What to Look for in a Heavy-Duty Automatic Tyre Inflator?

When selecting a heavy-duty automatic tyre inflator, consider the following key factors to ensure optimal performance and reliability:

Product construction

Opt for heavy-duty tyre inflators with a rugged diecast aluminium enclosure rated IP66, ensuring resistance to dust, water ingress, and harsh weather conditions. This construction makes them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Some inflator models also feature optional Piezo control switches, which are ideal for environments where mechanical switches may wear out quickly or be vulnerable to vandalism.

Compatibility

Ensure the inflator is compatible with various gases, including air and nitrogen. This versatility allows the inflator to be used across different applications.

Accuracy

Look for high-pressure inflators with an accuracy of ±0.5% full scale (FS). This level of precision ensures accurate tyre inflation, contributing to optimal vehicle performance and safety.

Units of measurement

When choosing a heavy-duty tyre inflator, ensure it supports multiple units of measurement. Common units include PSI used in the US and UK, bar in Europe, kilopascals (kPa) in countries like Canada and Australia, and kg/cm² in Japan. This flexibility ensures accurate inflation across different settings, making the inflator suitable for global and industrial use.

Frequently Asked Questions About High-Pressure Automatic Tyre Inflators

  1. Can I use the heavy-duty digital tyre inflator for my campervan?

    Campervans typically don’t need the very high tire pressures. However, they might require more pressure than regular passenger cars due to their added weight. Before using the heavy-duty digital tyre inflator for your campervan, determine the recommended pressure by checking the owner’s manual.

  2. What PSI is too high and why is overinflation dangerous?

    Tyre pressure is high when it exceeds the manufacturer's recommended PSI. Overinflation reduces traction, increases tyre wear, stiffens the ride, and raises the risk of blowouts, compromising handling, braking, and overall road safety. Always follow the recommended PSI for safety.
