Boston playtime

The PD-304 hydraulic play detector from manufacturer Boston Garage Equipment has received VOSA approval. Manufactured in the UK by the firm it features large stainless wheel-stops and is said to have three times greater plate drive force than any pneumatic model as well as lateral and rotational travel exceeding the VOSA minimums. For pit installations the controls can be mounted at any convenient location. When installed on lifts, the dedicated hydraulics and controls are mounted on the lift post, avoiding the obstruction of a floor mounted control system.
