COMPACT INSPECTION LIFT
CDS 35 is an indispensable aid for all work requiring the vehicle to be lifted, including damage diagnosis, cosmetic dent repair and mechanical checks in general. It is a compact double-scissor lift designed to fit into any collision repair workshop. Combined with a PointX II diagnostic measuring tool or the CDR1 Cosmetic Dent Repair Workstation, it forms a specialised work place, where complete repairs are performed quickly and efficiently.
Drive or roll the vehicle over the lift, raise it to the necessary height and start damage diagnosis. Cosmetic damage can be repaired while the vehicle is on the lift. It can lift up to 3 500 kg (max vehicle weight) and is space saving, tak- ing up less room than a standard 2-post lift. The drive-on ramps may be used as platform extensions
with an easy lock/unlock positioning.
The compact console control station protects key electrical compo- nents, hydraulic power pack and hydraulic syn- chronisation controls

CAR-O-LINER ESTIMATION BAY
The estimation bay is crucial to any repair shop; the better the inspection, the more effective is the body shop in dealing with its customer.
Car-O-Liner offers a range of solutions and suggests the CDX 35 double scissor lift, along with the PointX II with storage wagon and the WSS 2-wall module with storage cabinet and hooks for hanging equipment, would suit most repair shops.
In addition, the Car-O-Liner Academy provides training on estimation and measuring.
The opportunity to view a car completely provides opportunities to point out other damage to a client's car they may consider repairing, such as a paint scratch or small dent.
A professionally equipped inspection bay helps convince the customer your shop is the right choice.
NEW MIRKA ESSENTIALS RANGE
MIRKA went to the effort of creating a specialist internal team to develop this new range. After carefully analysing each step of the refinish process and looking at how each basic item was used, these experts developed a selection of quality products that can be relied on to produce efficient, repeatable results. MIRKA Essentials not only work fluently with existing MIRKA products, they are also designed to help collision centre processes flow smoothly in order to save valuable labour time and ensure a high-quality result, says Matt Sbizzirri, PPG Product Specialist, Associated Products.
“MIRKA Essentials is a range of accessories and consumable products that are seen as essential for paint refinishing, collision repair, polishing and oth- er surface finishing work. As well as being com- petitively priced, the range is all about giving a val- uable return on investment. Each item in the MIRKA Essentials catalogue has been carefully designed to work hand-in-hand with other MIRKA products, while making small but worthwhile contributions to your overall process productivity. In the end, the benefits far outweigh the outlay. Compared to other similar products on the market, the range brings some handy, built-in features we think users will really appreciate. For example, the MIRKA Essen- tials Tack Cloth is larger than the average tack cloth so it can cover a larger area in one go and it leaves less residue. Then there is the MIRKA Essentials Degreaser Cloth which we found performs flaw- lessly and doesn’t leave behind fluff. It’s the sort of performance you expect from MIRKA. When it puts its name on a product, you can be sure it’s going to get the job done reliably, time and time again and that is where the whole MIRKA Essentials range re- ally delivers.”
MIRKA Essentials are available from authorised MIRKA distributors across Australia and New Zea- land. The initial MIRKA Essentials range is set to be expanded in the future so keep a lookout for even more great products.
