ABOUT

Increasing comfort and efficiency, Overreach enhances the user’s ability to boost productivity while alleviating muscle and joint fatigue resulting from prolonged leaning over a vehicle’s engine. The first of its kind, Overreach enables the user to work for an extended duration in comfort. This is in stark contrast to the traditional method of leaning into the engine bay, which yields back strain, tight thighs, sharp pain in the knees, and burning calves. Painless work enables the user to expedite tasks and thus efficiency. A foot operated 4 ton hydraulic smoothly raises and lowers the seating device to the user’s required height, suited for an array of vehicles. The magnetic shelf enables quick tool access while the locking casters allow the mechanism glide across garage floors with ease and lock securely into place when positioned. The evolution of work has begun.
