MAHA UK to
launch new
mobile column
lifts at Road
Transport Expo
MAHA UK, the premium workshop equipment
provider, will officially unveil the C_RGA
mobile column lift at Road Transport Expo,
taking place between the 4th and 6th June at
Stoneleigh (stand G45). Billed the “one stop
industry event” for truck professionals and
enthusiasts, the workshop equipment provider
is confident the show will be the perfect
launchpad for a lift that includes a lithium-ion
battery as standard for the first time.
Afour-person strong team – Neil Ebbs, MAHA UK’s managing
director, and sales team of Louis Tunmore, Luke Fuller and
new recruit, James Thompson – will highlight the bespoke
features and credentials of the C_RGA mobile column lifts, available
in both 7.5t and 8.5t formats, during the three days.
Additionally, a vast array of DVSA-approved equipment – LMS axle
play detectors, MLT 1000 and 3000 headlight alignment testers,
MBT 4250 and 7250 brake testers – and MCD 2000 communication
cabinet, all connected with MAHA UK’s newly compliant
EUROSYSTEM V8 software, will be available for visitors to delve into
and try first-hand.
Discover the new C_RGA mobile column lift
With the combination of existing and established technology with
new and innovative features, MAHA UK’s new C_RGA mobile column
lifts increase safety, offer smart connectivity and relia-bility in
abundance, not to mention more lifts and less recharging thanks
to the lithium-ion bat-tery. The C_RGA is a genuine all-rounder for
vehicle maintenance work:
Smart connectivity: Equipped with wireless data communication
and a lithium-ion battery, the C_RGA guarantees quick charging and
longer-lasting power. This improves workshop effi-ciency.
New communications protocol: A double antenna (LoRa radio
modulation) guarantees an interference-free operation, even in
busy workshop environments. NFC tag pairing also simplifies and
secures the connection process. This offers convenience and
peace of mind to users.
Oil-free operation: The proven electromechanical drive means
oil isn’t required. This results in little maintenance and a cleaner
working environment.
Precision positioning: The high-quality worm gear motor ensures
correct vertical positioning; therefore, users can be sure of an
accurate and safe lift.
Optimised design: The slim column design offers an excellent
overall view during manoeu-vres, while the improved chassis allows
for easy movement with the smallest turning radius.
Reliable back-up: ‘Daisy-chained’ charging cables guarantee
uninterrupted use. This provides a reliable backup solution to
ensure no downtime!
Neil is confident the new lifts, as well as the various pieces of
workshop equipment on display will be a “hit” with Road Transport
Expo visitors – he said: “Our customers have known about the
development and progress of these lifts for some time, so to
officially break cover at Road Transport Expo and spread the
word on a large scale is exciting. We are confident the new, smart
features will appeal to the majority of workshops out in the market,
many of which, we hope, will pay us a visit over the three days at
the show.”
On the upgrades, Neil added: “We wanted to ensure any changes
would make a positive differ-ence to customers, make their
lives easier. The lithium-ion battery, for example, will mean less
downtime and more lifts! Also, the new battery design reduces the
overall weight of the column, which, in turn, leads to enhanced
movability around the workshop.”
The C_RGA’s predecessor, the RGA, remains available while stock
lasts.
