The team behind Chris Hoy’s victory at the Le Mans race were equipped with pit lane toolboxes provided by Minitec UK.
Mintec designed and produced custom-made track-side tool chests for the Algarve Pro Racing team and its famous driver in the 24-hour competition.
Minitec’s wide range of aluminium profiles, connectors and components offered mechanical assemblies that are durable, easily configured and modifiable at a very competitive cost.
MiniTec managing director Gary Livingstone said: “These tool chests are very specific to the motor sport industry and are large in size, not dissimilar to an office desk, nearly 2m long and 1m high. All the engineer’s tools are stored inside, with additional flexible storage for driver and safety equipment, they keep the garage looking and working with model efficiency. The units are tough enough, that even if you wanted to drop engines on top of them to work on they stand up to the task.”
