Dealing with immobilised vehicles is a daily challenge for many workshops. Whether it’s an electric vehicle with no power or a traditional vehicle that has broken down, moving these cars can be time-consuming and labour-intensive. Traditional methods often involve multiple technicians using outdated tools like go jacks or skates, requiring significant effort just to shift a vehicle into the workshop.
CarMover changes all that. Designed to streamline vehicle handling, this essential tool offers a faster, safer, and more efficient way to move immobilised cars, saving both time and resources.
Why CarMover is the Solution
CarMover is packed with features that make it an indispensable tool for any workshop:
- Electric Motor: No manual pushing or heavy lifting required. CarMover’s electric motor easily moves vehicles up to 4 tonne.
- Hydraulic Lift: Securely lifts the front wheels of immobilised vehicles, allowing for precise manoeuvring.
- Compact and Efficient: Its design allows it to fit into tight spaces, making it ideal for workshops of all sizes.
- Reduces Technician Involvement: Instead of needing 6-7 technicians, just one can handle CarMover, freeing up your team for other tasks.
By reducing the physical strain on your team and speeding up the process of moving vehicles, CarMover quickly becomes a workshop essential.
Health and Safety: Preventing Workplace Injuries
Manually pushing heavy, immobilised vehicles can lead to serious injuries, as seen in a recent case where staff were injured attempting to move a vehicle without the right equipment.
CarMover prevents these risks by allowing one or two technicians to safely manoeuvre vehicles without physical strain. Its electric motor and hydraulic lift do the heavy lifting, reducing the chance of injury. For workshops prioritising safety, the CarMover is essential for reducing accidents and keeping both technicians and vehicles safe.
Real Results from the Workshop
At Mercedes-Benz of West London, technicians have seen first-hand the impact of CarMover. According to John, the workshop managers, “The CarMover has transformed the way we handle immobilised vehicles on site. We’ve saved an average of 15 to 20 minutes per breakdown, and productivity has increased by about an hour per job.”
Before CarMover, moving a car could involve 6-7 people pushing and pulling to get it into position. Now, as Keith, a senior technician explains, “I can do it all by myself with the CarMover. It saves us a lot of time and effort.”
This tool not only makes the process easier for technicians but also improves the professional image of the workshop. Customers see their vehicles being moved smoothly and efficiently, rather than watching a team struggle to push their car around.
Easy Integration and Quick Training
One of the CarMover’s greatest strengths is how easy it is to integrate into your workshop. The training process is quick, and within an hour, your technicians can be fully trained and confident in using the equipment. According to John, “The training was really simple. Once the CarMover arrived, each technician was fully trained on how to use it safely and confidently within an hour.”
Whether your workshop is large or small, the CarMover fits right in, providing immediate benefits without complicated setup or lengthy training sessions.
CarMover: Standard vs. XL – What Sets Them Apart
In addition to the standard CarMover, there’s also the CarMover XL, designed for moving larger vehicles up to 3 tonne with a wheelbase of up to 3 metres. The XL model is ideal for handling vehicles with all four wheels locked, making it essential for workshops dealing with immobilised vehicles that can’t be towed.
The CarMover XL offers enhanced precision in tight spaces, with a 3-metre turning radius, making it perfect for confined areas such as body shops and warehouses. For workshops that require greater control over larger vehicles, the XL model delivers the added capability and flexibility needed for these more demanding jobs.
