Evolving Workshop Technologies

Delivering innovation to the workshop, Evolving Workshop Technologies Pty Ltd holds the patent for an elevating work platform (EWP) which is fitted to workshop pits to increase efficiency and safety.  Customised for either new mechanic'spits, prefabricated pits or for a retrofit to existing pits.  A simple design based on the reliable cable suspension system, the EWP is hydraulically powered and is controlled by a hand-held remote transmitter.  While working the platform can be raised or lowered to suit the vehicle undercarriage and mechanic's/technician's height.  The EWP also improves workshop safety as it acts as a pit safety cover while not in use while increasing available workshop floor space. 

Equipped with an EWP, the service pit becomes the most efficient and safe way to service vehicles and complete inspections. Why?

- Quickest access to the vehicle undercarriage - just drive over the pit, no hoists to set up.

- Adjust the height of the platform to suit vehicle and mechanic while working

- Avoid straining injuries and discomfort by adjusting the platform.

- Tools and equipment can be loaded onto the platform so they are at the ready.

- Vehicles can be accessed at all levels simultaneously reducing downtime.

- Unobstructed access to the vehicle undercarriage - no jacks, hoists or cables required.

- Suits all fleets including lawnmowers, utes, trucks, to large mining machinery.

- Customised accessories and equipment available to further increase efficiency.

Integrated safety features of the EWP address fail-safe operation of the platform.  The EWP system is easily maintained and repaired by internal workshop staff.  Parts are mostly non-specific which are readily available from hydraulic, electrical andlifting suppliers. 

The EWP has been proven to be a reliable, long-life asset in the workshop since its inception in 2006. Our repeat customers validate the time savings of the EWP, the increase in staff morale and the safety improvement to their workshop facilities.

Our pre-fabricated drop in pits are also fitted with an EWP.  The pre-fabricated pits reduces onsite construction time.  The EWP is plumbed and wired ready for connection once the pit has been installed.

Evolving Workshop Technologies newest innovation incorporates the EWP within a redeployable workshop facility with a mechanical service pit.  Suitable for field work with Defence exercises, remote road works crews, mining exploration and remote construction.  The facility is almost fully contained and is easily transported to site and fully functional in 2 days.
