Andreani - SP5 PLUS suspension bleed pump

In the past two years , Italian distributor and suspension specialist Andreani Group has had quite a landmark period in the continuing development of its Pesaro based multinational business . In addition to adding European distribution in select markets for some of the brands it represents in Italy and further developing its own brand product lines , Andreani Group has successfully established its own office and warehouse at Hendersonville , North Carolina . That is always a big undertaking for European businesses , but in 2022 , former motocross racer
Giuseppe Andreani decided that the time was right and appointed his former European Export Sales Manager Luciano Ubaldini as his North American president . Initially , the primary focus has been on its own brand ' Misano ' street and ' Rally ' off-road suspension cartridges , select third party brand distribution opportunities for some of the Italian manufacturers it represents in its domestic market , worldwide distribution of the Italian made TNK forks line and , of course , a core competency for them globally - its huge range of specialist suspension tools and workshop equipment . Available to dealers and suspension technicians worldwide , the latest updates to the popular SP5 bleed pump - the SP5 PLUS - is a significant evolution of its established design and described by European Sales Manager Diego Arduini as " the most advanced machine in the Andreani range for bleeding shock absorbers and cartridges . " Thanks to its new features and characteristics , it offers a more efficient , versatile and user-friendly working experience . Among its main advantages are a new Multiple Bleed mode , which allows connecting two shock absorbers or cartridges together , a new intuitive and user-friendly graphical interface , suitable even for less experienced users , increased oil loading capacity to 7 litres ( 2 x 3.5 l ), and automatic altitude adjustment implementation , so the SP5 PLUS can be operated reliably and precisely in any conditions ."
