Your Ford commercial fleet runs at all hours of the day and is no stranger to burning the midnight oil. Operating in dark job sites or poorly lit roads makes lighting system maintenance extremely important. Keep your medium-duty trucks compliant with safety regulations by having their lighting systems inspected at Skaha Ford in BC.These tips can also help identify and prevent lighting system failures for your fleet vehicles:
Â
• Look for corrosion: Inspect each vehicle’s lighting system to identify unprotected wiring or connectors and use protective coverings to reduce damage from moisture.
• Perform pre-trip inspections: Get your fleet operators in the habit of inspecting lighting systems before setting out on the road, especially any components on forward-facing surfaces that are exposed to the elements.
• Keep up with regular maintenance: Lighting systems can sometimes be a forgotten maintenance item. If your trucks have burnt-out bulbs or haven’t been inspected in some time, book your trucks in for service.
• Consider LEDs: If your fleet vehicles are using incandescent lamps, consider switching to LEDs, which have a higher light output and are longer lasting.
