subject: Motoring Industry Gets A Lift From Gogetta [print this page] A revolution in Australias motor industry could be on the way after a Yatala business imports a new lift commercial trailer supported by funding from equipment financier GoGetta.
Australian motorists could soon be seeing the new integrated lift trailers throughout the motor industry. Potential uses include roadside breakdown assistance, workshop repairs and even caryard displays.
McNeills Trailers and Sheds will this month begin promoting the integrated lift trailers, a first for Australia that both transports vehicles and lifts them into the air for display, inspection and repairs.
Owner Sandy Docherty said the equipment had the capacity to transform the industry.
It offers mobile mechanics and roadside assistance operators a new level of safety and performance, Mr Docherty said.
They can genuinely take the workshop to the customer now.
GoGetta Chief Executive Officer Charles Gregory said arrival of the trailer to Australia also marked a first for the companys unique funding model.
This is the first time GoGettas equipment funding model has been tailored to suit the motoring and mechanical industry, Mr Gregory said.
The model originally delivered success in the hospitality industry and was recently tailored to support operators in the construction and earthmoving sectors with new additions like water tanker trailers and tradesman trailers.
Through the goRent.goGrow.goOwn businesses can purchase costly equipment and preserve valuable working capital, as opposed to buying costly equipment or being stuck in an equipment hire contract.
This means entrepreneurs like Sandy can focus on meeting the challenges of growing their business knowing they can secure the equipment they need, when they need it, in an affordable and flexible way, he said.
Mr Docherty said the GoGetta funding model would allow his customers access to the new lift trailer without risk. If the trailer doesnt work for their business, it can be returned without penalty.
Over the past few years it has been tough to secure finance, he said.
I have used GoGetta for 18 months now. They have really helped me to expand my business and I am pleased to work with them in offering this trailer to the market.
Mr Docherty said it had taken 12 months to bring the integrated lift trailer to Australia and he was keen to show the industry what the equipment was capable of.
It is so versatile and has so many applications on flat surfaces, Mr Docherty said.
It is currently used throughout Europe by breakdown & recovery companies, car dealerships, vehicle repairers, tyre & exhaust specialists, car importers, inspectors and even PR agencies.
The trailer meets all Australian safety standards and is fully registered.
