Cats Whiskers have been tested by Dunlop, Michelin, Mintex Don, Systems Technology USA, and MIRA UK. This is what they said about our system:
“It was exciting to see a Spray Suppressant perform so well in the spray tunnel.
The Systems simplicity and light weight should make it a very desirable product.”
- Easy to fit
- Cost Effective
- Keeps your drivers safe, and your lorries on the road instead of on tomorrows newspaper headlines.
- Help to keep your brand and your customers. You never know if your next customer is driving behind one of your vehicles.
