FLEETDRIVE many popular vehicles and can be specified at different ride height variations depending on the application . This again means Pedders are able to deliver a solution that is as safe as possible for the application .
As part of the Pedders approach , the dedicated Pedders Fleet team can also specify a brake upgrade to suit the needs of your fleet . If you ’ re carrying additional weight with your vehicle and you already have a GVM + Upgrade , it makes complete sense to also upgrade your braking system to handle the additional stresses of safely stopping a heavier vehicle . Pedders are one of the few GVM + Upgrade providers available that also offer an impressive suite of brake upgrade parts for Fleet vehicles .
The Pedders brake upgrade range includes high-performance Kevlar Ceramic Brake Pads , Slotted & Geomet-coated Rotors , Rear Disc Brake Conversions for drum brake utes , Dual Diaphragm Brake Boosters , and Extreme Big Brake Kits which are a complete replacement performance brake package including new rotors , calipers and pads .
Pedders are now also offering the Electric Secondary Park Brake ( ESPB ) – an innovative new product that applies modern electric park brake technology to Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series models . The problem with a manual cable operated park brake is the brake pressure can vary and as the cable stretches over time the brake becomes less effective and can cause a roll-away risk . The ESPB ensures the appropriate holding force is applied every time the brake is activated , providing an additional layer of security and safety and greatly reducing the risk of rollaway . This product is available now for all popular LandCruiser 70 Series models manufactured from 1990-onwards .
Aside from GVM , suspension and brake solutions , Pedders also offer steering and chassis parts like bushes , control arms and CV Boots & Shafts to keep your Fleet vehicles operating in safe condition .
But if your vehicle fleets often carry heavy loads , you will be impressed to know that Pedders offer the LoadRyder Onboard Scales kit which is able to weigh an entire vehicle without using scales or a weigh bridge and provides instantaneous vehicle weight information to the driver including Gross Vehicle Mass , axle loads and available Payload . If the vehicle becomes overloaded beyond it ’ s GVM rating an alarm will sound and the event will be logged in the device . The LoadRyder system can also be programmed to send a remote notification to a Fleet Manager to notify them of the overloading event .
Pedders are at the forefront of innovation when it comes to towing and load-carrying safety solutions and the business is focused on delivering better journeys to the fleet sector through a wholistic vehicle approach . The Pedders range is always expanding to suit the needs of the Fleet market . For more information visit the Pedders website or contact Fleet @ Pedders . com . au
