Attracting lots of attention at Automechanika on the Ring Automotive stand was its new range of tyre inflators, the ULTRAINFLATE series. 

Having created its tyre care range 20 years ago Ring has since fashioned an award winning and highly respected line-up of over 25 products, including tyre inflators, gauges and sealant. Over these 20 years, more and more motorists have changed their habits. No longer are they visiting petrol forecourts to top up their tyre pressures. Instead, motorists are more proactive and check their tyres at home. 

The new ULTRAINFLATE range is designed to make this essential task even easier. It is split into three products, each offering varying levels of capability and price points. All have large display screens, intuitive operation, LED lights and valve cap storage.

The entry level tyre inflator is the ULTRAINFLATE10. It features a large analogue display and easy to press power and light buttons, and an integrated LED light that is perfectly angled on the inflator to maximize visibility during use. It has a 3m wind up cable, and built in 12V plug storage, making it quick to pack away neatly. Additionally a 60cm long hose makes it possible to inflate tyres on large wheels.

The ULTRAINFLATE 20 builds on the capabilities of the ULTRAINFLATE10. This model boasts a large digital display and ‘Ringtelligence’ Technology brings a programmable auto-stop function, ensuring precise inflation every time, as well a ‘Dynamic Display’ with a progress bar on the screen, allowing users to track the inflation process, indicating how much pressure is still required to meet the set target.  

The premium model in the range is the ULTRAINFLATE 30, designed for speed and ease of use. It is capable of inflating a tyre from flat in just two minutes. It has a longer wind up cable at 3.5m and a 70cm long hose with a large brass connector for a secure fit. It has the same ‘Ringtelligence’ auto stop technology as the INTRAINFLATE 20, as well as the largest digital display screen of the range. It also features the ‘Dynamic display’ progress bar, but instead of plus/minus buttons for setting the target pressure, it has an ‘Easyset’ dial, making it even easier to use. 

Marketing Director, Henry Bisson, commented: “We’ve done a lot of research on this new range to ensure it includes everything a driver would want from a tyre inflator. It’s easy to use, simple to understand, doesn’t take too much time to inflate and it’s stress free to put back into a storage bag or the box it came in.” 

The ULTRAINFLATE series is now available from Ring stockists.
