The knock-on effect from two years of disruption has created a backlog of vehicle servicing and maintenance work. Meanwhile, new car shortages means more second-hand cars are on the road with an increased focus to maintain and extend the life of these vehicles.
It’s no wonder workshop owners are not getting the chance to stop and take stock. However, now is the time to ensure your workshop has the best tools and equipment to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your business.
Revolutionise your servicing range and speed
This year, Snap-on tools has released new workshop equipment solutions including hoists, air conditioning stations, wheel balancers and tyre changers. This is alongside our extensive range of technician tools and our ever-expanding diagnostic solutions.
Vehicle hoists are the heart of the workshop and Snap-on have a range to suit your floorspace and workflow, from our 3.5T double service scissor to our 4.5T and 5.4T two post options, as well as our 5.4T four post model. These are heavy-duty units that allow you to efficiently manage the increased demand in your workshop.
Maximise technician efficiency with our scissor lift capable of a nominal load lift in only 45 seconds. Meanwhile, our two post lifts – with dual stage front and rear arms – allows a wider range of vehicles to be raised.
Air Conditioning
Snap-on’s latest automatic air conditioning stations reflect the growing demand for high-quality units that make AC service work both safe and profitable. Blizzard IV and Breeze IV units that work alongside leak detection kits, cordless work lights and digital dual thermometers, can increase billable repairs when performing recovery and recharging of both R134A and R1234yf refrigerants.
Wheel and Tyre Service
Snap-on’s new range of dual speed tyre changers (available in 22” and 24”) allow technicians to quickly demount, install and safely bead with precise control. The 24” unit has a top mount pneumatic bead assist making short work when seating the most stubborn tyres.
For fast and precise weighting, our SAPE arm-equipped wheel balancers automatically enter wheel configuration then use laser technology to accurately pinpoint weight placement with a fast 4.5 second cycle time.
