Printwaste Recycling and Shredding, an award-winning provider of sustainable waste management solutions, has recently kitted out its fleet maintenance capabilities with the purchase of a range of essential equipment from commercial vehicle workshop experts Totalkare.

Located in Cheltenham, Printwaste Recycling and Shredding operates a sizeable fleet of specialised vehicles and has invested in a suite of Totalkare’s advanced equipment to improve both the efficiency and safety of its maintenance processes. In all, Totalkare has supplied a 10-metre vehicle inspection pit, T8DC cable-free mobile column lifts, an in-ground brake tester, shaker plates, headlamp tester, compressor and an oil drainer.

The vehicle inspection pit, which includes a DSVA-approved in-ground brake tester and shaker plates, was selected to give Printwaste Recycling and Shredding technicians easy access to all vehicle components, allowing for thorough, routine inspections. Manufactured in the Midlands from high quality pre-fabricated steel, the pit is UKCA and CE-certified and built to last.

The integrated brake tester enables precise testing of brake performance without needing to remove wheels, while the shaker plates allow technicians to efficiently check for any play or wear in the vehicle’s steering and suspension components. Complementing this equipment, Totalkare also provided a headlamp tester to ensure vehicles meet the necessary road safety standards.

The company has also added Totalkare’s T8DC mobile column lifts to their workshop. With a lifting capacity of 7,500 kg per column, these cable-free lifts offer flexibility and manoeuvrability and allow technicians to service larger vehicles with ease. Additionally, the air compressor ensures that power tools can be operated efficiently, while a 100-litre waste oil drainer supports environmental compliance by enabling the safe and efficient collection and disposal of used oil.

Geof Robins at Printwaste Recycling and Shredding said, “Our fleet is central to our business, so it’s essential that it remains in optimal working condition. Totalkare’s equipment allows us to carry out more in-depth inspections and repairs, which minimises downtime and ensures our vehicles are safe, reliable, and road-ready. This investment represents a significant step forward in our ability to maintain our fleet to a high standard, while also supporting our commitment to sustainability through efficient resource use.”

George Georgiou, Area Sales Manager at Totalkare explained: “We’re proud to support Printwaste Recycling and Shredding with a comprehensive solution that aligns with their values and operational goals. This setup not only optimises their maintenance capabilities but also demonstrates Printwaste’s commitment to sustainability and safety.”
