Chicago Pneumatic – workshop equipment range

Chicago Pneumatic – workshop equipment range

Based on decades of expertise in providing the right tools and equipment to vehicle service professionals, Chicago Pneumatic has developed a complete new range of workshop equipment to fulfil customers’ expectation and cover all their garage and tyre shop equipment needs. Incorporating trolley jacks, axle stands, bottle jacks, commercial pneumatic jacks, presses and a work light, the portfolio is impressive. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights on offer:

PNEUMATIC AIR JACKS

Designed for seriously heavy lifting in 30 and 50 ton models these pneumatic air jacks incorporate an air-hydraulic pump that silently extends to lift and support heavy vehicles and objects. They have a long reach under vehicles with a three position handle that locks into place for easy use and manoeuvrability. Used in conjunction with CP’s 250kg commercial wheel dolly, it can make the fitment of wheels much easier in any truck/bus application.


LED WORK LAMP

The sturdy 30 LED work lamp was one of the stars of the recent MECHANEX trade shows. With a very strong base magnet, CP was accused by a few stand visitors of “gluing it down” as technicians struggled to pull it off the metal stand. Ideal for vehicle service operations, the new work light is designed to provide you with high powerful lighting. It’s a lithium-ion rechargeable (3.5hrs full recharge) work light supplied with a plug and a car plug. Its six hour working time (on full power), four power settings and 120° adjustment brings you comfort and convenience in your everyday tasks.

 

 

 

 

BOTTLE JACKS

Compact enough to be easily stored, yet featuring a wide base for excellent stability when lifting, the bottle jacks range from 2 ton – 30 ton in seven models. A two-piece folding handle and overload safety valve are included while, additionally, the threaded extension set into the one piece steel piston adds extra lift where needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HYDRAULIC PRESS

Ideal for pushing out stubborn bearings and bushes, the hydraulic press range starts with a bench-mounted 15 ton press – a must in most workshops. This leads nicely into CP’s floor-mounted 20, 30 and 50 ton versions – the latter two boasting an easy lift workbench with eight positions and quick change chuck with a punch set included.

 

 

 

 

 

 

TROLLEY JACKS

With the development of more aerodynamic car styling, CP realised the need for some well-designed and manufactured trolley jacks that are able to be used on some of the lowest vehicles with aerodynamic body kits and bumpers.

With 1.5 ton, 2 ton and 3 ton trolley jacks – all with low entry design – the company is confident that its selection of jacks will suit any garage application. The 1.5 ton only has an 80mm (3.1”) profile when fully lowered, yet will lift to a working height of 540mm (21.3”).

Featured on all models, a rugged steel chassis makes them extremely hard wearing, yet easy to pull around the workshop, while low noise oil and acid resistant plastic wheels will not damage or mark even tiled workshop floors. The quick lift foot pedal and handle lift allows for easy location for the lifting plate, which has a rubber pad to avoid any damage to the vehicle.

Used in conjunction with CP’s new range of axle stands in 2, 3 and 6 ton, with ratchet and safety pin locks, they offer a safe, yet affordable workshop equipment range.
