Truck and Track Winter 2023

Truck and Track Winter 2023 www.truckandtrack.com 56 WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT Full-service transport provider Grange Travel has recently opened its new workshop with equipment from industry experts Totalkare, including an in-ground brake tester, a set of six T8DC mobile column lifts, a hydraulic press, a headlight tester, and a set of eight axle stands. Kent-based Grange Travel Coach Hire Ltd is a private and contract passenger transport provider with a fleet of 60 executive coaches and minibuses. With an increased demand for local, national, and European travel, the business identified the need for quality workshop equipment to ensure the safety, efficiency, and reliability of their vehicles and to reduce the cost of outsourcing essential services. Alongside caring for its sizable fleet, Grange Travel is also an agent for Daimler bus and coach and will use the new workshop to maintain vehicles for other operators. Grange Travel’s new in-ground brake tester offers a highly accurate and efficient way to test the braking systems of its vehicles in-house. With an 18,000kg axle load, the brake tester is suited to test any vehicle in the fleet. The DVSA-approved tablet interface system also requires only one technician to complete the test.
