MACEDON, N.Y., Sept. 12, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Tracking vehicle and equipment usage and maintenance schedules is simple with Magnatag Visible System's(r) Vehicle & Equipment Maintenance Schedule(tm) dry-erase printed whiteboard kits.
The 3' by 4' Vehicle Maintenance Schedule whiteboard tracks up to 66 vehicles or pieces of equipment simultaneously. The left-side of the whiteboard features colored cardholders to display individual vehicle/equipment names. Magnetic strips with mileage or hour index scales can be positioned horizontally anywhere across the board. Colored arrows are then placed in each row to display current mileage or hours for that specific vehicle or equipment. To show when maintenance is required or inspections are due, magnets of different colors and shapes can be positioned at intervals across the board.
The whiteboard also has room to post the daily service tasks and monthly service requirements for the current and following year. An optional visible file will hold the service history for equipment or vehicles. Everything on the board is magnetic and movable, and users can write directly on the board with dry-erase pens.
"The whiteboard shows information such as mileage, hours of use, equipment history, inspection and warranty dates, license renewals, scheduled maintenance and repair status," says Wally A. Krapf, founder and CEO of Magnatag Visible Systems. "The Vehicle & Equipment Maintenance Schedule allows a manager and employees to visually display a range of information, track maintenance schedules, and help keep a wide range of equipment or vehicles up-to-date and operational."
The Vehicle & Equipment Maintenance Schedule's simplicity and high visibility keeps all employees informed while reminding maintenance workers of a strict schedule and clear, enforceable deadlines. Customer comments include:
* "We've been growing and just got our second vehicle
maintenance board. It helps us manage our preventive
maintenance program. Keeping our equipment maintained and in
service is important. With the Vehicle Maintenance Schedule
we can all see what has to be done and when." - Asst. Manager,
excavating company, Norwalk, OH
* "We had a homemade board but that wasn't making it. Your

maintenance history (card file) and reminds us of everything
we have to do to keep things running." - General Manager,

The basic whiteboard kit is available with the visible card index maintenance record holder. It also includes multiple color and shaped magnet signals indicating the type of maintenance work scheduled at each mileage or hour post, dry-erase pens in four colors, a magnetic eraser and pen holder, one eight ounce spray board cleaner and conditioner and large lint-free board wipes. Additional magnetic symbols in ten colors let the user identify 20 different types of service and repair, while an optional visible card file stores more information specific to a particular vehicle.
