Apart from checking the vehicle’s tyre pressures regularly (including the spare), it is important for you to monitor the tread depth and wear pattern on the tyres. If tyre tread wear is uneven, it is likely that the wheels require alignment. In this case, book the vehicle in with your local Ausgrid approved service provider. Providers for each depot will be limited and agreed with Fleet Operations. Details of these can be found on The Wire. As with all servicing and maintenance, notify the supplier that the vehicle is managed by Smartfleet.
All tyres have built in tread wear indicators. This is a bar which appears across the tread. If the tyres have worn to the tread wear indicator they must be replaced promptly. It is advisable to replace the tyres when they are very close to the tread wear indicator.
For tyres for heavy vehicles, trailers and plant & equipment items continue to follow your internal processes.
