Moving damaged or immobile vehicles around a busy collision repair workshop can be difficult, particularly when space is tight, but GUNIX has been designed to make the job considerably easier.
Available exclusively through SAPE Group in Australia, GUNIX is a specialist wheel system aimed at collision repairers, automotive workshops and vehicle recovery operators that regularly need to reposition vehicles that may not be capable of moving under their own power.
The key feature is its built-in rotating hub system, which allows the wheel to change from a conventional rolling configuration to a free-spinning arrangement without removing it from the vehicle.
Using a locking mechanism, technicians simply remove four locking pins to make the conversion, a process that can be completed in less than 20 seconds.
Once converted, the free-spinning arrangement provides considerably greater flexibility when manoeuvring a vehicle, particularly in confined areas such as repair bays, workshops and storage areas. It can help technicians reposition damaged vehicles and make better use of valuable workshop floor space.
GUNIX is also engineered for demanding professional environments. Its polyurethane tyre is designed to provide the durability and resilience required for regular workshop and vehicle recovery use.
Importantly, the wheel offers an impressive load capacity of around 1,588kg per wheel, providing the capability required for a broad range of vehicles.
Its four and five-bolt pattern compatibility is designed to suit most passenger cars, light SUVs and electric vehicles, further increasing its usefulness for modern repair businesses.
For collision repairers, where damaged vehicles frequently need to be moved before they are mechanically operational, the ability to manoeuvre a vehicle quickly and easily can be a significant advantage.
GUNIX is ultimately a straightforward solution to a familiar workshop problem: moving vehicles safely and efficiently while making the best possible use of available space.
