Totalkare equipment improves safety and uptime at Green Metro Coaches
Green Metro Coaches, which runs nearly 300 vehicles ranging from four-seater saloons to 53-seater coaches, has invested in a comprehensive suite of Totalkare workshop solutions including the G9DC mobile column lifts, high-capacity axle stands, a mobile brake tester, a tyre changer, a headlamp tester, a diesel smoke meter, and an energy efficient compressor.
Together, the equipment strengthen safety processes, improve turnaround times, and support the company’s commitment to dependable, UK-wide passenger transport.
Totalkare, said the package supplied to Green Metro Coaches gives them “precision tools built for demanding environments and fast operational tempo”.
From the wireless G9DC mobile column lifts, capable of lifting 8,000kg per column, to the DVSA approved headlamp tester and Euro 6 accredited diesel smoke metre, every item is designed to enhance safety and streamline workshop productivity.
For large fleets like Green Metro Coaches, workshop efficiency directly affects service reliability. The G9DC lifting system requires no installation or groundwork and can be configured with up to 48 columns, allowing technicians to carry out underbody work rapidly across a wide variety of vehicle sizes.
Adjustable wheel forks, galvanised construction for long term protection, and wireless communication further improve day-to-day usability.
Axle stands with capacities up to 7,500kg help maintain safe working conditions, especially when technicians are handling tall or short vehicles with varying clearance requirements.
The mobile brake tester provides automatic axle weighing, diagnostic printouts, optional tachograph calibration, axle load simulation, and a handheld tablet interface, enabling accurate testing for any vehicle in the fleet with wheelbases up to 4,000mm.
Additional equipment including the quick-loading tyre changer with its 30-second mount and dismount performance, DVSA approved headlamp tester with laser alignment, Euro 6 compliant diesel smoke meter designed to work in temperatures down to minus 15 degrees, and a plug-and-play compressor that delivers quieter operation and reduced power consumption give the workshop a full ecosystem built for high-volume, high-pressure fleet maintenance.
The investment reflects a broader trend in the heavy-vehicle sector where operators are seeking integrated, future-ready workshop solutions that support both compliance and efficiency. For Green Metro Coaches, the upgrade strengthens its ability to provide reliable transport across the UK while managing operational costs and maintaining strict safety standards.
