Workshop equipment specialist Totalkare says it is thrilled that Wrightbus has chosen its T8DC cable-free mobile column lifts for its new NewPower facility in Bicester, Oxfordshire. The investment includes six sets of Totalkare’s mobile column lifts, integral to the new facility’s mission to transform older diesel buses into zero-emission electric vehicles.

Manufacturing Engineer at Wrightbus Karsten Hall expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with Totalkare: “We are delighted to integrate Totalkare’s T8DC cable-free mobile column lifts into our NewPower facility.

These lifts are not only pivotal to the re-powering process but also reflect the superior quality and reliability we have come to expect from Totalkare. As a returning customer, we value their exceptional equipment and unwavering service support. The T8DC lifts will play a crucial role in enabling our teams to efficiently convert buses to electric powertrains, thus accelerating our journey towards a greener future.”

UK Sales Manager at Totalkare Jay Chauhan commented: “We are excited to support Wrightbus in its innovative NewPower project. Our T8DC cable-free mobile column lifts are designed for versatility and efficiency, providing unparalleled ease of use and safety. It is an honour to be part of Wrightbus’s bold initiative to decarbonise the transport sector, and we look forward to contributing to its continued success and sustainability efforts.”

Complementing the mobile column lifts is a mobile brake tester, also supplied by Totalkare. DVSA-approved, it is capable of testing up to a 16,000kg axle load.
