Lifting The Benchmark In The Australian Automotive Industry

A first for the Australian Automotive Industry - servicing division.

In an Australian first Bartons Group, in conjunction with Levanta, have engineered the future in workshop space for the servicing division of their Bayside Dealership. The two companies worked closely on an intensive four week construction and installation project, to deliver a state of the art automotive servicing facility that will launch at Bartons Wynnum location later this month. 

With the automotive industry progressing at a rapid rate, Bartons chose to pre-empt the evolution and future proof their business in anticipation of the after-sale servicing growth trend. 

Strong local business advocate and Dealership Principal of the Bartons Group, Mark Beitz said, 

“So often businesses outgrow their facilities inside 5-7 years, and the cost is unsustainable. We have a strong vision for the next 10 years and beyond, so we chose the strategy of high investment in cutting edge technology now, knowing it will pay off in the long run.”

Bartons’ new state of the art servicing facility is the first dealership in Australia to install in-ground Envirolifts.

The in-ground style of lift has helped increase the amount of bays in their servicing workshop, while simultaneously increasing their production and saving them time during servicing. Coupled with the added safety features for their staff and increased benefits for their clients, Bartons see their investment as a safe bet. 

Lester Sharples, Chief Operations Officer at Levanta said, 

“Mark is ahead of his time. We engineered his vision and shaped the Wynnum workshop into a benchmark facility that has seriously impressed industry leaders Australia wide.”

Working closely with Bartons, Levanta have developed one of the most advanced servicing facilities in Australia, with key features including:

• 20 In-groundEnvirolift hoists

• An in-ground knucklelift with wheel alignment capabilities
• A 3-D camera imaging wheel alignment machine
• An in-ground roller brake and suspension tester for vehicle inspection

•  3 Wash bays, including underside wash

•  A full detailing, pre-delivery and window tinting facility
•  Waste oil and waste coolant collection systems
•  Bulk oil storage tanks
•  Direct fluid delivery system servicing individual work bays
• Plus 6 spare bays for provision of anticipated future expansion

  

You Can Revitalise Your Pit or Lift With Levanta

MYTH

Because you have an older pit of lift in your workshop no modern jacking beam or pit jack will be compatible. 

FACT

AC Hydraulic pit jacks and jacking beams can be used with existing pits and lifts - regardless of their age! 

So ... what does this mean for your workshop?

Well, by retrofitting a highly efficient new jacking beam to your old equipment, you can save money and increase productivity. It’s an excellent way to get the results you need without doing a complete workshop overhaul.

Pit Jacks To Suit Every Type of Pit

The end frames on our pit jacks come with hundreds of different configurations. This means that regardless of the design of your pit, we have the end frames to suit your rails — giving you the lifting power required for big jobs.

For unusual pit designs without rails, talk to us about a floor running pit jack. These have a HUGE lift height of 2.2 metres, and enable you to get the wheels up off the ground so you can work quickly, efficiently and safely.

The Right Jacking Beam for Your Current Hoist

For wheel servicing while vehicles are still on your hoist, you need a jacking beam (or two jacking beams, if you’re planning to completely lift ALL the wheels to carry out wheel rotation, etc.).

Like the pit jacks, the end frames on our jacking beams are completely customisable – so whether your four post hoist is two-years old or 20-years old, they can be specially manufactured to fit. This enables your team to work much more efficiently, as you can handle all wheel maintenance at a good working height, and utilise your lift better by performing oil changes AND wheel servicing.

It’s easy to retrofit our products to your existing equipment

Simply tell our expert team what you need and they’ll customise the right solution to suit your workshop. Retrofitting really is easy and hassle-free, so there’s no need to continue working with equipment that hasn’t been optimised!

And because all AC Hydraulic products are designed and manufactured in Denmark (and supported locally by Levanta), you know they’ll be premium quality and will withstand the demands of your heavy vehicle workshop.
