JHM Butt range gives workshops a winter boost
Equipment provider JHM Butt has emphasised the importance of winter preparation for workshops, to help safeguard against vehicle downtime.
“It’s the season that puts batteries, vehicles, and technicians to the test, demanding reliable tools and robust solutions to keep fleets moving,” said the company.
“From heavy-duty booster packs and diagnostic testers to specialised EV lifting tables, having the right equipment in place ensures workshops can overcome cold-weather challenges today while preparing for the electric future tomorrow.
“Winter doesn’t have to slow you down and leave vehicles out-of-use. As the temperature drops, you need a battery booster you can rely on, and that’s where the SOS Booster Pack 12v 2400CA comes in.”
“Trusted by workshops, garages, and recovery fleets across the UK, these heavy-duty 12V units deliver power when it matters most, starting vans, trucks, buses, and even plant machinery, with or without a battery.
“Built with rugged Radaflex cables that stay flexible in freezing conditions, aerospace-grade AGM batteries and safety features such as reverse polarity alerts, the SOS Booster is engineered for dependable starts in the harshest weather. You even get a lifetime warranty on the case, it’s that good.”
What sets the SOS Booster Pack 12v 2400CA apart is its durability and consistency, says the company.
“Even in the most demanding conditions, the high cranking power ensures fast, reliable starts on the first attempt, keeping workshops running smoothly.
“Put simply, this booster pack is the most sturdy and reliable you’re going to find.”
Also available from JHM Butt is the Digital Battery & Alternator Tester BT2003, said to provide instant, accurate diagnostics.
“Designed for professional use, it tests 6/12/24V systems, even with as little as 1V of residual charge, without heat, sparks, or complex setup,” said the company.
“With simple LCD prompts and a built-in printer for test result tracking, it quickly checks battery health and alternator performance under load. Supplied in a rugged carry case with accessories and spare paper rolls, it’s the ideal tool for reliable, on-the-spot diagnostics in cold-weather conditions.
“This tester doesn’t just identify problems, it helps prevent them. By offering clear, printed records of battery and alternator performance, workshops can provide customers with transparent evidence of their vehicle’s condition. That not only builds trust but also creates opportunities for additional servicing work.
“Easy to use and highly portable, it’s a tool that speeds up diagnostics, boosts technician confidence, and enhances overall workshop professionalism.”
As more fleets move toward electric vans and trucks, says JHM Butt, workshops need equipment that can handle the size, weight, and precision demands of commercial EV servicing.
“The Mobile EV Lifting Table with Tilt (1.5 Ton Capacity) is built for exactly that, providing a heavy-duty, mobile solution for safely lifting and positioning large EV battery packs, engines, gearboxes, and chassis components.
“The Mobile EV Lifting Table delivers the perfect balance of strength, stability, and control for demanding workshop environments. Its hydraulic foot-pedal lift ensures smooth, reliable movement, while the ±3° tilting function and lateral adjustment make it easy to align heavy battery packs with precision.
“The extendable platform and threaded housings allow custom configurations for different vehicle types, giving you the flexibility to handle everything from electric LCVs to full-size HGVs with confidence.
“With large wheels for easy positioning, an extendable handle for reach, and a safety lock to prevent accidental lowering, it’s built to handle tough jobs efficiently and safely.”
The company adds that its service goes beyond supply.
“With a nationwide team of expert engineers, we offer on-site training and support to ensure your staff are confident and fully equipped to use our tools and equipment safely and effectively.
“Whether it’s initial setup, hands-on demonstrations, or ongoing guidance, our team is here to help you get the most out of your investment.
“When Hull & Bradford College needed more than a simple installation of ADAS and alignment systems, JHM Butt provided bespoke on-site training. We provide this across the nation, and can provide tailored training on any products mentioned above. Buying the equipment isn’t worth it, if you can’t maximise its capabilities, which is where we come in.
“This training gave the college’s technicians the skills to operate the equipment confidently from the start, rather than just relying on basic instructions. The tailored sessions helped staff make full use of the systems from day one and ensured the new equipment quickly became a valuable part of their workshop.”
