How to choose a car lift

A variety of lifting equipment, including car lifts, mobile car lifts, car jacks, electric and pneumatic jacks and other lifting devices, are essential tools for car repair and maintenance. Quality lifting equipment provides a safe and effective way to lift and support vehicles. Choosing the right lifting equipment depends on the specific need, the nature of the work and the environment. We stock a range of different car lifts in our online shop, and give you a brief guide to making the right choice.

Before making a decision, it is important to find out what kind of work the lift will be most needed for, whether there is enough space to install the lift and what the load capacity of the existing floor is. The right truck-mounted lift will help to ensure an efficient and safe working environment and a high quality end result. Although they have a similar purpose, they differ in design, use and lifting capacity.

Firstly, the type of lift is important. Some lifts are designed for bodywork, e.g. Spanesi Mini bench, while others are specifically designed for pre-painting, e.g. GYS Ergo Lift 1000. Measure the size of the work area and find out whether the floor of the existing interior can support the weight of the lift with the truck. If you don't have enough space to install a stationary lift, you will find a number of mobile lifts in our range, such as the GYS Spot Lift Easy or the GYS Spot Lift Pro, which take up less space and make it easy to move the car lift if necessary.

Secondly, pay attention to the load capacity of the lift. The load capacity should exceed the weight of the vehicle you are lifting, this will ensure safe and stable lifting. We have a wide range of lift truck models with different load capacities to meet different needs.

The lifting height and adjustability of the truck lift is also important. Make sure that the lift you choose allows you to comfortably access all parts of the vehicle and provides sufficient lifting height.

Our range of professional lifts includes a variety of models that are ideal for pre-car bodywork and pre-painting. Trust our team of experts to find the perfect forklift to meet your requirements and ensure an efficient and safe working environment.
