rtA NEW method of installing lubricating and associated plant in garages to achieve a smart appearance has been evolved by Tecalernit, Ltd., Plymouth. Containers, hose reels and pumps are concealed behind a large screen, known as a Wallspan facia panel, from the front of which the various hoses can be withdrawn.
The screen can be erected in a garage without unduly disturbing the existing walls and other structural features. Greasing, oiling and water-supply equipment can be installed individually or grouped. Panels accommodating the hose outlets, meters and drip trays have chromium-plated surrounds.
An electric four-post hoist has been introduced by the company. The lifting height is 5 ft. 6 in., a generous dirndlsion which would allow a small vehicle to be parked under the raised one, thus making full use of floor space. •
Controls are placed on the lifting column and are weather-proofed to permit outdoor installation. Lifting is by screw drive and cables. Many safety devices are incorporated.
Ono track can be moved laterally, to suit the vehicle to be raised, from adjacent to the fixed track to 5 ft. 9+ in. away. The level area of thetracks is 14 ft. 10 in. long. Overall length of the hoist is 16 ft. 7,1in. Capacity is 3 tons.
