DOWNERS
GROVE, Ill., April 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vehicle Service
Group (VSG), part of Dover (NYSE: DOV) and one of the
world's leading automotive equipment companies, today announced the
launch of two new products for the vehicle maintenance and repair
industry in the EMEA (Europe, the
Middle East and Africa) region. The Kendo.Evo leverless
tire changer by Rotary and A/C charging stations by Ravaglioli and
Rotary are designed to offer new business opportunities for vehicle
service providers.
The addition of the Kendo.Evo to the Kendo tire changer range is
a direct result of an in-depth evaluation of the dynamics and
challenges that arise in vehicle service shops, with the aim of
identifying a solution that can better meet the demands of a broad
range of operators.
Kendo.Evo's innovative, state-of-the-art design satisfies and
anticipates the needs of vehicle service shops with its rounded
lines as well as a newly developed storage area that can be
modulated as desired. The frame, without any adjustment, allows a
wide range of rims (from 12" to 30"), while the patented
non-scratch mounting head and extra grip plate simplify essential
operations on the wheel.
Yucon by Ravaglioli and Glaxier by Rotary provide a smart
solution for vehicle air conditioning system maintenance. These
innovative A/C charging stations work with both the R134a and
R1234yf refrigerant gases and are compatible with the latest R456A
and R444A gases.* Created for ease of use, Yucon and Glaxier have
been optimized for advanced connectivity with devices such as
printers and smartphones. They are accessible through the DIGITiQ
AirCon mobile application, enabling operators to monitor activity
from anywhere in the service shop.
"We are proud to introduce two new products to the Ravaglioli
and Rotary portfolio that enrich our workshop offering," stated
Marco Okeny Samorani, Group Product Manager of Tire Service &
Trade Marketing. "The A/C charging stations are a novelty for
our brands, designed to create new business opportunities for our
distributors, and the Kendo.Evo leverless tire changer is an
excellent example of the innovation and continuous improvement we
apply to our best-selling product range."
*The changing of refrigerant gases from one configuration to
another is possible through the use of an optional retrofit
kit.
