All You Need to Know About Redback

Garage equipment is expensive. Tyre changers, wheel balancers, lifts… you name it, it costs a lot to invest in any of the crucial equipment needed to operate a garage. But there are brands out there that continue to challenge the norm and offer more for less. One of those brands is Redback, which has become the industry’s go-to budget equipment supplier here in the UK.

Redback products first hit the market back in 2005, and have since established themselves as the ideal solution for lower volume users or ‘first-timers’. Today, the factory boasts 870 employees and four production facilities spanning 160,000 square metres. These factories produce between 6,000 and 8,000 products every month and export to 99 countries, of which the UK is (we are proud to say) one of the most successful.

Want to learn more about the brand and what it has to offer? That’s exactly what we’re about to cover.

A proven track record

Redback isn’t just about low prices. It invests heavily in research and development, continually revising its products to ensure they deliver maximum bang for your buck. With a team of over 120 R&D specialists, Redback is serious about the quality of its products.

In 2019, it introduced an upgraded range packed full of new features; the 202 tyre changer featured an improved clamping range, for example, allowing it to support rims up to 24” in diameter.

At Tyre Bay Direct, we’ve stocked Redback products for over a decade now and have had tonnes of positive feedback from customers.

Unbeatable value

No other manufacturer offers such a winning blend of quality, features and affordability. With Redback, you don’t have to forego advanced features; the brand still produces fully automatic tyre changers and two-post lifts with electric locks, for example.

And, although its machinery isn’t as tough and sophisticated as the likes of Atlas Platinum and Hofmann Megaplan, it still stands the test of time. Redback products are ideal for less frequent use. Say you want to begin offering tyre changing and wheel balancing services, but it’s not something you anticipate being your bread and butter. Redback equipment would be the perfect solution.

Comprehensive range

Redback’s range of products is just as vast as many higher-end brands. Its product line ranges from extremely affordable, entry-level models to more advanced, full-featured versions, with tyre changers, wheel balancers, two-post and scissor lifts available.

In summary, Redback is the nation’s go-to budget garage equipment supplier for a reason. Well, several. Its products are stout, effective and represent exceptional value – and they’re easy to get hold of! We stock the full range here at Tyre Bay Direct, with Pay in 3 available to help you spread out the cost of your order.

Redback is the new Unite, ready to LIFT your 2020!

RB3000 Scissor Lift

A new decade requires new vehicle lifting solutions and Tyre Bay Direct now offers the best budget-friendly lifts available in the UK market!

The once-revered Unite brand is well known among the more budget-conscious end of the tyre trade and in 2019 it received a Redback facelift in preparation for the new decade.

The Redback by Unite brand is sold exclusively by Tyre Bay Direct, who are renowned as the one-stop-shop for garage equipment & tyre shop essentials in the United Kingdom and across Europe.

They are the favoured supplier for many of essential wheel weights, tyre values and pastes, but are also making waves with their Redback range, as well as being choice distributors for Atlas Equipment and Hofmann Megaplan.

A slick lifting solution with a solid price point.

The update is now in full fruition, as Redback by Unite increased its product range throughout January, introducing a no thrills, budget vehicle lift range in the sleek Redback by Unite brand colours.

Redback RB4000 Two Post Vehicle Lift with Electric Locks

The RB3000 is a Full Rise Surface Mounted Scissor Lift with an ultra-thin minimum height of 105mm. This is a scissor lift designed to handle the pressures of everyday garage use without the associated cost of many market-leading solutions.

Alongside the RB3000 Scissor lift, Tyre Bay Direct has also introduced the Redback RB4000 Two Post Vehicle Lift with Electric Locks. Again, this is a solution in keeping with the Redback by Unite target audience expectation of budget-friendly, but that doesn’t mean its light on features. It has also seen massive take up in the French market!

Extras like car door and foot protection, alongside an Aluminium motor, Two-stage arms and Adjustable lifting pads to three heights on the RB4000 make this an extremely capable lift.

The updated Redback by Unite range is available to view and purchase online at www.tyrebaydirect.com or by calling 01527 883 580.

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!
