Featured project: TIP Trailers, Shepshed
Commercial workshop installation completed for TIP Trailers, Shepshed
Project brief
Part of TIP Trailers’ investment in its sites nationwide, the international commercial truck and trailer specialist commenced a new-build workshop programme at its depot in Shepshed, Leicestershire, capitalising on the site’s central location and excellent access to major trunk routes spanning the UK.
Expanding the site’s facilities, the new-build, fully-equipped Shepshed commercial vehicle workshop is part of a significant programme of TIP Trailers infrastructure upgrades delivered by CCS, supporting our client’s day-to-day operations including truck and HGV leasing, logistics, servicing and maintenance services.
New-build commercial workshop installation by CCS
TIP Group once again engaged CCS Garage Equipment to design, install and commission its new vehicle maintenance workshop at the Shepshed depot. Working together with our client, its architect and building contractors, our team designed a spacious 8-bay facility to accommodate HGV trucks, trailers and tankers working throughout the local area, nationally and internationally.
Equipping the site’s new-build workshop for versatility and efficiency, CCS specified and installed up-to-date equipment including 3 prefabricated steel inspection pits, a 13m ATF test lane and pit that meets DVSA commercial vehicle testing standards, lighting and electrical installation, external floodlighting for safe operations around the clock, LEV fume extraction and lubrication distribution systems.
Steel inspection pits allow for professional, lift-free access all round each vehicle for efficient and safe vehicle maintenance and inspection. Pits are prefabricated according to bespoke specification, accessed by galvanised steel ladders and each featuring anti-slip flooring and integrated lighting to aid technicians during each job. Inspection pits were finished with professional safety floor paint, highlighting workshop hazards for a compliant workplace.
TIP Group’s new Shepshed workshop installation was managed throughout by CCS’ dedicated project manager and our experienced team of garage equipment installation engineers, working alongside contractors and our client to complete the project on schedule. Our client’s team was given full training in the safe operation of the workshop’s new equipment prior to commission, and ongoing maintenance and testing will continue to keep TIP Shepshed’s commercial vehicle workshop operational and compliant with industry regulations.
