Wheel & Tyre Equipment
Our range of wheel and tyre garage equipment can be used across a wide range of automotive brands. We stock wheel cleaners, tyre changers and wheel balancers, all engineered to perfection.
By selecting the right equipment, processes are streamlined, meaning your garage's productivity is boosted and your technicians are fully supported to deliver.
Tyre Changers
For effortless tyre changing which is also reliably safe and secure, choose a specialist tyre changing machine. We stock Ravaglioli products which are well known and highly regarded for their superb quality and longevity.
Our tyre changers remove tyres from all types of wheels, from motorcycles to cars, trucks to agricultural vehicles. We stock a range of models, each designed to support different applications. Innovation in the sector never stops and the latest cutting-edge leverless machines protect alloys and tyres during removal and refit.
There are automatic and manual options available. With automatic tyre changers, technician decision making is reduced, minimising human error (and injury to your technicians). If you prefer more control, we suggest manual machines, which will also reduce your initial outlay.
Wheel Balancers
For maximum automotive performance and a smooth ride, wheel balancing is an essential part of the maintenance mix. However, it's also a procedure which should be carried out with care and attention.
Our range of specialist equipment from Ravaglioli and Hoffman has been expertly designed to take care of all wheel balancing tasks. As with tyre changers, you can choose from automatic or manual options.
Automated balancers are calibrated prior to use, at which point a computer takes care of the specifics. It will run through a series of checks to assess wheel imbalance and then provide weight data for technicians to use during rebalancing.
Wheel balancing is essential for all vehicles from motorcycles to large trucks. Depending on the type of business your garage attracts, you can choose specific wheel balancing machines designed for that purpose. Our premium wheel balancers operate at maximum efficiency on motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks and other commercial vehicles.
Alignment Equipment
Wheel alignment (or tracking) is as essential to vehicle maintenance as wheel balancing. Driving on misaligned wheels increases wear and tear and limits fuel economy. Choosing top-quality equipment designed for maximum safety is a great selling point for your garage.
To guarantee quality and excellence, we've chosen to work with leading suppliers: Ravaglioli, Absolute Alignment and Pro-Align. All three are highly respected in the industry and invest time and money in product development and testing.
There is plenty of choice when it comes to specific products and their application. Laser aligners are still the preferred option for some, but for those who enjoy experimenting with cutting-edge technology, you can opt for equipment inbuilt with Bluetooth connectivity or touchless alignment systems.
With the aid of computers, modern wheel aligners are accurate to within 0.1mm, providing readouts within minutes.
What is ADAS?
With the majority of road traffic accidents caused by human error, the industry has long recognised the need for systems which support and promote road safety.
Advanced driving assistance systems use electronics to aid the driver with specific driving or parking tasks. Tests show that if the interface is fit for purpose and minimises human error, ADAS can increase road safety and reduce fatality rates.
ADAS not only assists with driving, it can also predict collisions by detecting and classifying objects or dangerous road conditions and alerting drivers to these issues. In extreme situations, ADAS can take control of the vehicle and avert potential disasters by reducing speed or bringing it to a complete stop.
ADAS technology is increasingly being fitted on vehicles as consumers grow more comfortable with the idea of computer-controlled driving aids.
- Automated lighting
- Adaptive cruise control
- Collision avoidance (with other vehicles and pedestrians)
- Traffic warnings
- Lane departure warnings
- Automatic lane centring
- Blind spot warnings
- Automated connection to sat nav via smartphone
Maintaining your customers' ADAS technology
To enable a vehicle to perform such complex automated operations requires the installation of highly-sensitive systems which are built into the very fabric of the vehicle. They all require regular maintenance to ensure their performance at the moment it's most needed.
A minor bump or windscreen change can de-stabilise camera and sensor settings, requiring recalibration and other associated checks.
We stock universal maintenance systems which are ergonomically designed to check and calibrate ADAS across multi-brand vehicles. Versatility comes as standard which makes it suitable for a range of workshop environments.
