The best motorcycle lift for you!

Written by Mark Rosser on . Posted in Uncategorized. No Comments on The best motorcycle lift for you!

Choosing the best motorcycle lift depends on several factors, such as the type of motorcycle you have, your budget, and the lift’s intended use. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind:

Weight capacity

The lift you choose should have a weight capacity that is higher than the weight of your motorcycle. Make sure you know the weight of your bike before purchasing a lift.

Type of lift

There are several types of lifts available, including hydraulic lifts, air lifts, and scissor lifts. Hydraulic lifts are the most common and are known for their stability, while air lifts are easier to maneuver. Scissor lifts are portable and compact.

Size of lift

The size of the lift should be appropriate for your motorcycle. You don’t want a lift that is too small or too large, as this can lead to stability issues.

Durability

Look for a lift that is made from high-quality materials and is built to last. You want a lift that can withstand the weight of your motorcycle and can handle frequent use.

Safety features

Make sure the lift you choose has safety features such as locking mechanisms and non-slip surfaces. This will help ensure that your motorcycle stays securely in place while you are working on it.

Value

Motorcycle lifts can range in price from a few hundred pounds to several thousand pounds. Consider your budget when choosing a lift, but keep in mind that investing in a high-quality lift can save you money in the long run.

Reviews

Finally, read reviews from other motorcycle enthusiasts to get an idea of the pros and cons of different lifts. This can help you make an informed decision and choose the best lift for your needs.

The Fire Safety Stick – Is this the world’s cleanest fire extinguisher?

Written by Mark Rosser on . Posted in Uncategorized. No Comments on The Fire Safety Stick – Is this the world’s cleanest fire extinguisher?

Fire Safety Stick – everybody’s talking about it and now buying it! A user friendly, mess-free fire fighting aid with widest range of applications. At the fraction of cost of a regular extinguisher.

Fire Extinguishers haven’t changed much since their invention. Traditionally a large, heavy  and cumbersome cylinder that, when used, can often leave a damaging mess that can be very difficult to clear up. Now the Fire Safety Stick presents a safe method to put out fires quickly and efficiently and at a fraction of the costs.

The Fire Safety Stick causes no damage or messy residue. Fire Safety Stick uses a tested and proven technology, created and developed for the space programme, that fights fires on its molecular level. By chemically interrupting the chain of combustion, Fire Safety Stick safely and effectively puts out fires without the mess, toxicity, or danger associated with a traditional extinguisher.

PLUS, unlike traditional extinguishers, it can even be left in an enclosed area to continue to suppress the fire whilst the occupants have escaped to safety. Since the Fire Safety Stick’s discharge time is many times longer than that of a conventional compact extinguisher it’s ideal when used to aid a safe escape.

MORE WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT FOR LESS

Written by MikeD on . Posted in Uncategorized. No Comments on MORE WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT FOR LESS

Until 31 March 2023, businesses investing in qualifying assets will benefit from up to 130% first-year capital allowance.

This allows businesses to deduct the full value of qualifying assets from profits before tax. The full tax relief is received in the year assets are purchased rather than over several years, therefore reducing the tax liability.

This measure will provide significantly faster tax relief for qualifying investments up to £1 million, helping businesses to invest and grow.

For example, under the new rules: If taxable profits pre-investments are £200,000, and a business invests £100,000 in qualifying new vehicles, plant. or machinery, they will be entitled to claim in that year a capital allowance of £130,000, a saving of £112,000 compared to current rules.*

You can still ease your cashflow and take advantage of this scheme by financing the Asset via a Hire Purchase Agreement. The extension in AIA will apply to qualifying expenditure on vehicles, equipment, machinery, and other assets a business needs from 1 April 2021 (dependent on a business’s chargeable period).

* CLICK HERE For more information on this allowance from HM Revenue & Customs, refer to their website: www.gov.uk or contact your Accountant who can discuss your individual requirements with you. 

Motorcycle Workshop Equipment – Price over service?

Written by MikeD on . Posted in MOTORCYCLE WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT, Uncategorized. No Comments on Motorcycle Workshop Equipment – Price over service?

It’s fairly easy to identify good design, quality components and materials. Judging what represents good service can be a little more tricky…

A brief guide to good customer service – during and after sales…

Aside from researching on line recommendation (which may or may not be genuine),

  • Referrals and recommendations from professionals, friends and users
  • Talk and listen to the person offering the service (are they reading from a script)
  • Ask difficult questions
  • Can they offer alternatives, or do they ask pertinent questions of you?
  • Do they have any negative feedback?
  • Do they have a proven track record?
  • Are they pushy?

Easy Ride-on Mower maintenance

Written by MikeD on . Posted in Uncategorized. No Comments on Easy Ride-on Mower maintenance

The suggestion that an investment in a electro hydraulic lift specifically for our ride-on mowers and quads was met by some as an extravagance.

Five months on and what a difference a scissor lift can make. We no longer stretch out routine maintenance. Now we simply ride on to our trusty FML1000 lift press the remote control to raise it to an optimum work height and get on with it. This workbench allows easy access to most parts, even the cutting deck can be accessed through a drop our section. with a variety of mowers to service, the large stable deck provides ample space to place tools and parts within comfortable reach.

  • Lifts up to 1000kg / I ton
  • Deck 1.3m wide by 2.3m long
  • Lifting capability >95cm
  • Cable operated remote control
  • Two hydraulic rams
  • Italian design and manufacture
  • CE certified
  • Makes working on capital equipment easier, safer, more efficient and technicians’ work less arduous.

While the cost of this robust piece of workshop equipment may have cost a bit more more than equivalents from the far east there is no comparison in quality. Also we have the peace of mind in being able to deal with a company that supports this and other lifts in the ground care range.

Win, win – my advice don’t wait too long to add one to your workshop!
