We’re pleased to announce the completion of another state-of-the-art workshop for Stratstone Mercedes-Benz, a project that perfectly embodies our ethos of creating Workshops of the Future.
As Electric Vehicles (EVs) become increasingly prevalent, our workshops are designed to accommodate both EV and traditional vehicles. This dual-focus approach ensures that our facilities remain relevant and efficient, no matter how the automotive industry evolves.
Workshop Overview
This workshop is equipped with a comprehensive range of advanced tools and technology, including:
- 16 Rotary Solutions 2-Post Lifts
- 2 Rotary 4-Post MOT & Alignment Lifts
- Energotest ERBT4-W-SD ATL Roller Brake Tester (featuring Special Drive technology and soft start for E-Brake testing)
- 18 Rousseau Metal Technician Workstations
- OilPro UK LTD Fluid Management System
- Hunter Engineering Company Elite Wheel Alignment System
- Hunter Road Force Elite & TCX70 Tyre Equipment
Each of these components plays a crucial role in ensuring that the workshop is equipped to handle the full spectrum of automotive service needs.
Revolutionising Brake Testing
The Energotest ERBT4-W-SD, a Class 4 ATL MOT Roller Brake Tester, is a key feature of the workshop. Developed in partnership with Energotest, this tester includes Special Drive technology with a “soft start” function that extends machine life and supports precise E-Brake testing.
Key features include:
- Energoline® Test Lane Software for seamless operation.
- 54-Second Test Cycle for quick and efficient testing.
- Electronic Hand Brake Test with rollers starting at 1% speed and 100% torque.
- 4×4 Vehicle Compatibility with counter-rotating rollers.
- Durable Construction featuring a fully galvanised frame and military-grade anti-salt epoxy resin coating.
- DVSA Approval for connected equipment.
This advanced brake tester enhances both efficiency and accuracy, reflecting our commitment to top-tier service and innovative workshop technology.
Looking Ahead
This project wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible teamwork from our partners, including SRA Architects Ltd, 7Formation Ltd, CER Electrical Ltd, and Brava Building Services. Their expertise was instrumental in bringing this vision to life.
As we celebrate the completion of this project, we’re already looking to the future. The automotive industry is evolving rapidly, and our commitment to creating Workshops of the Future ensures we remain at the forefront of these changes. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved and are eager to continue pushing the boundaries in automotive service facilities. If you’d like to learn more or discuss your own project, contact us today.
