Winning smart cart This durable, lightweight, high-capacity cart allows tyre fitters to manoeuvre heavy wheel sets in the most ergonomic way with the help of its patented tilting system. The robot-welded, powder-coated steel Winntec cart has been developed with some of Europe’s leading tyre service chains. The carts have a unique push-slide-secure automatic locking system that eliminates the need for foot-operated or hand-controlled jaws that are wear sensitive. The light yellow-coloured, foam-filled tyres are maintenance free and leave no tracks on the workshop floor. Weighing just 20kg, the Winntec cart handles most car and SUV wheelsets from 14-inch to 20-inch, up to 200kg, and has a three-year warranty. Available from Treadway Equipped, call 0800 436 436, or see treadwayequipped.co.nz.

They are made from powdercoated, workshop-grade steel panels mounted on a reinforced steel frame body, with solid aluminium handles. Gas struts on the tool chests keep lids under control. The drawers roll open on heavy-duty ball bearings, and the trolleys roll on lockable castors. See chicanetools.co.nz for stockists and pricing.
