Midlands Truck and Van invests in workshop efficiency
A Midlands-based Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle dealer has taken a significant step towards enhancing their vehicle maintenance and repair capabilities by investing in two post lifts from workshop equipment experts Totalkare.
Midlands Truck and Van Ltd operates dealerships in Birmingham, Coventry, and Wolverhampton, and is an approved Mercedes-Benz and FUSO Canter commercial vehicle dealership for the West Midlands. They offer Van & Truck sales, supported by a 24h Aftersales solution that is dedicated to maximizing your vehicle uptime.
The recent addition of two Totalkare two post lifts at the Wolverhampton site signifies the company’s dedication to ensuring efficient and effective maintenance and repair work on the wide array of commercial vehicles they service.
Totalkare’s two post lift offers an advantage over other lifting solutions, as they provide access to the underside of vehicles, including the wheels and associated operations, without the need for additional support stands. This feature ensures quicker and more efficient maintenance and repair work, which is crucial for a business that focuses on keeping commercial vehicles on the road.
The two post lift is available in a range of lifting capacities, ranging from 4,500kg to 7,000kg. It features an electro-hydraulic design, non-load-bearing cables for even lifting and lowering, and individual control units for each column. The double-S profile of the lifting columns ensures stability while minimizing space requirements, and their baseless frame-free design allows for easy installation. The lifts provide rapid lifting and lowering, with optional extras available for specific lifting requirements, such as Sprinter, Crafter and Daily vans.
James Atkins, Area Sales Manager at Totalkare stated, “We’re pleased to have Midlands Truck and Van Limited as one of our valued clients. Our two post lifts are designed to provide exceptional support to such businesses, catering to a diverse fleet of commercial vehicles. These lifts are known for their durability, stability, and efficiency, making them an excellent addition to any busy light commercial or mixed fleet workshop.”
Dean Sayfritz from Midlands Truck and Van confirmed the operational benefits of the lift installations. “Our commitment to delivering the best customer experience extends to our workshop facilities. The addition of Totalkare’s two post lifts enables us to perform maintenance and repairs with greater efficiency. These lifts are essential for servicing vehicles with long wheelbases like Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.”
