How to choose an axle lift?

Convenient and efficient work in the service requires professionally certified equipment to help mechanics do their job as quickly and professionally as possible. The axle lift is usually mounted on the edges of the service pit or on a four-column lift, which raises the vehicle to an even higher height, making it easier to work with the car suspension. Wheel lifts are usually used with this type of lift. One of the advantages with AC Hydraulic lifts is that they have a warranty: 3 years for hydraulics and 10 years for body parts.


Axle lifts are used for the following vehicles: cars, trucks, minibuses, buses, tractors.

The axle lift should be selected according to: Lifting capacity, lifting stroke, minimum height, length of supports, lift width, construction height, construction depth, compressed air pressure, compressed air flow.


When choosing an axle lift, pay attention to the lift parameters and its capabilities. First determine what weight you want the lift to lift, consider the future perspective and if there is a possibility that you will need to lift heavier vehicles in the future, it is advisable to buy a lift with a higher load capacity. The second important point is when customers inaccurately measure the distances of their service pit edges and purchase an axle lift of the wrong length, so a special order form for pit and axle lift specifications is filled out. Also, in order to work comfortably, you need the most noise-free tools, so we recommend paying attention to the noise emitted by the pump and choosing a lift that emits the least decibels. In order to make the lifted vehicle more stable, various variations of the support beam are possible, some are fixed and some are flexible, they lengthen. Also, estimate the height required to perform the desired work, as there are many options. Pay attention to the product description, most axle lifts require a compressor, so if you have a good compressor that you do not intend to replace, evaluate whether the compressed air pressure and flow will suffice.


Safety first! In order for mechanics to avoid accidents, axle lifts must be installed by professionals, it is important to carry out tests after installation work so that there is not the slightest risk of injury. Also, when an axle lift is used, periodic professional inspections are required to prevent rapid wear and injury to workers. For safe operation, all lifts must be certified, the European standard is called CE, please note whether the lift of your choice has it, as without this standard your axle lift may be unsafe and unauthorized. It is often the case that mechanics or their limbs are pinched during a breakdown of the lift, so to avoid accidents, we recommend choosing a lift with automatic locking.
