Case study: Totalkare

Motus Truck & Van service centre gets Totalkare Y-MECH

Mercedes-Benz dealer Motus Truck & Van has partnered with workshop equipment experts Totalkare for the supply of vehicle lifting equipment for its new truck and van service and parts centre in Witham, Essex.

The commercial vehicle specialist provides new and used sales and servicing for Mercedes-Benz vans and trucks across the south-east and East Anglia. Its new 2,500sq m facility in Witham features nine full-length truck and trailer bays with eight more available for van maintenance and repair.

Completing the facility, Motus Truck & Van has created a dedicated, external vehicle wash bay area finished with a fully galvanised Y-MECH lift from Totalkare that is purpose-built for vehicle wash applications.

Available in platform lengths from 6m to 13m and with a range of lifting capacities from 25,000kg to 35,000kg, the Y-MECH provides optimal working space around the lift for the maintenance, repair and under-chassis washing of heavy-duty vehicles. It can be surface- or recess-mounted to suit requirements and features mechanical safety latches and rollover/ roll back protection to guarantee maximum safety.

Motus Truck & Van’s Y-MECH lift features a 13m platform length and 35,000kg lifting capacity, with lighting installed for increased visibility underneath the vehicle. Totalkare will support the lift with a service contract that includes two field service engineer visits a year.

Motus Truck & Van head of aftersales Paul Smith said: “Our new truck and van service centre is a flagship development of which we’re all very proud. Under-chassis washing of vehicles is not only crucial ahead of MoT testing but makes maintenance and repair tasks more pleasant for our workshop operatives, and Totalkare’s Y-MECH is the ideal solution for this.”

Brian Young, national accounts manager at Totalkare, said: “Totalkare has been supporting Motus Truck & Van for many years with a variety of vehicle lifting and testing equipment, and we’re delighted to have supplied and installed this Y-MECH lift as part of its fantastic new site in Witham.”
