Work area equipment

The design will help the car to drive strictly along the rails without hitting the objects that are in it. Such equipment is especially relevant if the garage is cramped.
Lighting
In the dark, you can safely do repairs in the presence of special lamps. In addition, for the convenience of entering the garage at night, it is advisable to build a fixture that provides additional lighting. It will provide visibility to the rear of the garage. The bulb is turned on from the contact plates connected to it. When the wheel of the car enters the upper plate, it will touch the lower plate. The circuit closes and the light comes on.
Installation of heating appliances
