Single
Post Lifts
Single post lifts can be electro-mechanically
or electo-hydraulically powered. Essentially for 'tight
spaces', they offer good access to the underside of
a vehicle where a two post , scissor or cassette lift
cannot be employed for reasons of space or cost. They
are ideal for routine vehicle servicing but the transverse
load arm - essential to the design - can cause limitations
with some tpes of work.

Two Post Lifts
Particularly suited to fast service work, widely
used and universally accepted, two post lifts offer
a space saving way of lifting vehicles up to nearly
7 tonnes and provide a high degree of underside access.
Since they are surface mounted, they can be cheaply
and easily installed into most workshops provided there
is a good floor.
Generally, two post lifts are either elctro-mechanically
or elctro-hydraulically driven. The electro-mechanical
or 'screw type' are usually cheaper but tend to suffer
from very high operational costs, average reliability
and depending on quality, a modest life span. At the
oppostie end of the scale, lifts that are purely electro-hydraulic
- that is to say they use rams rather than cables, chains
or other mechanical components within the load bearing
system, are usually more expensivie at the outset but
are inherently reliable, virtually wear free, cost little
to operate and have a very long life.

Four Post Lifts
The four post lift , by virtue of its design,
offers a stable lifting system for most types of vehicles.
Usually hydraulically powered, it is the most cost effective
way of lifting a vehicle in a wheel support fashion.
However the design is not particularly space saving
and the platforms can get in the way for certain types
of work.
Although used extensively for MOT installations,
it has largely been replaced by cheaper and ergonomically
superior tow post lift for routine service work. The
capacity of a four post lift varies upwards from 3 tonnes.

Scissor Lifts
These hydraulically operated lifts offer all
the virtues of their two and four post counterparts
- but without space consuming posts. As a result, they
occupy much less workshop area and provide significant
access around a vehicle.
Scissor lifts can be either surface
mounted or installed so that the platforms are recessed
enabling them to be level with the workshop floor. The
'in ground' style permits more flexible use of the workshop
area and makes shop cleaning simpler.
The design of the scissor lift is particularly
suited to wheel alignment because the centrally supported
platforms are relatively free from deformation and can
be easliy adjusted to be level.

Mobile Columns
These mobile columns are highly
productive, flexible and easy to use for commercial
vehicle repairs. The movable carriage
forks allows pick-up of smaller vehicles and eliminates
the need for 'small wheel' auxiliary adapters.
