Vehicle Lifts

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Although used extensively for MOT installations, it has largely been replaced by cheaper and ergonomically superior tow post lift for routine service work.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.
