Motorcycle Workshop Equipment

Motorbike maintenance is not only important to the health and safety of all riders, but also other road users. Whether you’re a motorbike technician fixing a puncture in a motorcycle workshop, or are a keen mechanical enthusiast working on a motorcycle exhaust in a private garage, the tools and equipment used to carry out motorcycle diagnostic repairs and maintenance can make all the difference to the quality of the job, and your overall working experience.

 In this article we look at some of the motorcycle maintenance equipment available to professional and private workshops and garages in the UK.

Hand Sanitiser Dispenser Unit
Following the Coronavirus pandemic, facilities where people work, shop, play or study should have the right personal protection equipment (PPE) in place to ensure the health and safety of employees and customers.

Hand sanitation gel, plus safety wear like gloves and masks should now be supplied to ensure adequate hygiene, like the automatic hand sanitiser dispenser unit manufactured by ‘LV8 – ELEVATE’ for example; these units are helping people stay safe in motorcycle workshops around the UK. Equipped with an infrared gel dispenser, gloves holder, masks support and touchless waste bin, this PPE device follows all the safety standards and does not have any handles or parts where a user may come into direct contact with the dispenser.

Hydraulic Motorcycle Lifting Equipment

To ensure your hydraulic motorcycle lifting equipment meets your budget and workshop requirements, it is important to research the type of motorcycle scissor lift your garage needs before investing in a reliable and durable model. Hydraulic motorcycle lifts need both hydraulic fluid and compressed air to operate, but they require extraordinarily little effort to manually operate and balance a motorcycle. The compressed air aids in elevating the motorcycle lift, while the hydraulic fluid aids in the smooth operating motion.

The motorbike scissor lifts name refers to its overall look and design. The lifting action and mechanism have a scissor type operation and movement which look like a pair of scissors. Mechanical bike lifts are exactly that, operated manually by handles and can be manoeuvred in to both a low and raised position.
