Warranty on Trucks and Trolleys Extended to 10 years by The Workplace Depot

Leave a comment

The Workplace Depot is delighted to announce that their range of Fetra trucks and trolleys will now be under warranty for 10 years; previously the warranty was for five years.

Many workplaces rely heavily on trucks and trolleys to move goods around and they can take a heavy pounding from regular, hefty usage. So it may come as a surprise that a company could guarantee the reliability of such an item for an extended period.

Ken Miller, Director of the Workplace Depot explained, “The reason we can give a 10 year warranty is because the equipment is now manufactured at highly efficient production facilities using some of the most advanced precision machinery. The Fetra range of trucks and trolleys are also powder-coated and undergo vigorous shot blasting pre-treatment.”

The new manufacturing process extends the product life as well as keeping the finish in tip-top condition for much longer.

There may be cheaper alternatives in the truck and trolley ranges provided by other suppliers, but buying an inferior item can be a false economy. This type of transport equipment has notoriously high levels of wear and tear, so lower quality equipment may only last a few years and therefore need to be replaced. This wastes both time and money versus the alternative of purchasing a reliable product that is guaranteed for 10 years.

Steve Miller, The Workplace Depot’s Managing Director commented on the quality of the Fetra products, “We are proud of the fact that if any of the Fetra products fail within 10 years, we will replace the whole truck or trolley, not just replace a part. We will of course do this free of charge. Our range is built to last and nothing says this more than a 10 year warranty.”

Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars ships the SmartTOP add-on convertible top modules equipped with a standard USB port for PC based configuration and firmware updates.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), June 17th, 2013 — The SmartTOP add-on controller offered by Mods4cars delivers extra convenience and functionality for convertible top operation.

Each module comes with a host of user configurable bonus functions as well.

Mods4cars continuously keeps improving its products. For that reason all SmartTOP modules come equipped with a mini USB port which allows customers to connect the product to their laptop or desktop computers.

“We are proud to announce that our own application has passed verification with Apple and is now certified and available in the official App Store.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “With m4cconnect now being available free of charge in the Mac App Store it has become even easier for our customers owning a Mac computer to download and use our program. Additionally they will always stay up to date, since app updates are shown automatically.” Sven Tornow continues.

After installing the new app customers can connect their SmartTOP module via the supplied USB cable and configure all settings. Possible options are, for example, maximum desired speed for top operation or if the windows should be op or down by default after opening the top from the remote. All user configurable settings can be enabled or disabled with and are explained in the app.

The app also allows end users to install firmware updates offered by Mods4cars. “We continuously keep working on adding new functions and features and often customer feedback leads to development of new functionality.” says Sven Tornow. “Updates are offered free of charge and without any limitation to owners of each of our products: A one of a kind service in this product segment.” Sven Tornow concludes.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.
