Features that Set PCL Apart from the Competition
PCL is widely regarded as a leading brand in the field of pneumatic components and tyre inflation tools. The company’s reputation is built on its commitment to precision, durability and innovation. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the latest innovative features that you can find on many of PCL’s tools and equipment:
Digital Precision and Control
PCL’s range of products, like tyre inflators and pressure gauges, come with digital displays that give you precise, real-time pressure readings in various units (PSI, BAR, kPa). Some models even let you set custom pressure levels for quick and consistent tyre inflation – ideal for busy service stations and workshops.
Enhanced Safety Features
Safety is a top priority with PCL’s array of innovative equipment. Many of its safety couplings include automatic valves to prevent accidental disconnections under pressure, virtually eliminating the risk of injuries from sudden hose recoil or air bursts. Plus, certain tyre inflation tools have built-in alarms that warn you if the pressure goes beyond a safe limit, preventing tyres from over-inflating.
Quick Connect Coupling Systems
PCL’s quick-connect couplings make it a breeze to connect and disconnect air tools and hoses without needing extra tools or force. This feature boosts efficiency, especially in busy work environments where tools are constantly being swapped.
Energy Efficiency Features
PCL’s products are designed to be energy-efficient while maintaining pinpoint accuracy. They’re built to minimise air loss and optimise flow, which helps lower your energy use and operating costs over time.
Ergonomic Design Elements
PCL’s air tools, including impact wrenches and blowguns, feature ergonomically designed handles that enhance grip and comfort while reducing user strain, making them ideal for extended use. Many of these tools also come with built-in mufflers or noise reduction technology to keep noise levels down, improving both comfort and safety in the workplace.
PCL Warranties: Quality Guaranteed
All PCL’s products are designed to reduce your costs over the long term. That’s why almost all its products come with warranties that remain intact for years, including all the premium items in its Made in Sheffield range. For example, the top-rated MK4 Tyre Inflator comes with a two-year warranty. All Blue Band couplings come with amazing five-year warranties. You can feel confident that PCL’s equipment will provide instant benefits to your business, and these warranties give you that extra bit of peace of mind regarding their reliability and longevity.
