The rapid growth of the electric vehicle market will, in time, present a huge demand on workshops to provide an efficient environment for the servicing and maintenance of such vehicles.

While the mechanical side of the traditional motorcycle workshop will undoubtedly continue, ie, for mechanical parts, tyres, brakes, suspension, linkages, chains and the like, the advent of electrically powered vehicles will introduce different considerations in terms of safety and technician operation.

Looking ahead to the ‘light age’ RS Workshop Equipment is ahead of the game as the UK supplier of the NEW ISOL8 workstation - one of the first installations dedicated to electric vehicles. The equipment features workbenches and worktops coated with a specially formulated compound, designed to provide insulation from the high voltage required during, charging, servicing and normal operation of electric vehicles. The patented and CE-certified coating is oil, chemical, solvent and scratch resistant too. Combined with an insulated floor mat within a taped boundary it offers a ‘safe’ working area for technicians. These systems are now being adopted by Electric Vehicle Workshops throughout Europe and encouraged by the leading electric motorcycle companies.

The ISOL8 range of lifts are available as EG 400, 600 and 800kg or NANO 400 and 600kg. To accompany the ISOL8 electric vehicle workstation RS Equipment also offers compliant 250 litre battery storage containers.
