Farrall’s Group using Totalkare for workshop equipment

Logistics and transportation company, Farrall’s Group, has invested in its fleet maintenance capabilities by acquiring the Totalkare TK70 In-Ground Brake Tester and T8DC Mobile Column Lifts.

This move is expected to transform the British company’s maintenance processes, ensuring optimal safety and efficiency across its entire fleet.

Totalkare’s in-ground brake tester will allow Farrall’s Group to assess the braking efficiency of its vehicles. The system utilises advanced technology to simulate real-world braking conditions, providing mechanics with precise data on braking performance.

By identifying any potential issues early on, Farrall’s Group can proactively address maintenance needs, reducing downtime and preventing costly breakdowns.

The enhanced brake testing capabilities will enable the company to meet and surpass industry safety standards, guaranteeing the wellbeing of its drivers and other road users.

Alongside the In-ground brake tester, Farrall’s Group also invested in Totalkare’s groundworks service, enabling it to deal with a single point of contact for the full installation.

The In-ground brake tester is also covered by a Totalkare service contract, which includes two routine service and calibration visits from a field service engineer each year.

The addition of Totalkare’s T8DC mobile column lifts will streamline Farrall’s Group’s in-house maintenance processes, allowing mechanics to efficiently carry out inspections and repairs.

The lifts’ portability means they can be easily transported to different locations, optimising operational efficiency and minimising downtime. This will translate to cost savings for the company and an increase in overall fleet productivity.

Capable of lifting up to 7,500kg per column, the T8DC column lifts can be used in configurations of four, six or eight columns, and feature adjustable forks to accommodate a range of wheel diameters.
