Parts Depot UK @ GGM introduces Heftee Lifts into the UK Market.

Parts Depot UK, the new online universal parts service, is offering specialist workshop lifting equipment from Heftee Lifts following the agreement to become the authorised distributor for Heftee products in the United Kingdom.

US manufacturer Heftee lifts, has developed an enviable reputation for the development of specialist lifting equipment dedicated to the specific needs of the commercial groundscare sector, enabling turf equipment and large utility vehicles to be safely and easily serviced on versatile, adjustable freestanding workstations. A Heftee Lift enables workshop technicians to safely and conveniently remove wheels, engines, transmissions as well as support front and rear mount attachments.

"We're excited to be teaming with Parts Depot UK and GGM to bring our Heftee products to the UK," said Scott Fore, President of Heftee Industries. "We expect shortly to receive our CE marking on a newly designed Heftee 4000 - with product arriving in the UK early next year. We are looking forward to providing our UK customers with the same great versatility and efficiency that has been the hallmark of Heftee lifts since 1991," Fore said.

Initially, Parts Depot UK will offer the well-established Heftee 4000, with the product portfolio being widened over the coming months. The Heftee 4000 was chosen as it is tailor-made to fit the needs of the UK market from hire companies, dealers right through to end users. This incredible equipment can lift an 84inch wide piece of equipment weighting some 4,000 pounds to six feet in the air in a matter of seconds.

Chris Gibson, Parts Depot UK managing director comments: "Heftee Lifts have an outstanding reputation in the US where technicians have indicated an impressive increase in job efficiency of around 30-40%. This productivity gain coupled with improved safety makes the Heftee Lift a worthwhile investment in every groundscare workshop."

Parts Depot UK is part of GGM, one of the leading UK groundscare dealers, who will be on-hand to provide advice and support on installation and operation of the equipment from. Each lift is easy to install, requires no wiring and comes with a 24-month warranty.
