American Two Post Lifts redesigned for the UK & European garage equipment market!

Over the years, Tyre Bay Direct has been lucky enough to build strong relationships with different suppliers from across the industry, to bring you one of the most comprehensive offerings for any fast fit tyre shop or tyre bay.

In fact, we don’t think there is such a diverse range of budget-friendly to premium tyre machines, or price conscious consumables range, anywhere else in the market!

And it’s down to these relationships that we can continue to grow our product offering, introducing brand new equipment that is exclusive to the ISN Garage Assist garage equipment group.

Championed electro-hydraulic lifts…

It is well-known across the world, that the Americans perfected the use of the electro-hydraulic lifts; brands such as Atlas Auto Equipment, known for quality tyre fitting equipment at affordable prices, have continued the development of vehicle lifting equipment.

The US market has always been renowned for dealing with bigger vehicles, consequently, the market demands high quality and robust garage lifting equipment to deal with such vehicles. Therefore, Atlas has been developing car lifts to deal with heavy lifting operations since its inception in 1982, making their brand one of the most respected and trusted vehicle lift suppliers in the US and now, the UK.

Raising their game for the UK…

Atlas Equipment has been a go-to supplier of garage equipment for Tyre Bay Direct, and we now bring to you the brand-new ATP9 and ATP10 Two Post Lift models.

Browse our brand-new Atlas lifts on our website now:

Built for heavy-duty vehicles typical of the US market, the ATP10 European version of an American classic rightly carries the category of ‘Super-Duty’ in terms of its build quality, capability and 5500kg lifting capacity.

Both lifts come with delivery and installation with 2 years parts and labour warranty.

The magic formula to picking your new wheel balancer!

Many of us are not contemplating a new investment in terms of the return it will bring, only considering the cost required to offer the service.

Relating this to balancing, each garage will have their own thoughts on the subject, as everyone’s balancing equipment requirements are different – as is the potential revenue.

How long before your wheel balancer makes you money?WB49 2D Balancer

Knowing the answer to this means knowing how long it will take to earn a return on your investment!

Take this basic sum:

Cost of balancer / (Cost charged per balance*Average number of balances completed a week) = Number of weeks to pay off your balancer

From there it’s all profit! If you are starting out from scratch, projecting realistic numbers could help you adjust your charge & ensure your business is sustainable.

Every time you complete a tyre fitting job with a tyre changer, a wheel balancer is required to perform the balancing service for that complete customer service so you can take the number of wheels you expect to fit as the average number of balances completed a week.

Ensure you are upselling balancing correctly to the customer as an essential service for safe driving as part of all tyre fitting.

Let’s put that into perspective…

If you are performing at least one balancing job per day and say you purchase a mid-range wheel balancer from our Tyre Bay Direct product range e.g. the Atlas WB49 Wheel Balancer at £1,195 + VAT, it will only take you ONE MONTH for every job to then become pure profit!

WOW.

Our range of Wheel Balancers – discover the perfect tyre changing companion!

You could work the return out for the week, month or even days based on the frequency you fit and balance tyres.

So, if you are holding back on purchasing a brand-new wheel balancer for your garage services because you are unsure of the benefit, then don’t worry, we have a wheel balancer for every budget in mind & are happy to calculate the return on investment with you!

[ux_products ids=”5620,26415,20262,10858,14437″]

The result!

Your garage’s tyre fitting services are tangible and bringing in enough business easily helps calculate the return your equipment is giving you. This is an approach we’ve seen make many a garage successful!
