This latest addition to the company’s portfolio focuses on delivering consistent steering precision while supporting long service life across a wide range of heavy-duty applications. Developed for trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles, the new range supports the increasing need for components that can withstand demanding operating conditions while maintaining performance over time. Steering pumps play a central role in ensuring smooth and responsive vehicle handling, particularly in commercial applications where load, mileage and operating environments place significant stress on components. The new range is now available to order through ZF Aftermarket’s distribution network, with further information available via local ZF or WABCO representatives and the ZF Aftermarket website. Laser Tools has launched a new brake & clutch pressure bleed kit (9315), which can be powered from 230V mains, a 12V vehicle supply or its detachable 21V rechargeable battery. The kit includes 16 precision-machined aluminium brake cylinder adaptors, plus master cylinder caps included for common European and Japanese vehicles. The kit is easily adjustable from 0–50 psi (0–3.5 bar) for safe, repeatable bleeding, and it draws fluid directly from bottles to simplify refilling and reduce contamination risk. It also includes two bleed bottles for the simultaneous servicing of two axles. The kit will auto shut-off when empty and is safe for DOT 3, 4, 4+ and DOT 5.1 brake fluids, along with being CE & RoHS approved. Plus it is compatible with the Laser Tools’ existing range of master cylinder adaptor caps for expanded vehicle coverage.
