FAQs

A manual parts washer uses a hand-operated brush or hose to apply solvent to the component while it sits in a drained bath — simple, low-cost, suitable for low-volume cleaning work. A powered parts washer pumps solvent through nozzles or a spray manifold continuously while the component is submerged or rotated — much faster for high-volume work, with better cleaning of deep recesses. Workshop choice depends on cleaning volume; high-throughput shops typically have a powered washer as primary kit with a manual bath for smaller components.

Match capacity to the heaviest engine or transmission you'll handle. For passenger cars, 500-750kg engine supports cover most automotive applications. For light commercials and 4x4s, 1000kg is the standard. For HGV engines and plant transmissions, 1500-2000kg supports are needed. The rated capacity is listed on product pages; always specify capacity above your actual load with a safety margin.

Cabinet size depends on the largest component you typically blast — small components (brake parts, small castings) fit a 600-mm cabinet; larger components (cylinder heads, manifolds) need 900-mm or 1200-mm cabinets. Abrasive grade depends on surface finish: coarse grades (steel grit, larger garnet) for heavy rust removal and stripping; medium for general cleaning; fine grades (glass bead, fine garnet) for finishing without surface roughening. Match the abrasive to the job and the component material.

Within Vehicle Workshop Equipment you will find Engine and Gearbox Supports (the under-engine cradles and beam-mounted supports used to hold engines and transmissions during removal and refit), Parts Washers (manual and powered cleaning baths for component degreasing), Shot Blasting equipment (cabinet and free-blast systems for surface preparation and rust removal), Wheel Removal Trolley (the trolley dollies used to handle large wheels and tyres), and Hoists (workshop chain hoists, beam hoists, and crane systems). Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of Sealey, SIP, and Draper across vehicle workshop equipment. The three brands together cover the breadth of trade-grade workshop machines, with Sealey carrying the deepest range across engine supports, parts washers, and shot-blasting equipment. Product pages list capacity (in tonnes for hoists and engine supports, in litres for parts-washer baths, in volume for shot-blast cabinets), motor power and air consumption (for powered units), table or working-area dimensions, and weight. For hoists and engine supports, the rated working load is the safe limit — never exceed it, and always observe the manufacturer's safety guidelines. Trade pricing on multi-machine and workshop fit-out orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583 for a quote on full-bay specifications.
