The company’s European Competence Centre of Snap-on Equipment, located near Frankfurt am Main, has been authorised to conduct training courses related to the mounting and demounting of UHP and run-flat tyres in line with WDK requirements.
A prerequisite for WDK authorisation, notes Snap-on, was professional training rooms and workshops equipped with at least two WDK-certified turntable and roller-type tyre changers. The European Competence Centre is equipped with several certified tyre changers of these types; tyre/wheel assemblies, tyres and training materials are also available.
The Snap-on Equipment training team successfully passed the "Train the Trainer" examination taken at the Stahlgruber Foundation and is consequently fully qualified in both technical and didactic respects to carry out training sessions in line with WDK requirements.
