Grange Travel recently opened its new workshop, kitted out with equipment from Totalkare, including an in-ground brake tester, a set of six T8DC mobile column lifts, a hydraulic press, a headlight tester, and a set of eight axle stands. The Kent-based operator provides private hire and contract transport with its fleet of 60 coaches and minibuses. With an increase demand for local, national and European travel, the business said it chose to invest in quality workshop equipment to ensure the safety, efficiency, and reliability of its vehicles and to reduce the cost of outsourcing essential services. Alongside caring for its own fleet, Grange Travel is also an agent for Daimler Bus & Coach and will use the new workshop to maintain vehicles for other operators.
Commenting on the installation, Managing Director Bryan Smith said: “We are excited to have Totalkare equipment in our new workshop. Having lifting and testing equipment in house is a game-changer and Totalkare’s products and comprehensive service contract provide us with peace of mind, knowing that ours and our customers vehicles are in safe hands.”
James Atkins, UK Key Account Manager for Totalkare, added “We are pleased that the installation of equipment for Grange Travel is already having a positive impact. The premium equipment is being supported by a Totalkare service contract to keep everything compliant and running smoothly.”
