Hofmann Megaplan, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of high performance tyre equipment, has recently introduced two new models into their range; the ‘Spacy’ and ‘The Major’.
The Megamount Spacy represents an evolution of a model that the company says was a commercial hit, the popular 701XL model. According to Hofmann Megaplan, the 701XL has established itself as the best selling tyre changer in its class within the UK tyre and wheel industry, leaving the new edition plenty to live up to. The Spacy offers an identical specification to the 701XL, put together in a smaller package to reduce the area needed to operate the machine. The Spacy has the demount head swing up and away, as opposed to tilting back, as it does on a traditional column, allowing the space in which the machine works to be used more economically.

The catalogue is available in three formats: on the www.ukbatteries.co.uk website, in paper form and also on a CD.

The ContiTech Power Transmission Group has issued a new catalogue specifically for Asian vehicles. The range covers over 96 per cent of the Asian vehicle parc in Europe. The compilation helps workshops and dealers quickly locate the right belts as well as the range of deflection and tensioning pulleys and kits for Asian passenger cars.
Today’s advanced cars require advanced batteries. It’s no longer possible to simply select a replacement battery based on size and type of vehicle alone because many other factors influence battery selection. Within a single vehicle model line-up a range of engine types, power output levels and “in-car” electrical accessories are available, and end user fitments add further uncertainty to the ‘what battery is right’ question – the demand placed upon a battery varies widely. Modern vehicles also operate in vastly differing conditions, from short but intense urban driving conditions to longer sustained driving, and regardless of driving conditions, extreme heat or cold have always been factors for consideration.
Bosal UK, part of Belgium headquartered exhaust systems and catalytic converter designer and manufacturer Bosal International, is strengthening its UK presence in the bus and coach exhaust systems market.

Bosal has also published a catalogue covering its initial product range for buses and coaches, and the company says it will make its first appearance as an exhibitor at the 2008 Euro Bus Expo at the NEC, Birmingham in November.
