It’s all in the technique!
Trade Garage Equipment the UK’s premier garage equipment specialist and the main distributors for Rotary Lift, the world’s leading lift technology and manufacturing company, is launching a new range of technically advanced, guaranteed quality garage equipment.
Ian Leatherland, equipment specialist for Trade Garage Equipment, introduced the first product from the new range. “It’s all in the technique, the correct and most efficient way to do things which guarantees success.
Cost-effective
The new range of ‘technique’ equipment is based around this philosophy and the first product to be launched is the ’technique’ t1001 lift. Developed and built for Trade Garage Equipment by Rotary lift, we think the the 3.5 tonne capacity t1001, is the most cost effective entrance into the world of two post, hydraulic lifts.
Simple and quick to use, this is an open topped lift with compact dimensions, it has a multipartite supporting arms design and an ergonomic control which ensure an efficient technique operation in the garage workshop.
The t1001 lifting columns feature maintenance-free high pressure hydraulic cylinders, the electro-hydraulic design also provides for low noise and effective working.
Maximum safety
The mechanical safety latch integrated on both columns, locks the lift carriage in position in emergency situations, ensuring maximum safety and the manual control is by a conventional two-hand operation. The three-stage front and rear supporting arms are automatically locked in position during the lifting operation and once the lift has been completely lowered, this interlock is automatically released.
Ease of use
The very narrow spacing between the locking positions and a manual unlocking function enhances the ease of use. The low height is perfect in case of low ceiling heights, the overall height is just 3,160mm, the overall width of the columns is 3,320mm and the space between the columns is 2688mm.
The ‘technique’ t1001 joins the wide range of lifts including the world-renowned Rotary two- and four-post lifts, scissor lifts and in-ground lifts available exclusively from Trade Garage Equipment who are the specialists for vehicle lifts in the UK.
Buyer’s Guide
All lift variations are featured in the Trade Garage Equipment ‘Buyer’s Guide’ which is free from ‘Trade Garage Equipment’ members throughout the UK.
