Tool and equipment manufacturer Snap-on is launching a new range of wheel service and hoist gear.
The equipment is aimed at the automotive dealership and aftermarket repair industries. It’s made with industry leading quality and technology designed for workshop technicians.
The new Snap-on equipment, available in New Zealand and Australia, includes vehicle hoists, wheel balancers and tyre changers.
The centrepieces in most automotive workshops are vehicle hoists and Snap-on have built a four tonne two-post hoist and a three-and-a-half tonne service scissor lift, which represent the two most popular workshop hoists in operation.
Snap-on’s four tonne two poster features a unique design which can load symmetrically or asymmetrically and either forward or backward, making it like four hoists in one.
The front and rear triple stage arms can handle micro cars through to SUV’s.
The three-and-a-half tonne scissor lift is a great solution and extremely versatile thanks to a clever load bearing lockable ramp design to handle short to long wheelbase vehicles and different width configuration options.
Low cars are a breeze thanks to the 115 metre low profile design, or it can be flush mounted via the optional in ground kit.
Meanwhile, Snap-on’s wheel balancer range has five models to suit every workshop situation.
They all come with unique Virtual Plane Imaging (VPI) technology which means you should only need to place weight once.
As a result, the new wheel balancer range is considered the fastest, most accurate on the market.
Snap-on’s tyre changer comes in three different units to suit all workshop requirements.
The new range of hoist and wheel service equipment is all backed and supported by a national network of local franchisees for regular customer service.
Snap-on also offers an industry leading two year warranty.
