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.

Wisbech, 4th April 2024. A four-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 reliability in abundance, not to mention more lifts and less recharging thanks to the lithium-ion battery. 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 efficiency.

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 manoeuvres, 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 difference to customers, make their lives easier. The lithium-ion battery, for example, will mean less down-time 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.
