Like many of you, here at Atlas Balance Rings we felt the Brisbane Truck Show was the best we’d ever seen.
There was more to see inside and great displays outside.
To add, there was also a real appreciation for the show as a bonus for Brisbane tourism; with operators and drivers coming from interstate and travelling from overseas. Visitors took in shows, dining, booked accommodation, and some even travelled to the Goldy, and Sunshine Coasts.
For Atlas Balance Rings and our show partners Findlay Import & Trade, and Amaron Batteries, it was great to catch up with industry colleagues, friends and customers.
It was encouraging to see that so many of our stand visitors were already customers. This gave us the opportunity to hear some wonderful feedback. We were also delighted that many drivers who had fitted Atlas Balance Rings to the steer tyres were now keen to fit the drives and trailer rings to the whole rig.
Moving the nation costs less
From the big guys at Toll Logistics, to smaller operators who move the nation, the response is overwhelmingly positive.
Jared from Highlands Transport drives a K200. He fitted out his trailer with drive trailer rings five years ago and got between 400,000 to 600,000 kilometres on the drive tyres. “The tyres were perfect, best set of tyres we have ever used – because of Atlas Balance Rings,” Jared said.
Another lovely gent, with a Kenworth T404, fitted American steers just a month ago. He uses a drop-deck low-loader working out west – Mount Isa, West Queensland and Western Australia, and he came back to order drive rings.
“I put on brand-new Bridgestone tyres, and had trouble with the left-hand steer; so I took the weights off, chucked a set of Atlas Balance Steer Rings on – and noticed the difference in the first 100 metres driving down the road. Over the last month I can feel the difference on rough and smooth roads, she steers so much better in all road conditions.”
Helping the heroes
One of our favourite Aussie charity organisations is the Lion’s Club’s Need for Feed. Tony Furze from Albury is one of the good guys pictured, loaded up with hay.
This is what he reported. “After fitting the Atlas Balance Rings on the steers of my old Kenworth 100G, I am finding it steers like something that is 25 years younger. Both loaded with hay doing deliveries, and running back home empty, it’s a pleasure to drive. I’m about to put a full set of drive tyres on and would like to fit balance rings on both axles. Thanks mate!”
Who else does this?
Founder Simon McQuillan said, “We felt a bit unique at the Brisbane Truck Show. Probably the only business offering you a 365-day money back guarantee on your trucking accessory. Yep, you read that right – if you’re not happy, give the Atlas Balance Rings back 12 months later – nice and dirty, and we will give you your money back. That’s how sure we are that you will save tyres, money and enjoy a nicer drive!”
