Totalkare lifting and testing equipment upgrade for SLJ Commercials

SLJ Commercials has significantly enhanced its workshop capabilities with the acquisition of a comprehensive range of Totalkare lifting and testing equipment.

The investment enables the Essex-based business to provide faster, safer and more efficient service for its commercial vehicle customers.

The upgrade includes a set of four T8AC cabled mobile column lifts, paired with tall and short axle support stands, providing versatile and high-capacity lifting solutions for a wide range of commercial vehicles.

This equipment allows SLJ Commercials’ technicians to safely and efficiently work on heavy vehicles, improving workflow and minimising vehicle downtime.

To strengthen compliance and in-house testing capabilities, the company has installed an in-ground brake tester with integrated load simulation. The load simulation system replicates fully laden conditions on each axle during testing, ensuring accurate brake performance results while meeting current legislative requirements.

By testing under simulated loads, SLJ Commercials can now deliver more reliable and precise brake assessments, reduce reliance on external testing facilities, and achieve faster turnaround for fleet customers.

Totalkare also completed the necessary groundworks to ensure the brake tester was installed safely and efficiently.

Additional equipment includes a 500kg capacity wheel dolly for safe and easy wheel movement, and a headlamp tester to ensure accurate beam alignment. Together, these systems allow SLJ Commercials to offer a fully integrated, high-quality service under one roof.

SLJ Commercials said the new equipment from Totalkare has “transformed” its workshop.
