The Mintex one-stop Van Kit includes a specific friction, tailored to meet the needs of LCVs, and designed to withstand high temperatures and excessive wear.
Each Van Kit contains a pair of discs, set of pads, brake accessories, Mintex metal-free permanent lubricant, Ceratec, and handbrake shoes.
The Mintex Van Kit is a convenient service solution offering that can help save fleet operators, garages and service centres time and money.
LCV registrations were up 51 percent this year compared to 2020*, and with these rising levels it’s essential fleets are fitted with quality parts that offer longevity. As braking is an all-important safety critical category, using low quality or poorly fitted braking parts could cause difficulties, incidents and ultimately, incur additional costs to be fixed.
Scott Irwin, MIMI, Head of Technical Training at TMD Friction IAM said: “The Mintex Van Kit has been developed to make it easier for our customers to purchase braking products for LCVs.
“The material has been developed to allow the pads to perform with increased efficiency, meaning they can withstand extremely high temperatures and excessive wear. This characteristic makes the pads perfect for LCVs that are on the road for long periods of time, as they need to be changed less frequently between service intervals. This ultimately saves fleet owners and drivers money and avoids vehicle downtime.”
Operators and technicians can find all of the latest Mintex products in its online catalogue system, Brakebook, which allows customers to search for the right part and create printable catalogues tailored to their individual requirements and in the desired formats.
Alongside the web-based version, the online catalogue is also available via a free mobile app, which gives CV operators and distributors an optimised version of Brakebook, available for both Apple and Android phones. Like its web-based equivalent, the app shows images of brake products, enabling users to easily compare the measurements of a vehicle’s pads or linings to the phone’s reference.
