BendPak changed the landscape of the entire industry with the introduction of Ranger Products in 1997. Instead of offering just a handful of specialized automotive shop equipment, our ongoing mission is to completely serve and satisfy every automotive market. That's why we manufacture a tremendous array of advanced service products, including floor jacks, spray wash cabinets, oil filter crushers and motorcycle lifts. Industrial-grade air compressors and pipe benders are also sold under the BendPak name. If you aren't familiar with our extensive suite of products, please have a look around. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could get all of your shop equipment from a name you trust? As it stands, you might buy your workbenches from a local hardware store and your floor jacks from an online distributor. You aren't sure where the best transmission jacks come from, but you've heard good things about several global manufacturers, so you spend several days researching those names.
Meanwhile, one of the more reputable companies in the area is having a blowout sale on all of their motorcycle lifts, but that's because they're going out of business, so you're fairly sure that product support will evaporate the moment you need it. So again, what if you could get all those tools from one provider? With Ranger, you absolutely can.

90,000 Equipment for garage: Rules for the arrangement of premisesContent of Article
Garage decoration
Every car owner who has a garage wants to make the most of such a building. When arranging the space, a lot depends on the capabilities of the owner, his preferences, but there are some rules that should be followed for comfortable and safe use of the premises. nine0003
Properly selected equipment for the garage will allow not only to carry out the necessary maintenance of the vehicle, but also to use the area for storing various utensils.
The arrangement of the interior space depends on how the room will be used.
The following aspects are important:
Equipment placement in a spacious room
Depending on the area of the garage, it can be used in different ways:
The room can be used exclusively for personal purposes: for storing cars, tools for their diagnostics and maintenance, tires (read more here), bicycles and other things. But you can also organize a small enterprise: a tire fitting or a car service - in this case, it is necessary to place equipment for business in the garage in the building. nine0003
Tire workshop
Based on the purpose of the premises, the necessary engineering communications are also selected: heating, water supply, ventilation and air conditioning, etc.
The garage may be located on the territory of a private economy, in a garage-building cooperative, be a separate, unguarded structure. It can be located directly in a residential building, attached to it, or be a separate building. nine0003
If the garage is combined with the house, it is easier to bring communications to it, but such buildings are subject to more serious requirements for soundproofing, ventilation, fire safety, and the quality of interior decoration. Accordingly, the equipment for a home garage will differ from the configuration of a removable or personal one, but located on someone else's territory.
Solid building
Such structures can be easily hacked, so storing expensive inventory in them is impractical. Plus they are cold. Metal building
Sandwich panel building
Building made of wood
What is important to consider when building a garage inside:
It is recommended to tile the floor or make it self-leveling. Functional decoration of the room
Lighting in the garage and cellar
Exhaust ventilation in building
Requirements for general, fire, electrical and environmental safety, as well as for the ergonomics of garage equipment are formulated in GOST 31489-2012. There is also a fire safety manual for garages.
To make the best use of the area, you need to make a project. This will separate the main zones and make the room as convenient as possible for operation. Thoughtful placement of inventory is necessary to preserve the aesthetics of the interior space and does not lead to its littering. And free access to tools and fixtures will help reduce the time of work. nine0003
Space zoning
In addition, planning helps to calculate the financial component of the upcoming work.
What should be considered when performing zoning:
If it is possible to allocate a corner for storing things that are not currently needed in the household, this will relieve the living space of the house.
Garage equipment is not that difficult to buy. But some elements can be made with your own hands, for example, shelving or a workbench. This approach will save you a lot of money.
Rooms of all sizes require shelving to store items ranging from tools and materials to bolts, screws and nuts. nine0003
Important! When placing racks, it is required to provide free space to the car. Leave at least 1 meter on each side.
Racks can be purchased ready-made, but not everyone is satisfied with the price of the products. Therefore, armed with a simple tool and the necessary materials, you can build a convenient storage place from wood or metal yourself.
Simple makeshift shelving: the garage is cleared of tools lying around
Shelving can be placed along all walls, the main thing is that they do not interfere with the passage. On the shelves should provide a place to store tools, spare parts, liquids, fasteners. For hardware, it is best to use boxes, boxes or cans.
In addition to shelving, you can also install a locker in which you can store a change of clothes for work, gloves, etc.
A workbench is indispensable for car maintenance or other work. nine0003
Functional structure for various jobs
The structure can be made of metal or wood. It is better to cover the place for work with a metal sheet. For work, it is more convenient to have a multi-level structure that allows you to place a large number of devices.
An inspection pit is required for changing oil, inspecting and repairing the undercarriage, and other operations. But the feasibility of its device is determined by the skills of diagnostics and car maintenance.
nine0003
Construction of a pit for vehicle maintenance
If there is a need for such a structure, it is more convenient to combine it with a cellar for storing equipment for car repairs, blanks and infrequently used items.
Inspection pit-cellar
Inspection pit must be concreted (bottom and walls). Along its edges, metal corners should be fixed, which are necessary to strengthen the compartment. In the pit, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of conducting electricity. It can be stationary lamps, as well as portable lamps. nine0003
Important! When arranging a pit, it is necessary to perform drainage in case of water ingress.
It is better to insulate the walls of the pit. For this, you can use expanded polystyrene plates. Ventilation holes must be provided in the walls. From above, the pit should be closed with a lid at floor level when it is not necessary to use it (as in the photo).
Protective structure for the pit
Do-it-yourself garage equipment inside involves placing everything that a motorist may need:
), wrenches and fasteners. Tool kit
Pipe sections as tool storage
Welding is often required during repairs. To do this, you need a welding machine. For domestic purposes, you can use a carbon dioxide device (welding is carried out with a wire) or a model that works with tungsten electrodes (in a protective gas environment). nine0003
Welding machine
This device is required to filter the air flow from oil and water inclusions. This function is necessary when working with pneumatic tools.
Lubricator and moisture separator in the garage box
In addition to the mandatory set of equipment, various machines can be installed in garages: cutting, turning, hydraulic presses, etc.
The video in this article will tell you about the configuration of garage boxes. nine0003
If it is planned to organize a tire fitting station in the premises, the following equipment for the garage must be available:
Equipment for tire fitting
If desired, a mini-wash can also be placed in the garage. Only for this you need to provide for a sewer drain, supply water and consider protecting equipment and lighting in the garage from splashes.
Diagnostic equipment can also be installed in garages. Everything is determined by the desire of the owner, his needs and capabilities.
Diagnostic complexes
You can do a lot with your own hands by equipping a garage: repair, insulation and cladding of the interior space, engineering communications, installation of an inspection pit, places for storing inventory and carrying out work. With proper placement of equipment and fixtures, such a room will be convenient and comfortable not only for keeping an iron horse, but also for performing other tasks, not even related to cars. This is important, as many car owners spend more than one hour in garages. nine0003

A garage is a very versatile space: in addition to parking a car and storing various things, it can be equipped with a convenient workshop for work, hobbies or repairs. To do this, you need to choose the right furniture, equipment and tools.
determine the purpose and free space. In most cases, the use of the garage is not limited to the workshop: seasonal items, bicycles and skis, conservation, car parts, the car itself and much more are stored there.
As a result, there is usually not much space left for the workshop, so before proceeding with the equipment of the workshop, you need to determine what you plan to do there and how much space to allocate. nine0003
pick up furniture. Depending on how large a work area you need, you may need a workbench, various shelves, holders, tool cabinets, and a work chair.
purchase the necessary equipment and tools. This item depends entirely on what work is planned to be performed in the workshop.
Workbenches. The workshop may need a variety of furniture, but a mandatory attribute is a workbench. This is a special table on which it is convenient to work with wood, metal, leather and other materials. Its strength allows it to withstand fairly high loads, including shock, especially if the countertop is covered with metal. Workbenches come in a variety of designs, sizes and fillings: there are very small models in table format, and there are two-meter giants with two cabinets for tools.
The choice of a workbench depends on the amount of free space, as well as on what kind of work you will do on it and how many things you need to keep at hand for them. nine0003
Tool cabinets are a very handy piece of furniture for a large workshop. They are spacious and allow you to instantly find any tool or spare part you need. The space inside the cabinet can be equipped to suit your needs, place shelves, holders, arrange plastic containers for storing fasteners and small parts. The main disadvantage of such a cabinet is that it takes up quite a lot of space and is suitable mainly for spacious garages, or if you plan to take the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe garage under the workshop. nine0003
Hanging shelves and holders. A very convenient solution for compact instrument placement, which is important in a small area, is a perforated screen that is mounted on a wall or workbench. Holes throughout the area are used to attach all kinds of holders for tools, shelves, hooks.
