TireStamp Inc announced that its staff of tire and wheel maintenance experts will provide consulting services to fleet clients that want to improve their tire and wheel maintenance and reduce their costs.
The company unveiled three new services it will provide:
•Tire maintenance facility evaluation—TireStamp experts will evaluate a fleets’ or a fleet’s outside service provider’s maintenance facility to determine if it is correctly equipped for proper tire maintenance. This includes evaluating the building’s air system for adequate capacity, plumbing requirements to ensure moisture-free air and lubrication to pneumatic tools, proper care and storage of impact and torque wrenches, federally required safety equipment, inventory of proper tools and materials for work performed, and proper maintenance of all tire-related service equipment. Evaluation of the fleet’s retread shop and wheel refinishing supplier is also included. Recommendations will also be made to increase productivity and efficiency.
•Tire maintenance processes and procedures evaluation—TireStamp truck tire maintenance experts will evaluate processes and procedures used within the facility and/or by the fleet’s tire service providers to ensure proper tire maintenance procedures are being followed for tire mounting/demounting, tire inflation, tire repair, wheel maintenance, retreading, tire/wheel assembly installation on vehicles, and scrap tire analysis, and that all safety procedures are followed. Recommendations will also be made to eliminate tire/wheel-related problems and increase productivity and efficiency.
•Tire and wheel maintenance/servicing training—According to OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1910.177, any employee who handles truck tires and wheels must receive safety training and demonstrate their ability to perform the necessary tasks prior to performing tire service work. TireStamp’s certified Tire Industry Association (TIA) instructor will train tire technicians and mechanics in the required procedures for servicing tire/wheel assemblies as required by OSHA. Training includes use of TIA videos, hands-on as well as written tests, and provides the fleet with written proof that each person has been trained.
