The firm says its new workshop module, which can be bolted together in a few hours on site, is capable of taking a hi-roof 3.5-tonne van for simple body repair and spraying – using the unit's full paint mixing and storage capability, climate control, three-stage extraction systems, compressor, scissor lift, low-energy infrared curing unit and integrated reception area.
The Show model was apparently the largest of the workshop modules currently being offered, and was capable of providing for four car bays.
In the case of the spray unit, Dawsonrentals is also partnering with Xpress Centres to offer training.
"This is an interesting extension for the group, but what convinced us finally was the overall quality of the workshops and their systems and the fact that we can support them fully through our network of 36 UK branches," states Dawsongroup, managing director, Steve Miller.
He also says the company has plans to install the spray workshop versions in each of its dedicated van branches in the coming months.
"For any fleet, the installation of a unit, whether for a month, year or longer, is instantly going to deliver great cost-savings and ensure premium quality work but without all the cost and continuing investment needed into permanent premises," he says.
