Air Compressor Accessories

Filters, air dryers, and lubrication are always available!

Balancers

When your tire is mounted on your rim, you want your wheel to be properly balanced for a smooth ride. A properly balanced wheel will also give your tires a longer lifespan due to even wear.

Digital Display

The less-expensive alternative, made by Mondolfo Ferro. Available in three models. Each model has a convenient tool tray and takes up minimal space.

Video Display

An upgraded version, also made by Mondolfo Ferro, is available in three models. Video display gives you more information about the wheel that you are balancing, but a balancer with the digital display will get the job done sufficiently.

Air Piping Systems

Ideal for the businesses that use compressed air on a daily basis. Air piping systems make it possible to distribute compressed air to numerous locations around your shop using aluminum or steel piping and fittings.

Quick Lock

No maintenance required, no welding required.
Less contamination in the air stream than black iron.
Increased flow rates, reduce pressure loss on large runs.
Available in 20/25/32/40 mm diameters.

ADG Pro-Air & Pro-Air Plus

Standard Pro-Air, made from aluminum and is recommended for up to 150 PSI. For users who are expected to use higher PSI levels, it’s best to use the Pro-Air Plus system, which can withstand up to 250 PSI.
The system is available in 15, 22, or 28mm diameters.

Benches

Available in all shapes and sizes, benches and toolboxes are essential in an automotive setting. We have a wide selection to choose from, ranging from small benches on wheels to deluxe workstations.

Furniture

Mobile carts can be used for a wide variety of purposes. Many mechanics use them to hold their tools, car parts, and fluids while working on a vehicle. At Factory Direct, Inc., we have the furniture you need for your mechanic or everyday car enthusiast projects.

Floor Jacks

Floor Jacks are a great way to lift all different types of vehicles so you can work underneath them. They are available with several different weight capacities.

Automotive

Not only do we carry floor jacks for lifting your vehicle as a whole, but we also have jacks that can lift transmissions and engines. Automotive floor jacks are limited to lifting 5,000 pounds.

Truck

For larger vehicles, these floor jacks can lift to 30,000 pounds. Of course, these usually are more expensive but are a must-have when working on large vehicles.

Jack Stands

For the safety of yourself and your employees, jack stands serve as a secondary lift if the floor jack were to fail. It’s standard practice to place them underneath both axles on the end of the vehicle that you’re working on.

Lifts

Typically, mechanics use lifts to efficiently work underneath cars, trucks, or other miscellaneous large vehicles. Lifts come in various types for all different purposes

In-Ground

These lifts are installed underneath the floor so a vehicle can be pulled right onto it. In-ground lifts are used for quick jobs like oil changes on smaller vehicles.

Low-rise

These lifts are designed for cars that are lower to the ground and are often seldomly used. They’re very simple to use and can lift cars off the ground as low as 5 inches.

2-Post (9k lbs. to 12k lbs.)

These lifts are the most common seen at auto mechanic shops. They make it very simple for mechanics to work underneath vehicles.

2-Post (15k lbs. to 30k lbs.)

These lifts are rated for larger, full-size trucks. It is recommended to have at least one of these in your shop.

4-Post (9k lbs. to 18k lbs.)

These lifts are more convenient for mechanics but certainly take up much more space—ideal for small to full-size trucks. With a 4-post lift, you can drive right onto it and have the vehicle lifted with ease.

4-Post (30k lbs. to 125k lbs.)

Typically found in mechanic shops that work on commercial vehicles, this lift is ideal for lifting firetrucks, ambulances, and school buses.

Scissor Lifts

Scissor lifts are the most heavy-duty lifts on the market. They are often found in garages that work on extremely heavy vehicles such as city buses.

Lubrication

Tanks

Lubrication and oil tanks must be made of a certain material to hold these fluids for long periods. We supply tanks in 275, 330, 500, and 1,000-gallon capacities.

Pumps

All tanks need pumping systems to get the lube and oil out of the tank. We always keep lubrication pumps in stock.

Handles

Handles for lubrication can range from very basic to very complex. We carry a wide variety of handles to suit the needs of each of our customers.

Fluid Inventory Control Systems

Inventory control systems are a must when you are running a business. It’s ideal to know when you are almost out of a certain fluid so that you can order more. These systems are also convenient for tracking the fluid amount you use on a quarterly or yearly basis.

Waste Oil

Old fluids have to go somewhere. Like the tank that holds the new fluids, the old fluids have to be appropriately stored until they can be properly disposed of. We have the waste oil tank that you need.

Exhaust Extraction Systems

Working in a garage with automobiles can be dangerous without the right exhaust extraction system. You don’t want your employees breathing in harmful fumes.

Fixed Drop

This system is installed just beneath the ceiling so that the technician can pull down the extractor from a fixed position.

Movable Drop

Like the fixed drop, this type of exhaust extraction system can be conveniently moved to wherever the technician needs it to be!

Also, from Mondolfo Ferro, this tire changer simultaneously positions and locks the head by simply operating a single lever.
