Fight Fires Using the Proper Fire Extinguisher
It would be difficult for a body shop or mechanical shop to survive long without readily accessible firefighting equipment. But when a blaze breaks out, just any old fire extinguisher won’t do. Fires that erupt in auto repair facilities are most often solvent-based fires which extinguish best with dry chemical. In this article you’ll find a summary of various types of fires and the most effective fire extinguisher for each type fire.
GoJak Dollies Lift and Carry Crashed Cars Easily
GoJak® is an automotive tool no body shop should be without. Simply put, GoJak® allows disabled or crashed cars to be moved with ease – each tire riding on a dolly made maneuverable by four casters. Connecticut bodyman, Al Coccaro, inventor of GoJak® calls it “the faster caster system.” What makes GoJak® fast and separates it from other tire dollies is the built-in bi-directional linear foot-action ratchet that jacks a car off the ground allowing it to be moved on the dollies in any direction - even sideways - to improve body shop traffic flow.
Waste Oil Heaters Warm Auto Repair Shops Cost Effectively
When money is tight for auto repair shops and dealerships it makes little sense to pay for removal of waste oil that could be used as a source of heat. Waste oil furnaces not only save shops money on Winter heating bills, they are great tools to assist shops in recycling efforts. It has been said a waste oil heater will provide a return on investment (ROI) unmatched by most other tools and equipment found in an auto repair shop or body shop.
