Keeping Heavy Duty Vehicle Lifts on the Job

In order for your heavy duty vehicle lifts to keep the shop productive, proper care and maintenance is critical. Don’t cut back on protecting your investment, perform these activities routinely:

• Talk with technicians regularly to be sure lifts are operating safely each day; they will know how well the equipment is working better than anyone.
• Follow operation and general maintenance guidelines
• Look for leaks and wear at the start of every shift
• Have lifts inspected annually by an Automotive Lift Institute-certified lift inspector. To find one, visit here.
• When replacing lift components, buy original equipment replacement parts — aftermarket parts are “reverse engineered” and may not perform as well as the originals
