save a company thousands in terms of stolen fuel and vehicle downtime.

Anti Fuel Theft Devices are relatively cheap to purchase and capable of withstanding regular and prolonged use.
