Garage Essentials<\/a>\u00a0equipment team to consider the options available to them. Dally Singh is Garage Essentials\u2019 workshop specialist for the northern area and he engaged the expertise of Ian Blackett of Tecalemit Garage Equipment to provide them a suitable solution.<\/p>\nDally and Ian arranged to meet with Steve on-site to survey the building and gain an understanding of the requirements of the SD Autotech team. It became apparent that the area within the building that had been identified as a potentially suitable location had a challenge in the form of a considerable gradient in the floor. However, Ian has over thirty years of experience in creating MOT bays for both new and existing buildings and has come across most challenges during this time.<\/p>\n
To help make the most appropriate use of their space a recessed 4-post lift was proposed. This enabled the Roller Brake Tester to be situated closer to the vehicle lift which, in this recessed arrangement, would allow it to double up as part of the brake test standing area as it met the level requirements of +\/- 10mm. To address the issue of the gradient in the floor, the recess would be created to produce a raised area as the floor drops away. At the drive-on end of the lift, the floor would then be level with the top of the recess. At the opposite end, the built-up area would create a recess and meet the minimum DVSA dimensions for the overall bay width.<\/p>\n
Ian produced a layout drawing and assisted Steve with the completion of the VT01 application form and, with agreement in principle obtained, the civil works commenced. Ian coordinated with the builders throughout to civil works to ensure that they adhered to DVSA authorised dimensions. It may seem complicated, but these photographs of the finished product demonstrate clearly how their floor gradient issue was overcome.<\/p>\n
With their new Tecalemit Class IV MOT bay operational, we wish Steve and his team at SD Autotech every success with their improved customer proposition.<\/p>\n
