Background to tyre change training by the Tourist Hire Department.
In order to provide safer and more secure services to customers, the Sightseeing and Hire Department, which operates jumbo taxis, focuses not only on routine vehicle maintenance, but also on building a system that can respond quickly to emergencies.
Under the motto "safe, secure and comfortable", the company provides a mobile space that truly satisfies its customers. Behind the scenes, daily inspections and maintenance are essential. It is this "extra effort" in the unseen places that gives us the peace of mind we enjoy today.
What is the maintenance regime for jumbo taxis?
Our company carries out thorough pre-service inspections as well as regular maintenance according to mileage and usage. Because jumbo taxis carry a large number of passengers, we check everything from the brakes and tyres to the engine compartment in detail. Staff with maintenance qualifications are stationed in the company and carry out appropriate maintenance while keeping track of the condition of each vehicle.
In particular, it is important that drivers themselves understand and are able to practise basic tyre change operations on heavy vehicles, as they are required to respond immediately in the event of tyre damage or problems.
The aim of this training course was to improve the initial response capability that can be done in-house, based on the philosophy that safety is made on the front line. As professionals who handle vehicles on a daily basis, this initiative is designed to further improve operational safety.
Periodic inspections by professional mechanics.
The mechanics carefully check tyre pressure, wear and oil condition based on a checklist. They attend to each vehicle individually to ensure that even the smallest abnormality is not overlooked. Before giving the customer a ride, they always assess whether the vehicle is in a safe condition or not.
Need for tyre change training.
JumboTaxi.com's Tourist Hire Department has trained its drivers to change tyres in preparation for unpredictable situations, although it is usually rare for drivers to change their own tyres. It is important to be prepared for any eventuality. This training will help drivers to remain calm and able to deal with emergencies.
Giant grand ace.
All vehicles used by JumboTaxi.com are large vehicles such as one-boxes and wagons, with no sedan types. As a result, even a single tyre is heavy and lifting the vehicle body with a jack can be a challenge. Changing tyres on large vehicles requires specific skills and strength, and this training is an important step in overcoming this. In particular, changing a tyre on a Toyota Gran Ace, with its huge body and comfort, is quite hard work.
In a heat so hot it's hard to believe it's winter.
The day was so hot that it was hard to believe it was winter, and everyone who took part in the training was drenched in sweat. Changing the tyres of large vehicles is a physically demanding task, and this day provided an opportunity to realise that. However, everyone completed the work safely and gained a great sense of achievement.
Safety and maintenance: basic principles
At JumboTaxi.com, customer safety is a top priority. Regular vehicle inspection and maintenance is essential to provide a pleasant and safe environment for customers. This training course was an opportunity to reaffirm the importance of adhering to routine safety standards.
The reason why customers choose us is because of our 'invisible efforts'.
Every time we receive feedback from customers that the interior of their vehicle was comfortable and that they were able to travel with peace of mind, we realise the importance of inspections and maintenance.
The steady work of daily maintenance leads to smiles on the faces of our customers - that is the pride of Jumbo Taxis.
Finally.
This tyre-changing course was more than just technical training. Being prepared to deal with unexpected situations, strengthening teamwork and, above all, increasing safety awareness were the real objectives of the course. These lessons are also useful in day-to-day operations.
