The Automatic Battery Management unit will charge a battery from a minimum of 9 volts to 13.8 volts and then turn off. It will then monitor battery voltage until it drops to 12 volts, through natural drain, and then turn on again to re-charge and exercise the battery to 13.8 volts. This not only prolongs the life of your battery, but ensures the battery is ready for action when you are.

THE AIR CHAMBER

The Air Chamber difference

If you are buying or about to buy a motorcycle, Sports or classic car then this self assembly pod will certainly keep you prize vehicle

in a clean dry environment when not in use.

Ideal for car or bike storage or simply keeping them clean & polished without the usual dusty scratch inducing atmosphere pollution.

Unlike some other alternatives on the market I consider this to be a more practical 'value for money' enclosure

- because -

Due to this pod having a framed structure it is also suitable for working in or even polishing your car/bike in!

Assembly is simple and should take almost an hour start to finish.

From only £250.00 - Buy Now

Features

The controlled environment principle is not new, but Airchamber’s rigid, three-dimensional inner frame most certainly is. No other system can boast this unique feature. It means that you can drive your car into Airchamber, or use it as a walk-in store for household items. A frame also means that when you’ve set up your Airchamber instant storage is always at hand – wherever you need it, thanks to full portability. With eight sizes ranging from extra small to extra-extra large, there’s an Airchamber to fit your space and your needs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How does it work?

Controlled environment systems re-circulate clean air inside the storage cell, whilst filtering out airborne impurities (like dust). In these conditions, even damp objects are dried – the breeze created by the air currents aids evaporation, just like on a washing line. It’s like hanging your car out to dry.

Evaporated moisture within the Airchamber is then allowed to escape with the airflow, as it gradually seeps from the vent and closed zips. Replenished by fresh, filtered air from the fans, the environment will therefore always remain fresh, as well as condensation-free (because rapid changes in temperature are prevented).

With a virtually moisture-free atmosphere, rust and mould cannot develop; the reason we don’t say totally moisture-free is because even ‘dry’ air contains a certain, natural amount of water vapour. This helps prevent materials (like wood and leather) from losing their qualities.

Airchamber ensures that the process described above is as efficient and effective as possible. Powerful electric fans circulate up to 50,000 litres of air per hour (enough to dry a rain soaked car), with the filters being electrostatic to trap even the smallest particles.

Despite this impressive performance, running costs typically work out at less than £10 per year!

GATES STT 1 Sonic Cambelt tension setting tool

To accurately set the tension on many modern cars or motorcycles eg Ducati, Renault etc requires the ability to check the frequency emitted from the cambelt when plucked (like a guitar string).

Any other method of setting (guesswork) is liable to shorten the life of the belt, vary the valve timing & worse case scenario snap or de-rail the belt causing ££££££££££ of damage!

The tool for this job is made by Gates & is the STT1 - @ around £450 it is quite expensive for the average mechanic to invest in one for those infrequent tasks - we have a tool here & subject to secure conditions can hire it out to you to use in the comfort of your own workshop

NB. you must be fairly local to us here in Dunfermline as it has to be collected personally.

To book please telephone 01383 723222 please have credit card details to hand.

BIKE GRAB

by MAIL ORDER

WE ALSO HOLD THESE IN STOCK HERE

Bike Owners - Ever Wondered how to park you bike safely in your garage ?

Car Trailer Owners - Ever wished you could simply adapt your existing car trailer to take Motor Cycles without huge expense & time ?

Bike Trailer Owners - Ever felt that your bike is not that secure on these silly ramp type trailers (wont stay vertical as I found recently to my cost)?

Well, look at these pictures & see how I resolved the very problems encountered by myself (a bike enthusiast and dealer).

As an Aid during maintenance

In this pic you will see that by using a bike grab to hold the bike steady I have carefully used a small trolley jack to remove the front wheel on this MV - obviously by slotting the front wheel into a bike grab it would be just a simple to work on the rear of a bike - keeping the machine nice & stable click here

In Showroom

we use these in our showrooms bolted to the floor for total security & totally 'customer proof'- rear or front tyre slots over small ramp into calibrated adjustable wedge (No wheel or tyre damage).

To remove from the 'Grab' simply push or ride bike directly forward out of the unit with no fuss.

Bike Trailer Mounting

this is our flat bed trailer with a bike grab fitted using the 'quick release plate'which allows removal of the 'grab' for other non bike trailer uses!

this is same trailer with a Honda SP 2 mounted securely - for parking you could also chain the bike wheel to the Bike Grab (so with piece of mind you can pop in for a coffee at the cafe )!

Car Trailer Mounting

this is my car trailer with 'Bike Grab' quick mount plates (2) fitted, these do not interfere when even the lowest of cars are loaded (inc F40, Diablo & Mantis).

by placing the Bike Grab in the mounting & tightening a single 17mm nut the car trailer becomes a bike trailer (we have ours kitted for two side by side bikes).

Simply using ratchet straps to pull the bike into the grab & a couple holding the bike down (as seen in bike trailer pic above) the entire assembly is very secure & more importantly very stable!

USEFUL BIKE LIFT ITEMS

Tommy Jack - Rear Wheel Speed Lift (suits most swingarm models) £24.95

EazyRizer - the World's Safest Bike Lift (main lifting assembly)

@ £325.00 inc. Vat & 1 x set of attachments

If you are looking at the various advantages/disadvantages please consider - we have tried most of the available lifts in our own small workshop & found hydraulic lifts to suffer from seal problems within a few years rendering them unreliable & expensive to repair.

The two lifts described as the 'Eazyrizer' & 'Big Blue' are superb particularily considering the lifetime warranty.

We suggest sports bikes use the 'Eazyrizer' & Harley or Vintage bike owners use the 'Big Blue'

Lift comparison in a nutshell:- Eazyrizer allows for side stand securing along with your chosen mounting kit & is slightly more compact but not as low as the 'Big Blue', which has a lower /wider platform to start jacking from & can support a Goldwing 1800cc with ease (using the beam mount kit) -- operation of both lifts is very similar.

The 'Big Blue' is a bit heavier in construction & has a raked platform upright guide which increases stability when lifting heavier bikes (Harley etc) & therefore takes up a little more room - there is no side stand fixing on this lift - wheels on the rear of this lift assist with any required workshop manoeuvering into position.

NB the Ducati Kits are designed with pre 999 models in mind as the newer bikes oil radiator is mounted in the way of the forward left side bracket - temp removal or alternative front mountings are advised for 999 & later.

You Also Get with both ;- A FREE Drill Socket Adapter - one per lift (worth £5.00)

Lifetime Warranty (priceless) FREE

Amazing versatility

EazyRizer’s amazing versatility allows you to handle Super Bikes, Retros, Harley Davidson and Customs, Classics, Off Roaders, Quads, ATV's, Trail Bikes and Scooters. The patented design includes options to lift ANY STYLE BIKE WHEELS FREE- in EVERY case the bike is firmly clamped to the lift to guarantee total safety.

The Dyna Glide for example, as well as almost every bike with a full cradle frame, can be lifted with our standard beam mounts without adaptors. Adjustable over a 2-foot span, the beam mount system allows you to optimize the pick up points to the frame. Once secured the bike can be lifted and stored safely.

EazyRizers are the only real option for sport bikes

EazyRizers are the only real option for sport bikes, other than a table lift. Lifting these lumpy “frameless” wonders has had owners swinging their bikes from the rafters, constructing crude pipe slings or rolling it onto a traditional table lift where extra and awkward steps are needed to access the suspension and wheels. Table lifts are an obstacle between you and the bike as well. Not to mention the garage space a table lift takes up. Leaning across one of these table lifts can be quite hard on ones back, imagine changing a tyre without bending! The axles align with an average height person’s waistline. Changing tyres every few thousand miles, sport bike owners pay for the lift quickly. Plus, Your dealer would rather see you with just the wheels than the bike and its safer at home on your EazyRizer.

Quickly interchangeable mounts - See options listed below

Our Mounts are quickly interchangeable. Mounts simply slide on and off the lifting arm, making lifting many different styles of bikes simple.

Unparalleled 360° access

Compared to EazyRizer’s operator-determined working height and unparalleled 360° access, table lifts seem as much a hindrance as help. With axles at an average height person’s waistline, EazyRizer allows changing tires without bending! Changing tires every few thousand miles, sport bike owners save enough on labor to pay for the lift in a couple of years. Your dealer would rather see you with just the wheels and your bike is safer on your EazyRizer.

One person operation

EazyRizers are designed to be operated by one person, enabling the largest of bikes to be effortlessly raised to the optimum working height in a flash. The unique design allows full wheel/suspension removal and unparalleled 360° access to your bike, making routine maintenance and cleaning a pleasure. Whether air or hand tools, electric or cordless drill, EazyRizers can be operated in remote locations with a variety of power sources. Big Blues wheels make getting the lift under the bike easy as well.

Showcase

EazyRizer lifts are frequently used in bike showrooms to dramatically draw attention to the star attractions, however they also offer first class security, courtesy of the optional locking system. Once a bike is locked in the raised position - the owner has total peace of mind knowing the bike cannot be lowered.

EazyRizer lifts are in use throughout the world by home enthusiasts and motorcycle manufacturers. Even so, we realize that the stability and safety of operation needs to be seen to be believed.

Tested By Lloyds
Lloyds British (Konecranes) Limited tested the lift to extreme conditions. During these brutal tests, EazyRizer withstood a weight of TWO TONS without failure

Eazy Rizer Big Blue Pro Motorcycle Lift

@ £395.00 inc. Vat & 1 x set of attachments

Adjustable over a 2-foot span, the beam mount system allows you to optimize the pick up points to the frame. Once secured the bike can be lifted and stored safely. “Big Blue” has slightly larger dimensions than “Original Red Bike Lift”, but still consumes no more floor space with a bike lifted than a larger bike resting on its side stand.
