PCL’s confidence in its market leading MK4 product range has led to the tyre inflation expert extending its warranty from 12 months to two years.

Considerable investments into the digital ACCURA® MK4 and linear AIRFORCE® MK4 have made PCL’s best product range of its kind even better. Their longevity within the most demanding of tyre shop and garage environments has significantly increased, providing extra durability in intensive indoor and outdoor applications. The ACCURA MK4 is now as robust as the toughest linear unit available, whilst the linear is as light, accurate and easy to use as the digital inflator. A biomorphic shape provides additional comfort for the user on both models.

A key factor in the handheld ACCURA and AIRFORCE MK4’s enhanced reliability is a clever two-stage valve, with

PCL continues its commitment to customer satisfaction with the release of a high-quality family of plastic air hose reels, offering enhanced functionality and excellent value.

The Practically Perfect Tool for Fast & Simple Inflation & Deflation

The latest addition to PCL’s mechanical inflator range is the ATI Tyre Inflator, offering good, accurate all-round performance for use on cars and trucks.

Ideal for garages, car dealerships, workshops and transport depots, where tyres are not the key business focus, the handy ATI features a clear, user-friendly display and a direct valve mechanism making it quick to use for both inflation and deflation.

PCL’s ATI is more than a step up from budget dial inflators, outperforming equivalent mid-range non-EC-approved dial gauges on the market. Designed for fast, safe and simple use, the tool’s flexibility reduces time and equipment on the job, allowing operators to offer a cost-effective

Busy workers operating in tight spaces will thank heaven for small miracles with the new improved Mini Air Tools range.

The world-leading manufacturer has enhanced and expanded its already exceptional selection of tools designed for tricky jobs in tight spaces.

Two new problem-solving products have been added – the Angled Drill for places that are awkward to reach, and the ½” Ratchet which can be used with existing sockets in this more common size.

All products now incorporate a recessed shoulder, providing even better access to those hard to reach areas. Handles have been given a smoother finish, with an ergonomic rubber grip ensuring additional confidence and security, whilst cushioning the cold, hard effects of working with compressed air.

Meanwhile the branding and retail packaging have been updated for a more stylish appearance.

PCL launches tyre valve connector with vice-like grip

Pneumatic Components (PCL), the worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of pneumatic equipment and tyre inflation systems, has launched the AIR CONNECTOR, a facelift version of the PCL CO2 connector.

The AIR CONNECTOR, which is suitable for use on commercial vehicles, cars and motorbikes, has been designed to make tyre inflation easier on modern vehicles which feature larger alloy/steel wheels and more intricate designs that make the valves more difficult to access.

Manufactured using the finest zinc alloy, aluminium and brass, the AIR CONNECTOR boasts a vice-like grip and easy operation with a thumb-push release button. It can also be rotated to achieve greater grip.

The AIR CONNECTOR range comprises standard straight connectors, as well as 90-degree connectors, for greater manoeuvrability and to get to

Pneumatic Components (PCL), the worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of pneumatic and tyre inflation systems, has developed a unique, mobile tyre inflation solution for one of the largest fire and rescue services in the country.

Essex County Fire & Rescue Service (ECFRS) required a solution that would enable its fleet operators to inflate fire engine tyres up to the required psi, often 130psi or above, quickly, safely and efficiently.

Commercial fleets typically return to a single operating centre which has fixed air compressors and piped outlets. Although these ‘fixed’ installations deliver the higher pressures and volumes required for commercial fleets, it is cost prohibitive to install such systems at numerous rural or urban fire stations.

Garage forecourt inflation systems are only suited to cars, and with inflation pressures of 130psi (or higher) on many of ECFRS’s appliances, taking them to petrol stations is not a practical option.

Pneumatic Components (PCL), the worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of pneumatic and tyre inflation systems, has launched a new and improved mobile nitrogen generation and inflation cart range.

The NEXUS N72 combines PCL’s world-renowned digital pressure advancements with modern membrane nitrogen technology for the cost-effective delivery of high purity nitrogen quickly and quietly.

The compact unit is 100 per cent ‘Made in Sheffield’ and is the latest technological innovation to be born out of PCL’s research and development team in Sheffield.

Half the size of a standard pressure swing adsorption (PSA) nitrogen system and around one third of the weight, the NEXUS N72 is powered by a rechargeable battery so it can easily be manoeuvred around workspaces. The innovative new unit is also capable of inflating different front and rear tyres,

PCL are proud to announce that our TSP1T15 Tyre Safety Pack has been awarded Auto Express Best Buy 2017 award for its top quality and unbeatable performance.

PCL’s TPG1 Tyre Pressure Gauge incorporates a self-adjusting friction device which enables the pressure to be read when the tyre pressure gauge is removed from the tyre valve, and a positive sealing washer to ensure reliability. While the TDG16 Tread Depth Gauge provides accurate measurement of tread 1-26mm. In Auto Express’ practical tests, the two-gauge combo was the only one to get perfect results in its product group.

The two-scale pressure gauge has been described by Auto Express as a “conventional
