VEHICLE LIFTING SOLUTIONS FOR WASH BAYS

Workshop equipment experts Totalkare offer a range of vehicle lifting solutions to suit almost any wash bay requirement:

 

Galvanised Y-MECH Lift

The Y-MECH lift from Totalkare is uniquely designed to provide extraordinary freedom of movement, and is the ideal solution where a fixed position for lifting operations is needed and the flexibility of mobile vehicle lifts is not required. The four independent support legs provide an optimal working space around the lift for the maintenance and repair of heavy duty vehicles.

 

The Y-MECH Lift is available as surface or recessed mounted and is available in different drive on/drive off options. It can also be supplied fully galvanised which can be used in external washbay applications. Depending on the option chosen, the Y-MECH Lift has a lifting capacity ranging from 25,000kg – 35,000kg and a maximum platform length 14.5m.

 

• Available as fully galvanised equipment for long term protection from water ingress

• Platform lengths 6 to 14.5 metres

• Range of weight capacities available from 25,000kg to 35,000kg

• Can be surface or recess mounted
