MaroloTest modular lift program
A few months ago we reported on a new trike lift manufactured in France by MaroloTest. One of the world’s first specialty motorcycle workshop equipment manufacturers, MaroloTest was founded in 1958 when it introduced what is thought to have been the first ever motorcycle specific dynamometer – a PTW diagnostic test bench for the small cc mopeds and scooters that dominated the European market at that time.
Founder Paul Marchand, who pioneered what has become an ‘everyday’ in automotive and motorcycle performance, tuning and diagnostics, and fast forward to the 21st Century and MaroloTest is still in the vanguard of motorcycle dynamometer design in conjunction with Daniel Fuchs.
These days under the ownership of Jean-Luc Marchand who bought the company in 2000, the Marolo-Test offer is a turnkey motorcycle workshop solution with many patented and proprietary designs and techniques.
Not least among these are their ModuLift and VariLift workshop lift programs which feature pneumatic or hydraulic power options, according to customer preference, and a materials and equipment specification which delivers ergonomic and versatile workshop space solutions. Their trike lift features a system of six removable plates for 2-, 3- or 4- wheel vehicle configuration, with the Harley-Davidson Tri Glide as the blueprint for the system. MaroloTest’s specifications meet or exceed all worldwide approval standards and can be specified for US, European and other international power sources.
International Sales and Marketing Director Raphael Girard told AMD Magazine that “although we offer dealers the choice of pneumatic or hydraulic power, 80 percent of our sales are pneumatic because of the ease of use, reliability and cost-effectiveness of pneumatic power.” In addition to dynamometers and lifts, check out their MaroloBio program – an environmentally friendly solvent-free parts washer system that offers a cost effective alternate to the increasingly regulation-restricted issue of waste disposal.
