Puncture Direct Presenter 2
Puncture Direct is a liquid sealant that is injected into tires through the valve stem. It forms a protective layer inside the tire that seals any punctures or leaks caused by nails or other objects. When an object punctures the tire, the sealant is forced into the hole by air pressure to create a permanent rubber seal. Puncture Direct seals all leaks in tires, eliminating underinflation caused by rim leaks, valve stem leaks, or porosity issues. This extends tire life, reduces fuel consumption and wear, and improves safety.
Tire safety
Tires expire 4 years after the date of manufacture stamped on the side. This date is indicated by a 4-digit number representing the week and year of manufacture. It is important to check expiration dates and tire pressure regularly, as using expired or under-inflated tires can increase the risk of blowouts and accidents. Proper tire pressure and not overloading tires is vital for safety and performance. The document provides details on reading tire sidewall information like pressure limits, load ratings, speed ratings, and temperature resistance grades.

DOT - Commercial Fleet Manager power point with logos
The document discusses corrosion issues facing fleet vehicles due to changes in road de-icing methods. Magnesium chloride and calcium chloride liquids are now commonly used and are more corrosive than sodium chloride as they stick to surfaces and activate in wet-dry cycles. Testing has shown these new de-icers cause more corrosion to vehicle materials. Fleet managers are encouraged to develop anti-corrosion strategies like inspections and applying corrosion-resistant coatings and washes to interiors and undercarriages. Products from ValuGard that can help protect against the new de-icers are highlighted.

FMCSA CSA Training for Truck Drivers
This presentation by CDL College covers CSA Training. It's geared towards the truck driver. We explain the basics of the the Compliance Safety and Accountability program adopted by FMCSA. We have tried many different ways to drive home the importance of vehicle inspections.
This CSA presentation helps drive home the point. Slide 13 contains hyperlinks to another section of the course. Slide 13 lists actual violations with a hyperlink that describes the criteria to be inspected. In my opinion, hyperlinking from the violation to the criteria reinforces the proper way to inspect an item.
For example,the first violation (listed on slide 13) shows a violation for an inoperative head lamp. This violation has a severity of 2. The presenter can then click through the hyperlink to show the proper inspection criteria for a head lamp.
Showing the violation and the severity help explain the importance of checking the headlamp. In a normal pre-trip inspection we would start with the headlamp. The driver would fall asleep during this portion of the lecture.
Who doesn't know how to inspect a headlamp? But, the driver tends to pay attention when we (first) show them the weight and severity of a headlamp violation. This is a long presentation. But, you can spend most of your time on slide 13, bouncing back and forth between the violation and the criteria.
Gear failure analysis
The failure conditions can determine when and how to conduct an analysis. For example, if the gears are damaged but still able to function, the company may decide to continue their operation and monitor the rate at which damage progresses. In this case,
samples of the lubricant should be collected for analysis,
the reservoir drained and flushed and the lubricant replaced.
If gearbox reliability is crucial to the application, the gears should be examined by magnetic particle inspection to ensure that they have no cracks.
checking the gears for damage by visual inspection and by measuring sound and vibration. Analysis is carried out at different points in the engine.
Tyre and skid marks
This document discusses tyre and skid marks which are important evidence in criminal investigations. It describes how tyre impressions and tread patterns can help identify vehicles involved in crimes. Skid marks created when brakes are applied provide information about a vehicle's speed. The length of skid marks depends on factors like vehicle weight, road conditions, tyre condition and braking efficiency. Careful measurement and analysis of tyre and skid marks is important for determining vehicle details and reconstructing criminal events.
Gear Failure & Analysis
This document discusses gear failure analysis. It begins by introducing different types of gears and common failure modes like fatigue, wear, and plastic deformation. Tooth bending and surface contact fatigue are identified as two of the most common fatigue failures. The document then discusses preparing for an inspection, including collecting background information and preserving evidence. Key steps in the inspection process are outlined such as visual examination, measuring gear geometry, and selecting specimens for laboratory testing. Finally, the document analyzes different failure modes in depth, such as bending fatigue, contact fatigue, wear, scuffing, and provides conclusions on preventing gear failure through proper design and alignment.
Why Choose Adhesives Over Traditional Fasteners?
Brian Noonan from Henkel presents on why adhesives should be chosen over traditional fasteners for joining materials. He outlines the key benefits of adhesives such as joining dissimilar substrates, distributing stresses evenly across joints, filling large gaps, and providing a neat appearance. Some considerations for adhesives include the need for curing, fixture times, and proper handling. Real-life examples are presented where adhesives provided benefits over mechanical fasteners like reduced costs, improved structural integrity, and manufacturing efficiencies.
Noorez how does tire lyna compare with other tire sealants -1.pptx(1)
Tire Lyna is an advanced tire sealant that provides permanent sealing for punctures up to 1/2 inch in diameter through its nano interlock sealing technology. It does not contain toxic chemicals like ethylene glycol, does not freeze or deteriorate over time, and solves many issues with traditional tire sealants like vibration, drying out, pooling at the bottom of the tire, or blocking valves. Tire Lyna seals the entire inner casing of the tire to prevent air loss and maintain proper pressure between -58°F and 370°F, protecting the tire from damage during its life.
Tyre Protector - Permanent Puncture Prevention
Tyre Protector is a puncture prevention solution that is used in the construction and mining industries amongst others.
It is injected into the tyre and will remain dormant until required, typically following intrusion of sharp objects.
It automatically seals the hole and you can continue on your way without incurring expensive downtime.

MotorcycleSafety
Motorcycle safety was the topic of the company's Global Safety Day 2014 presentation. Some key facts presented include that motorcycles are more vulnerable in crashes than cars due to their smaller size and lack of protection. Motorcycle crashes are more likely to result in injury or death compared to car crashes. Alcohol consumption and excess speed are factors in over 40% of motorcycle crashes. Taking a certified safety course, wearing a helmet, riding sober and at safe speeds can help reduce risks. The presentation provided tips for safe riding practices and pre-ride inspections.
Work Term Overview
The document outlines various audits, projects, and miscellaneous work completed. Audits included trailers, conveyor belts, foam tires, and grinders to collect information on equipment. Projects involved modifications to man baskets, conveyor guarding, reducing diesel particulate matter using Green Genius technology, installing cross conveyor and shaft bottom safety devices, and modifying stench gas modules. Miscellaneous work included designing an emergency brine trailer and assisting with other tasks.

1) Poor wheel straightening practices have become common as the market has grown, but can damage wheels and create unsafe conditions.
2) Excessive heat, especially from oxy-acetylene torches, can weaken wheel material and destroy heat treatment if not carefully monitored.
3) Cracked wheels are sometimes casually repaired instead of being removed from service, potentially risking failure while driving.
FABRICATION of punctured wheel assistant device for two wheelers (1) (1).pptx
This document summarizes a student project to design and fabricate a puncture assistant trolley for two-wheelers. The objectives were to create a portable device that allows two-wheeler riders to safely transport their vehicle short distances when a tire is punctured. The team conceptualized a lightweight steel-framed trolley, selected materials through testing, and fabricated a prototype. Testing showed the trolley successfully transported two different two-wheelers at speeds up to 20 km/h on different road surfaces with only minor slipping observed at higher speeds. The conclusion was that with some design refinements, such a trolley could help riders more easily transport vehicles to repair shops when punctures or other issues occur.

REAR END COLLISIONS
Rear-end collisions are the most common type of car accident, accounting for 29% of all crashes. They often occur when the lead vehicle is stopped and the following vehicle does not stop in time. Male drivers between 25-34 have a higher likelihood of being involved in rear-end collisions. To help prevent rear-end collisions, drivers should stay alert, check mirrors frequently, maintain focus on driving, identify escape routes, leave space between vehicles, and slow down gradually.
Tyres
This document provides an overview of tires, including their history, terminology, types, composition, markings, manufacturing process, and safety. It details how tires evolved from bands of leather to the pneumatic tires invented by John Dunlop in 1888. The document categorizes tires based on tread pattern, use, and whether they contain inner tubes. It also outlines the key components of tires, the manufacturing steps, and important aspects for drivers to check to ensure tire safety.
The Monster Eating Your Rigs
The new liquid de-icers used by many states to clear roads, such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride, are causing accelerated corrosion of metal components on trucks and trailers. These chemicals are more damaging than traditional rock salt because they produce a fine mist that penetrates crevices and cracks, and they absorb moisture from the air, continuing to corrode metals even when surfaces are dry. The trucking industry and manufacturers are working to develop more corrosion-resistant products and testing methods to simulate the effects of these chemicals, but fleets also need strategies like improved washing and sealing of components to protect their vehicles.
