NUGEN V8 power

NUGEN V8 power

Nugen generators deployed by Coates Hire at Barbagallo Raceway

Nugen generators supplied to Coates Hire were hard at work throughout the Bigpond 300 at Barbagallo Raceway. The built-in safety features, efficiency and reliability made them a natural choice for this large public event. Deployed in a range of critical applications, the generators provided power for sponsors events, catering facilities and backup power at the Perth circuit.

PROMAC, the Australian distributor for Nugen generators and ProLite lighting towers, is also the sponsor of Mark McNally in the Kelly Racing Holden Commodore. Over the weekend, a number of our clients and staff came to support Mark, Jack Perkins and of course the Kelly brothers in the Jack Daniels Racing cars.

Mark endured a tough day at the office during the final day of action in the main race on Sunday. Aiming to take advantage of the extra grip provided by the soft ‘option’ tyre, the West Australian was unable to make much progress after overworking his tyres early in the race. McNally continued to push hard aboard the #16 Hi-Tec Oils Holden Commodore throughout the remainder of the race before crossing the line in 25th spot.

WHAT MARK HAD TO SAY

Mark McNally - #16 Hi-Tec Oils Holden Commodore:

“It was a tough old race we had out there today,” said Mark McNally.

“I got held up by one of the other cars while I was on the soft tyre and just really didn't get the most out of it.

“I spent the best laps of it behind someone else and I overworked the tyres trying to get past them. They seemed to go off pretty quick and I just really struggled for speed for the rest of the race.

“As soon as the tyre began to fall away, I was just slipping and sliding all over the shop. It was a pretty tough race actually.

“84 laps around here is pretty hard work, so I'm looking forward to Sydney.

“A big thanks to all the family, friends and sponsors for coming out this weekend to my home race.

“It was great to have the support there and it would have been good to get them a better result but I really appreciate their support.”

    Used radial tyres

    03 AUGUST 2006

    Don't ignore quality used radials

    Don't ignore quality used radials

    PROMAC is now positioned as one of world's largest used tyre suppliers - we can assist with your tyre strategy.

    With new radial tyres still in very short supply and some sizes (37.00R57 for example) almost impossible to obtain, many companies are now including used tyres as part of their overall tyre strategy. Whilst used radials cannot completely replace new rubber, they are providing a cost-effective interim solution. Following an extended period of research and relationship building, PROMAC has secured access to some of the largest global stocks of used radial OTR tyres. We have now begun to supply these tyres in very large quantities to clients across the world.

    The key to successfully using used tyres is an intensive & stringent quality-control and assessment process, to ensure only the premium tyres are selected. Every tyre is individually inspected inside & out to determine the extent of any damage. Certain injuries will see the tyre rejected immediately - for example belt package corrosion, body cord damage or exposure of bead steel will exclude the tyre regardless of the amount of tread remaining. Typically, we are selecting tyres with 50mm RTD +/- 10mm depending on the quality of the tyre.

    PROMAC cherry-picks and we make no bones about it - on average we approve and select only 4% of the tyres we examine.

    By selecting only the best tyres, we are providing our clients with an opportunity to retread the casings, further extending the tyre life and increasing their profitability.

    We can also assess tyres using customised client criteria - if your company would like to define the parameters you are willing to accept, PROMAC can inspect and source tyres to meet your needs. In many instances, we take a representative from our client on our visits to enable them to see the tyres firsthand.

    The tyres are usually delivered unrepaired. However, where requested by clients, PROMAC is also able to work with experienced tyres specialists who will carry out any required repairs. Alternatively, your preferred local supplier can undertake the repairs.

    Typically, tyres are sold ex-works but our service can also extend to the importation and delivery of the tyres if your company requires CIF terms. PROMAC is AQIS approved for the importation of used tyres into Australia and we have a network of experienced suppliers who provide cleaning, inspection, storage and freight services. These additional services are provided to our clients at cost.

    For further information, please contact PROMAC on 6274-2746 and take advantage of the benefits offered by quality used tyres.



    OTR tyre supply

    11 MAY 2006

    'Tyred' of waiting ...

    'Tyred' of waiting ...

    Radial OTR tyres coming to Australia

    Following an extended overseas visit, PROMAC are pleased to announce that they have secured a large volume of radial dump truck tyres, from sizes 27.00R49 upwards.

    Speaking about the deal, PROMAC’s representative remarked that “… significant price inflation and supply shortages have caused a massive headache for the Australian resources sector and related industries. Anybody who has tried to purchase large OTR tyres recently will recount stories of broken promises and obscene prices. Securing these radial tyres gives us [PROMAC] an opportunity to supply local companies with quality products at reasonable prices and to cement our position as one of the largest distributors of OTR tyres in Australia”.

    Each batch of tyres has been individually inspected to ensure that any which cannot sustain repairs are weeded-out and rejected. Repairs to the tyres are being carried out by a leading repairer/retreader who has more than 25 years experience with OTR tyres. Ranging in sizes from 27.00R49 to 40.00R57 PROMAC expects to begin delivery of the tyres during June 2006.

    One customer, a major civil and mining contractor, has ordered a significant number for their fleet of CAT 777 dump trucks, recognising that the supply situation is “…not expected to improve until at least 2008…” [Source: Bridgestone].

    Interested parties should contact Andrew McAdam (0403-909898) for further information.

    Summer ended on a high note for two PROMAC clients, with John Hovey and Prime Plant Hire taking delivery of new machines sourced by PROMAC - a 2000 CAT615C II scraper & 2002 Volvo L70D loader respectively. Our extensive network of national and international contacts enabled us to source outstanding machines with low hours, service histories and wholesale prices.

    Offering a one-stop service, PROMAC managed the entire process, from the initial client request through to delivery ensuring a hassle-free purchase. The purchase process included inspection & reporting by the local dealers, shipping & quarantine cleaning and the sourcing and fitting of attachments. The machines have arrived at our clients, ready to work and ready to earn.

    We would like to thank John Hovey and Prime Plant Hire for giving us the opportunity to supply their equipment.

    PROMAC addresses Tyre Shortage

    PROMAC addresses Tyre Shortage

    With the resource boom creating a massive shortage of earthmover tyres, PROMAC has taken proactive steps to import and supply tyres from a range of international manufacturers.

    According to Mining Monthly (Sep-05), reports are growing of dangerous tyre use practices such as running dump trucks on four tyres instead of six. The shortage has also increased prices – with earthmover tyres selling at anything up to US$60,000 each!

    We currently supply to a number of the largest mining and earthmoving firms based in Western Australia – their feedback indicates that our products are performing above expectations.

    Don’t take risks with your equipment and personnel. Call PROMAC on 6274-2746 to find out about the range of earthmoving tyres that we have available.
