What are The Benefits of Truck Wheel Polishing?

Posted by Mark on January 5th, 2017

A trucker is like a pilot of an aircraft. The pilot takes a walk around the aircraft (does not matter if it is a multi-engine 747 or a single engine Piper Cherokee). He looks around carefully trying to spot anything unusual; most pilots check the tires and the wheels by kicking the tire.
The trucker before he mounts the cab also takes a walk around the vehicle. Pays careful attention to the condition of the tires and closely looks at the wheels for any unusual sign. This is a ritual that is replicated all over the country and the world as the wheels are the most important component on a truck.

Truck wheel polishers are now standard equipment in any garage of decent size and at major truck stops. The automatic wheel polishing system such as the VIS-Shine is a portable system that can polish the wheel without demounting the wheel. All that a trucker needs to do is alight from the cab inform that he is having a cup of coffee and by the time he returns the portable aluminum wheel polisher would have polished the wheels and given it a pristine appearance.

The trucking world is full of the latest news from outfits such as Uber that have introduced driverless trucks on a trial basis.There is plenty of debate about the effects of automation in the trucking world. Serious questions are raised about job security. The transportation business is one of the largest employment generators and driving is a major profession. However in all fairness to the development of technology it is still in the nascent stage and unless regulators come to grips with technology this innovation will have few takers.


Irrespective of the arrival of such technology the aspect of wheel maintenance and pristine appearance of the wheels has no solutions from technology. Wheels have to be looked after, and the only way is for wheel polishing systems to keep the components in perfect working order.


Vehicle Inspection Systems (VIS) has already automated the wheel polishing system. The VIS-Polish system is a boon to truck owners, fleet shops, tire dealers and detail shops. The polishing equipment builds customer loyalty and strengthens pride in the fleet. Safety aspect is accorded the highest priority and as such new revenue streams are added. The detail shops are happy as it complements chrome shop revenues while reducing labor costs.

VIS is aware of the progress of technology and innovation. While they may be unable to go against the inevitable they have embraced technology to augment existing practices and keep safety as the top most priority. 25 years in this business of heavy transportation equipment has taught VIS many things and they understand that safety is a matter not tube trifled with.
