Fast
lubes provide a service for their customers by providing periodic
maintenance in a location convenient to their customers. But getting
the oil & oil filter changed is just one of many services they
offer. So each fast lube location has to hire trained mechanics to
maintain their customers cars.
Fast
lube mechanics come in all shapes and sizes...just like the
cars, SUV's and trucks they service. So it only makes sense that a
fast lube would have safe step stools that will make their mechanics
job easier. At most fast lubes you have an "underground
mechanic" whose job is to drain the oil and replace the oil
filter. Another mechanic above the pit servicing the customers
vehicle may need to use a step stool to reach into the engine
compartment to check fluid levels, inspect belts, hoses and air
filter. The mechanic in the pit below the vehicle may need a safe
step stool to reach an oil filter or drain plug. A lot of times in
the oil change bay the surface that the mechanic is standing on is a
metal grating. Not the easiest surface to keep a step stool from
sliding on.
So
how do you know which step stool will elevate the mechanic safely and
not slide or tip over? The mechanic won't always need the step stool
in the oil change bay so moving the step stool easily will have to be
a concern as well.
Shure-Step
offers a lightweight, plastic step stool that is rated for 500
pounds. The 10 pound Shure-Step mechanics step is easy to move around
and they come in black to hide most grease and grime. It's rated for
500 pounds well, you know, for your big mechanics. This step is also
stackable. So let's say a 1-Ton 4X4 truck pulls into your oil change
bay. Grab two 10 inch high Nobby Top Shure-Steps from in between the
bay doors (where they store easily and out of the way) and your
mechanic can stack one step on top of the other and have a 16 inch
high work platform to check under the hood or to reach the oil filter
below.
