Metalworking firm fits Wheely-Safe tyre indicators09 February 2022

Joseph Ash Galvanizing is rolling out Wheely-Safe’s intelligent TPMS (tyre pressure monitoring systems) across its entire commercial vehicle fleet.

The steel business has introduced the technology having been impressed with the improvements it can bring to their operation in terms of safety, reducing downtime and added peace of mind.

In total, Joseph Ash will fit 102 systems on to 35 DAF and Scania trucks as well as 72 trailers it uses to deliver products to UK customers.

Gerry Green, operations director at Joseph Ash Galvanizing, says: “Currently we are utilising the TPMS part of the technology but in the future we are keen to test the wheel security system too. It was really easy to install, and will help us to reduce costly breakdowns, spot tyre damage and defects early and prevent accidents, which can only be a good thing.”

Joseph Ash Galvanizing has specified Wheely-Safe’s external TPMS sensors, which replace the normal valve caps on every tyre, and pair up to solar-powered receivers fitted in the cab. The drivers are also utilising Wheely-Safe’s pressure and brake temperature checkers, as well as WalkAround checkers for their daily inspections.
