RENTON,
Wash., Jan. 19, 2011 — TRP Aftermarket Parts recently introduced a line of
mirrors for all makes of Class 6, 7 and 8 trucks.
“TRP(R) mirrors are manufactured to the highest quality standards providing
operators with an outstanding product for today’s market,” said Everett
Seymoure, global manager for TRP.
TRP offers many styles of mirrors, such as an 8-inch convex mirror and a 7-inch
by 16-inch west coast mirror. They come in a variety of finishes and are
available for all Class 6, 7 or 8 trucks and tractors, regardless of
manufacturer.
The west coast mirror comes in heated and non-heated options. The heated TRP
west coast mirror features 12-volt heater elements with 60-inch leads,
providing an efficient system for the cold weather season. Both the heated and
non-heated options come with a mirror-bright stainless steel finish for added
protection against the elements, heavy-duty multi-channel construction for
durability and 5/16-inch No. 18 mounting studs for easy installation.
The convex mirror comes in chrome steel for durability and visual appeal and
features an L bracket for easy installation. It also has a 5/16-inch adjustable
ball stud for strength and ease of use, and its glass is mounted in ozone
resistant vinyl for added protection against breakage.
TRP mirrors are backed by an 18-month warranty and available through authorized
Kenworth and Peterbilt parts and service distributors throughout North America.
Seymoure said because of their quality, TRP mirrors can help truck operators
meet new regulations established under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration’s Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program.
“Starting in December, the condition of certain vehicle components, including
mirrors, and maintenance records will play a greater role when federal and
state inspectors consider the safety fitness of operators and their vehicles,”
Seymoure said.
Under CSA, when inspectors conduct roadside inspections, they will examine the
vehicle’s different components and determine its safety fitness based on their
observations. Instead of looking just for acute problems or issues, inspectors
will also look at a variety of components. They will place greater significance
on any component defects they find that have been deemed through the analysis
of accident records and previous roadside inspections to have a higher chance
of causing accidents.
