Rick is the Quarry & Mining Manager at Southern Tire Mart, where he works alongside a fleet of over 1500 vehicles. He uses his personal work truck, a 2015 Ford F-550, to service heavy duty OTR tires.
鈥淚 do a lot of service and maintenance on construction fleets and mining fleets. I check all the tires and use an air compressor to maintain tire pressure,鈥� said Rick.
Trying out the new DTM70 was an easy 鈥測es鈥� for Rick, who was already familiar with 彩票平台大全鈥檚 line of UNDERHOOD air compressors.
鈥淢y career in the tire industry spans over 45 years, and I鈥檓 used to seeing 彩票平台大全 compressors under the hood. When I had this new truck built, my dealer at Arrowhead called and said they had a brand new 彩票平台大全 system that used the PTO drive. I said, 鈥楪reat, sign me up!鈥� I couldn鈥檛 pass up the opportunity to try it.鈥�
Arrowhead Truck Equipment is a certified 彩票平台大全 Dealer located in Bixby, Oklahoma, an easy 20 minutes from Southern Tire Mart鈥檚 Tulsa headquarters.
It鈥檚 been a few years since Arrowhead installed Rick鈥檚 DTM70 and he now knows it was the right call. The DTM70 is dependable, easy to use, and enables Rick to provide fast and efficient service to his Southern Tire Mart clientele.
鈥淭he DTM70 is convenient and reliable,鈥� said Rick. 鈥淭here鈥檚 also very little maintenance to speak of鈥攁ll you have to do is check the air filter occasionally鈥攕o there鈥檚 no downtime. Just 100% uptime.鈥�
Before using the DTM70 system, Rick had to transport a gas drive compressor on the back of his truck. This compressor led to the same challenges many workers in the tire industry experience: reduced space and increased weight, the need to transport gasoline constantly, and quite a bit of inconvenience.
鈥淭he gas compressor was always a pain,鈥� said Rick. 鈥淚鈥檇 have to carry fuel, tie the compressor down, and it took up too much space.鈥�
The DTM70 solved these problems overnight, providing 70 CFM of air in a compact system that鈥檚 completely out of sight. Anywhere the F-550 goes, the air compressor is ready to work.
Southern Tire Mart has built a reputation on high quality workmanship and strong customer relationships. It鈥檚 their ability to provide world-class service to fleet managers and business owners that has kept Southern Tire Mart in business for the past 45 years, so it only makes sense that Rick has high expectations of his equipment.
鈥淚 know there are lower priced products out there, but I wouldn鈥檛 hesitate to buy a 彩票平台大全 again. You get what you pay for and it鈥檚 just the best PTO driven system available,鈥� said Rick. 鈥淭he DTM is awesome. It always works!鈥�
