The Les Searle Group has updated its in-house repair and maintenance capabilities with new Totalkare equipment.

The company’s workshop cares for a fleet of excavators, dumper trucks, tractor trailers with low loaders, and bulldozers. Totalkare has installed a 10m inspection pit with a side access tunnel. It’s also kitted out with a pit jack, oil drainer, and safety rails. The Les Searle Group also opted for an in-ground brake tester, shaker plates and headlamp tester. 

Les Searle, managing director of Les Searle Group, said: “We are delighted with the installation from Totalkare. The quality of manufacture of the vehicle pits, along with the build and functionality of the in-ground brake tester, shaker plates, and headlamp tester, are impressive. These tools are crucial for maintaining our fleet, directly underpinning our ability to serve our customers best. With these advanced solutions, we can conduct thorough and efficient maintenance, reduce downtime, and enhance the reliability and safety of our operations. Totalkare has provided us with an excellent solution that aligns perfectly with our requirements.”

James Atkins, projects manager at Totalkare, said: “We’re thrilled to support Les Searle Group in elevating their workshop capabilities. Our comprehensive pit lane installation, including the TK70 brake tester, shaker plates, and headlamp tester, offers unparalleled precision and reliability. This equipment is designed to streamline vehicle diagnostics and maintenance, reducing operational disruptions and ensuring consistent, high-quality results. At Totalkare, we pride ourselves on delivering bespoke solutions that meet the specific demands of our clients, and this project is a prime example of our commitment to excellence.”

The TK70 brake tester is DVSA-approved and supports workshops in identifying and addressing brake issues. The shaker plates are ideal for assessing suspension and steering systems that might not be obvious during visual inspections. The plates can be used as a preventative maintenance tool to minimise unexpected downtime.
