PCL Supplies Nitrogen Inflators to US Harley Davidson Dealerships

Harley Davidson distributors in the US have reportedly declared nitrogen tyre inflation the safer choice for bikers. According to Sheffield-based company PCL, which will now supply its Accura nitrogen inflation units to the depots, users are impressed with “its performance and reliability, citing the best features as size and the automatic purge and fill function.” Harley Davidson distributors across the US opted for PCL’s mobile cart as a nitrogen replacement solution when they stopped using compressed air for motorcycle tyre inflation. The units are supplied via Baltimore-based Industrial Diagnostics.

Industrial Diagnostics president, Jason Copeland, said: “The Harley Davidson distributors want to offer the benefit of nitrogen, while increasing their revenue and customer retention. They chose the PCL cart, and the option of buying compressed nitrogen instead of generating nitrogen for three main reasons. First, motorcycles generally have two smaller tyres compared to cars and trucks; therefore a tank of high pressure nitrogen fills more than 35 motorcycles compared to only 10 to 14 cars or trucks. Second, the PCL cart and a high pressure nitrogen bottle are far less expensive than a nitrogen generator.”

Copeland also commented on feedback from a service manager at a large Harley Davidson distributor, who was impressed with both the product and the technical support and after sales service: “He received training along with a few service advisors, and as a result they and the technicians understand how to use the product and educate customers on the benefits.”
