Expanding the ALLIGATOR Sens.it™ line product line to include programming with the ATEQ VT55 now provides tire service facilities with the option of programming the TPMS sensor online or at the point of service, without the need for an Internet connection.
Because a rapidly growing number of repair facilities either have a diagnostic tool or are considering purchasing one in the near future, the integration of Sens.it™ programming functionality into the ATEQ VT55 offers an economical and convenient solution. ATEQ VT55 tools are able to program Sens.it™ sensors and older tools can be easily upgraded.
The ALLIGATOR Valve Group was recognized as the winner of the Innovation Award at the German Reifen Exhibition for Sens.it™, an Internet-based universal TPMS solution, which has been successful in the US since 2010 and was launched in Europe in October 2012.
With a combination of sensors with snap-in and adjustable-angle metal valves, Sens.it™ has by far the best coverage in the US market today. Because inventory and investment requirements are minimized, the ability to quickly service the customer is maximized. This solution is beneficial for all tire service facilities; single stores to large national chain operations.
As the world’s leading supplier of tire valves, ALLIGATOR has been able to address the corrosion issue with a patented ball-joint valve that has superior performance characteristics. “This patented adjustable valve enables the fit of our sensors to most OE and aftermarket rims,” said Udo Nitsche, ALLIGATOR VP of Sales.
