Workshop Fit-out
Articles on fitting out the workshop as a facility: electrical load and supply, bay workflow, and fit-out for collision, dealer and EV work.

Workshop Lighting Levels: Lux at the Surface, Not Watts
Watts measure consumption, not light. Where 800 lux applies, why spread matters as much as the total, and why dust on covers lowers the level unnoticed.

Multi Bay Workshop Workflow: Time Nobody Bills
Derive station count from target time per vehicle, separate short work from deep work, and treat lift and evacuation times as fixed machine time in the lane.

Three Phase Power for Workshops: Checked Too Late
Published loads of 17 kW, 5.5 kW and 2.2 kW per motor add up in ways single ratings hide. Why some equipment trades an electrical load for a compressed air one.

Dealer Service Centre Equipment: Planned in Bays First
Derive bay count from your daily vehicle target, then pick equipment per bay type. Why duty cycle beats rated capacity at dealer service volumes.

Workshop Electrical Load Planning: Build It Before the Shortlist
Booths need three phase, scissor lifts single phase, and one booth can outweigh five lifts. Building a two-column load schedule from published figures.

EV Service Bay Equipment: The Battery Changes the List
Why a vehicle lift cannot handle a battery pack, what the tilting platform solves, and the single-phase supply detail that catches workshops during fit-out.
