The ecube from Gaither Tool In today's market, consumers expect to be served whenever and wherever they happen to be. This has prompted the cre- ation of a variety of services ranging from mobile windshield replacement to online car buying. Mobile tire service is the latest result of this trend. Tire shops and service centers have been looking for a way to bring the workshop to the cus- tomer. Gaither Tool Company is proud to introduce an innovative piece of equip- ment that delivers the necessary func- tions of a fully equipped garage in a space-saving and mobility focused design: the ecube. The ecube is the ultimate all-in-one tire servicing machine. Intended for mobile service, it is loaded with features to take advantage of the on-demand con- sumer revolution. Each unit comes equipped with a semi-automatic tire changer, wheel balancer, silenced air compressor and an AGM or Smart Lithium battery bank. All these compo- nents are installed on a single platform that is small enough to fit in the back of a van or trailer. The ecube allows technicians to provide compre- hensive service wherever and whenever the customer requires it. The biggest problem with mobile tire service is the size of the machines necessary to get the job done. Traditional tire changers, wheel balancers and compressors take up a lot of room, leaving very little extra space for other equipment or tires. This means that the number of customers that can be served at once, and the kinds of services that can be provided are severely limited. However, because of the ecube's compact design, all of the critical equipment a technician needs is con- densed into a single space- saving unit. The result is a mobile service platform that can be installed in smaller vehicles while still allowing for increased inventory capacity.

Oetiker Introducing the New Multi Crimp Ring 250 Oetiker is pleased to announce the global release of the Multi Crimp Ring 250 with innovative "cross-welded technology" which has been developed for cooling and heating systems, as well as air intake applications, which require strong, low profile connecting solutions in a wide variety of diameters and band dimensions. This resilient technology for permanent connections allows ultimate space-saving and optimum StepLess ® sealing, along with efficient and reliable installation. The cross welded technology com- bines flexible production of various sizes with a highly robust connection of the ring ends. Uniform and Safe Sealing The reliability of the Multi Crimp Ring 250's 360-degree uniform and safe seal- ing enhances fuel efficiency and reduces exhaust emission. When it comes to your engine's cooling system, it is important that the hoses and pipes are functional and free of leaks. Slow leaking of fluids can con- tribute to environmental pollution and a fast leak can leave your vehicle inopera- ble and you stranded. Electric Vehicles Did you know that electric and hybrid vehicles also have liquid cooling sys- tems? This cooling system has some of the same require- ments as the fuel vehicles we drive today, such as uni- form sealing and holding performance. As you can imag- ine, EVs have a very complex circuit sys- tem that calls for space efficient and lightweight designed components. With a low profile design, the Multi Crimp Ring 250 presents a high quality and reliable connection that also meets the demands of our future. Design With systems becoming increasingly more complex, so does the demand for space efficient and lightweight designs. The Multi Crimp Ring 250's low profile and smooth design allows for a more multi- plex system without compromise to quality and reliability. The Multi Crimp Ring 250 has a high compression rate that offers superior sealing and holding force for the large wall thickness of multi-layer hose mate- rials. Overall, the design of the Multi Crimp Ring 250 allows for fast and reliable installation. The minimum space require- ment and flexible diameter reduction makes it lightweight and the ultimate in space saving! For more information, visit AAPEX booth #5316 or go to www.oetiker.com.
