A GOOD SIGN.<br />

Your drivers read plenty of signs all day<br />

long. So, it’s nice to know that when it<br />

comes to weighing there is only one sign<br />

they need to look for –<br />

CAT Scale.<br />

Guaranteed accurate weights at over<br />

985 locations.<br />

Tell your drivers to look for the black and<br />

gold sign and weigh on a CAT Scale for a<br />

guaranteed accurate weight.<br />

procedures they need to know, including<br />

how to use the Hazmat Table, how to<br />

prepare shipping papers, package<br />

selection, loading/unloading requirements,<br />

and proper marking, labeling and<br />

placarding. The video uses dynamic<br />

graphics, compelling narration and<br />

eye-opening statistics to “sell” safety to<br />

employees and help them understand<br />

why they should always perform their<br />

jobs properly. It’s available on DVD for<br />

AIR RIDE SUSPENSION<br />

KELDERMAN KITS FOR GMC<br />

4500/5500 TRUCKS<br />

The air-ride suspension kits for GMC<br />

4500 and 5500 trucks from Kelderman<br />

Manufacturing are bolt-on affairs.<br />

Designed with an electronic automatic<br />

height control unit with an air dump<br />

feature, Kelderman’s kit features parallel<br />

trailing arms to eliminate axle twist and<br />

minimizes pinion-angle movement,<br />

transferring power to the ground for a<br />

more stable, comfortable ride. The<br />

factory sway bar is not removed.<br />

Kelderman uses quality Firestone air<br />

bags and provides everything required<br />

including wiring harness, bolts, hardware<br />

and easy-to-read instructions, making<br />

this a do-it-yourself project. A tech<br />

department is available Monday through<br />

Friday to assist with installation.<br />
