Fleet Checks
Fleet Checks
A comprehensive tire maintenance program should include frequent yard checks to minimize vehicle downtime. Our yard checks can be customized to meet your needs but typically include:
- Inflation and flat-tire checks using calibrated Air-Gauges
- Measurement of remaining tread depth
- Inspection of tires for damage such as flat spots, cuts, abrasion, tread lifts, mis-matched tires, unusual wear patterns...
- Wheel inspection to detect mis-aligned valve stems, spun wheels, missing valve caps, damaged wheels, leaking oil seals...
- Tighten wheel nuts to correct torque
- Check for other obvious damage to vehicle that could cost downtime
Besides having a certified technician perform the yard check, all STTC service vehicles are equipped with items such as torque sticks, calibrated air gauges, jack stands, wheel chocks, tire cages and safety cones to make sure the work is done correctly and safely.
