Snap-on Equipment Raises Money for Tornado Victims
March 2008
Employees at Snap-on Equipment have reached out to the caring hands of the United Way.
On February 29, 2008 the company presented the United Way of Faulkner County with a donation of more than $1,400 to benefit Arkansans devastated by storms that ripped through the state on February 4, 2008. Employees participated in a Jeans Day fundraiser where those who made a contribution were rewarded with extra casual days for the week. The employees raised more than $700, and this amount was matched by Snap-on Equipment’s corporate offices.
Aimee Prince, Resource Development Director for the United Way of Central Arkansas said the generous donation is an excellent example of how the community steps up when there is a need, no matter where the need is.
"This donation will help those in surrounding counties begin their lives again, because of you! It was the largest donation made to the account. You can’t begin to imagine the impact this donation will make on those who lost their homes."
Snap-on Equipment’s High Performance 3-D Imaging Aligner Selected by Nissan’s GT-R Dealers
March 2008
Nissan High Performance Centers and a majority of Japanese Nissan dealers upgrading in preparation for the Japanese introduction of the GT-R super-car have chosen the Arago V3D Imaging Alignment System from Snap-on Equipment’s John Bean line.
The GT-R Certified Arago V3D is the world’s only self-calibrating alignment machine, and is one of the most accurate machines on the market today. The Arago V3D meets the demanding needs of the 480 HP, 3.8L twin-turbocharged GT-R. The GT-R boasts a racecar style suspension and a top speed of 193 mph. Known for its speed, accuracy and patented 3-D imaging technology, the Arago V3D produces highly accurate results in less than two minutes. It also eliminates cumbersome setup steps and customer comebacks due to calibration issues.
In addition to the Arago V3D Imaging Alignment System, John Bean offers the V3D2 and V3D1 Imaging Aligners, and the 10K Scissor Lift - all of which are GT-R Certified.
