Hofmann Megaplan Blog
5-7 June 2018 | NEC BIRMINGHAM | HALLS 6, 19 & 20
Hofmann Megaplan is pleased to be exhibiting at Automechanika 2018, the UK's leading exhibition for the automotive aftermarket and vehicle production sector.
This year we will have a wide variety of equipment and experts on hand to talk you through every aspect of our machinery.
We will be exclusively showcasing two brand new pieces of equipment. The megamount 813XL is the first tyre changer of its kind in the marketplace; a fully automatic machine, but without the traditional tilt back arm! This Tyre Changer uses an innovative parallelogram design to operate the mounting head with control and precision, removing all flex while fitting.
We will also be launching our new wheel alignment system, the Pulse 8. This Italian aligner is changing industry standards! The Pulse 8 from Hofmann Megaplan is the wheel alignment machine that fills the gap between our Ecoline 88 (ccd) and the Ssence 600 HD (3d). This launch will also be accompanied by a new balance program. This will feature on the MS420 and is an OWB program (one weight balance) which is completely new.
