Technique T2120 wheel balancer from Trade Garage Equipment
Published: 28 February, 2014
The Technique T2120 wheel balancer from Trade Garage Equipment features 3D data input and automatic entry of offset, width and diameter using an inner and outer measuring arm. The colour display shows live readings, highlighting the imbalance positions which makes hidden weight placement easier to carry out. The cabinet can store weights and an additional storage facility on the side can be used for other weights, cones and accessories. The balance complements the recent T2520 automatic tyre changer - introductory offers are available on both of these products at the moment, enquire to find out more.
- Space saver
The Sun VIC 3000 Automatic Test Lane from Snap-on helps test centres save space and money. The VOSA approved equipment uses the Sun DGA 2500 Combi Gas Analyser as the central control for the entire test lane. This reduces the footprint and also provides a cost-effective route into upgrading to an ATL. A powerful PC is coupled with an adjustable 22" tilt and turn flatscreen monitor so the tester can easily see information. The diagnostic emissions analyser has automated test procedures and has a modular design so garages can expand the DGA 2500 into a complete diagnostic and information system.
- Raise your service level with a new lift
A comprehensive range of lifting equipment is available from Tecalemit, encompassing two and four-post lifts, scissor lifts and ATL and MOT lifts. Mobile column and even single post and other specialist lifts are offered. The company has been supplying 4-post lifts for over 80 years and the latest range includes service, MOT and wheel alignment lifts with capacities from 3.5t to 6.0t. Its service lifts incorporate a jacking rail and can be installed into a floor recess or surface mounted. Class IV and VII MOT lifts include radius turning plates, auto chock drive-on ramps, electronic latch release and meet all technical requirements set out by VOSA. Its wheel alignment range can be used with 4 wheel laser, CCD and 3D imaging systems. Wheel-free operation is possible with auxiliary lifting scissor tables.
- Save space and cash
The Sun VIC 3000 automated test lane is designed by Snap-on to save space and money by using the Sun DGA 2500 Combi Gas Analyser as the central control unit for the ATL. The gas and smoke analyser includes automated test procedures and is said to be very easy to use. Its design is modular so you can expand it into a complete diagnostic and information system. The equipment centres around a standard PC and an adjustable 22" tilt and turn flat screen monitor. An inkjet printer is also provided.
