Have you ever seen an air compressor throw a leg out of bed? We have!
On a recent trip our customer was on his way home to make it back in time for his daughter’s birthday.
Unloaded and on his way back, the brakes lock up. Air pressure drops. The driver hears a loud hiss — and knows it’s serious. He throws open the bonnet and finds the nightmare: the air compressor has thrown a leg out of bed — the piston’s punched clean through the casing.
He gives us a call, stuck roadside with a broken truck and no air pressure. No dramas — we organise a specialised tow and get the Kenworth safely back to our workshop in Welshpool.
Back in the shop, our team gets to work prepping for a new compressor install. No guesswork, no shortcuts — just straight-up repairs to get this truck back to work.
We swapped out the air compressor, customer has air pressure again, and he is ready to head back to work.
