Picking the right equipment for your shop should be an exercise in precision. You want the gear that works, with the support to ensure it stays working professionally and profitably.

So, are you going to bet on the product recommended by a slick salesman with a brochure or by someone who has been where you are – at the coalface, turning wrenches, spinning spanners and managing your own shop?

These are the people you should be listening to when it comes to precision equipment – the team that is Precision Equipment; a team you can trust, because they’ve all come from where you are.

Over the past 12 months, Precision Equipment has had something of a refocus, consolidating its sales and operations teams while at the same time, developing a showcase venue for its two brands – Rotary and Summit.

“Our two brands are well suited to the needs of the New Zealand market,” explains sales manager Cory Nicholls, “and we recognise that different shops have different requirements with the common requirement being reliability.

“Both Summit and Rotary brands deliver on that requirement with the Summit brand focusing on consistently competitive pricing for its product range and Rotary positioning itself as a leader in terms of technology.”

An excellent example of this is the R1080 wireless electronic wheel aligner, which uses Bluetooth technology to deliver space saving advantages.

“The 1080 is towerless and is about the size of a professional portable toolchest,” says Cory. “This makes it perfect for any size workshop, but because it takes up so little room, it is especially recommended where space is at a premium.

“Bluetooth technology ensures uninterrupted signal between sensors and head unit, while the Windows-based data management and animated instruction features make the unit easy to operate without extensive retraining.

“We see the 1080 working well with the 4-tonne to 6.35-tonne four posters and scissor lifts shops are putting in to contend with longer bodied vehicles like courier and camper vans,” says Cory.

“The versatility of these lift systems and the compact portability of the 1080 is a great combination for futureproofing the profitability of your business.”

And for the workshop which has height over length in terms of space, you might be contemplating a 2-post hoist and Precision Equipment offers a number of options. For the ultimate in lifting efficiency, however, check out the latest technology from Rotary: ShockWave.

ShockWave is the supercharger for the versatile and efficient SPOA10 Shockwave, asymmetric two-post hoists.

With ShockWave technology, the lifting speed of the most popular 4500kg hoist is doubled, making ShockWave-equipped hoists the fastest lifters available.

“The industry standard for a two-post hoist is about 40- 50 seconds to reach full lift,” says Cory, “and even Rotary’s own figures show a 45 second lift performance.

“With ShockWave, that 45 seconds is reduced to 20 seconds with descent times equally reduced to 19 seconds. The secret is ShockWave’s DC power systems,” explains Cory.

And while ShockWave technology is the very latest in efficiency improvements, the SPOA10 ShockWave hoists are well recognised for their innovative features, including three stage Trio arm extension flexibility in a unique self-sliding arm, laser light centring system and lock light for improved safety in the workshop.

Shockwave technology is also available on selected 4 post Rotary hoists on indent order.

Between the technology of the Rotary brand and the competitive pricing of the Summit brand, Precision Equipment has a comprehensive selection of everything a workshop might need in terms of hoists, aligners, changers, balancers and accessory items for the service and repair of cars, vans, light and heavy commercial vehicles.     

As a workshop owner/manager of course, you’ll want to see the goods before you order them and that being the case, Cory and the sales team of Jase, Simon and Nick invite you to call in to the Precision Equipment showroom; conveniently located near Auckland’s airport.
