Tiretyte Tire Sealant Saves Albanese Concrete Construction
Over $170,000 by Reducing their Flat Tires from 720
to Only 40

(PRWEB) May 21, 2005 --
"Tiretyte tire sealant has saved Albanese Concrete
Construction over $170,000 so far by reducing their
flat tires from about 720 to only 40 over the past 18
months."
"We started using Tiretyte at Albanese Concrete nearly
two years ago. On average, we were experiencing about
40 flat tires per month on our Caterpillar back-hoe
tractors, Case and Volvo loaders, CAT fork lifts, etc.
The average flat tire service call and repair often
took two to three hours or longer, at a cost of hundreds
and sometimes thousands of dollars. And the additional
downtime expenses were eating away at our profits. So
we decided to give Tiretyte a try." Neil Kropelnicki,
Fleet Mgr. of Albanese Concrete Co.in San Jose, CA,
said.
"Initially, we tested Tiretyte on two heavy duty off
road fork lift trucks, which went down weekly due to
flat tires. During the first three months, Tiretyte
reduced our forklift flat repairs to only two, from
the 24 to 30 repairs we would have had over the same
three months. We were so amazed at those results, we
decided to install Tiretyte into our entire fleet of
Caterpillar backhoe tractors, large Volvo loaders and
other equipment. Once again, the results were more than
amazing. Over the next 18 months, Tiretyte reduced our
flat repairs to about 40, from what would have been
approximately 720 flat repairs over the same period
of time. And most of the 40 flats we did get were as
a result of damage, which was beyond acceptable tire
repair standards.
Our tire repair service company even asked us who we
had switched our business to, and they also were very
impressed with the results." Kropelnicki said. "Tiretyte
has sealed over 95% of the tread area punctures and
damage caused by objects ranging in size from 3/16"
to 1/2" inch in diameter. Not only has Tiretyte reduced
the majority of our flats and costly downtime, but it
has also proven to increase the life of our Michelin,
Goodyear, General and Firestone tires by maintaining
our fleet's tire air pressure.
Gasoline and fuel costs have also shot through the
roof, so making sure our tire air pressures are correct
is now a must. Prior to using Tiretyte, we were spending
a tremendous amount of time constantly checking and
adjusting our fleet's tire pressure. Because of Tiretyte,
we have been able to redirect those expensive labor
hours to other maintenance requirements." Kropelnicki
said.
Kropelnicki adds, "We are happy to report our constant
headaches from costly flat tires and downtime are a
thing of the past. I wish we had started using Tiretyte
twenty years ago because it would have already saved
us millions of dollars. Tiretyte is the most amazing
product I have seen during my past thirty years of fleet
maintenance experience."
