Vital Factors To Note When Purchasing A Vehicle Lift

Vehicle lifts are one of the requisite equipment for every workshop and 4S shop.Meanwhile,purchase vehicle lifts is also one of the big decisions for every workshop.As an important expense,it needs to help workshops get considerable returns.So,what are the vital factors to note when purchasing a vehicle lift?

Safety First

Vehicle lifts as one of hoisting equipment,its security should betaken as the first important factor when purchasing.Certificates like CE,CCPC can minimize security risks.These certificates specify the requirements for safety components of the vehicle lifts. In addition,before purchasing,you need to    know what tests the manufacturer has done. Has the lift endured more than 10,000 durability tests?Whether it can pass the  120%dynamic and 150%static load test?

Durable and easy to maintain

Vehicle lift is important equipment in the workshop.If there are frequent problems during use,it will not only affect maintenance progress but also cause loss of human and material resources.Therefore,workshops are advised not to  be greedy for cheap when choosing a lift.Choosing a professional lifts manufacturer can maximize economic benefits,avoid maintenance and replacement troubles caused by quality problems,and greatly reduce maintenance costs.

Accurately evaluate workshop layout and maintenance needs

Accurately measure the area and height of the workshop,and estimate which   models of cars are most repaired in it.When purchasing,it mainly depends on  the space of the workshop and the specific maintenance needs.For example:    Two post lift is the best-selling type of lift.Compared with four-post and scissor lift,it has a smaller installation area and a large maintenance space,and the price is generally more affordable.There are two post lifts on the market with lifting capacity from 3.0 to 8.0 tons,which can lift different types of vehicles.

Workshops can choose according to the weight of vehicles.

The full-rise and mid-rise scissor lift saves space and is suitable for narrow  workshops.The in-ground type can be parallel to the ground,making the   workshop tidier.The ultra-thin scissor lift can be installed to any workshop without digging the foundation.

For quick-maintenance workshops,a mid-rise scissor lift is a good choice.

The scissor lift and four-post lift are equipped with turntables and rear slip plates,which can do wheel alignment and chassis intrusion detection,with better security and more comprehensive function.

Brand reputation and field inspection

In addition to  lift type and specification,the qualification,reputation,and professionalism of the manufacturer also need to be considered.If possible, decision-makers need to inspect manufacturing plants.Because of the factory's  research and development capabilities,on-site management and quality control are the prerequisites for the realization of the above factors.

Vehicle lifts are the most frequently used equipment in workshops.To prevent possible problems caused by lifts in the future,when purchasing a lift,the workshop need to overall consider its own needs,lifts security,and field     inspections.It will ensure that the lifts purchased will work as efficiently as possible for the workshop.
