Vehicle Lift advise for Tyre Retailers

To the busy Tyre retailer there are vehicle lifts available that can genuinely help increase throughput. For the ability to lift all four wheels off the ground simultaneously, a short stroke scissor lift such as the NUSSBAUM SPRINTER avoid cumbersome & unsafe use of trolley jacks. This lift has the added benefits of being available in 240v to run off a standard 13amp socket & can be fully mobile with the addition of a wheel set. These can be wheeled outside of the workshop onto a hard-standing surface if required. Anyone serious about tyre fitment in volume should be considering this type of lift as the base-line for any tyre fitment bay.

If the scope of your services to your customers require work under the vehicle; for example, to change shock absorbers, brakes & exhaust components, then a full height lifts need to be considered. These are available as scissor lifts like the NUSSBAUM JUMBO, above-ground 2-Post & in-ground lifts available from SLIFT, NUSSBAUM, & JAB BECKER offering maximum accessibility under the vehicle.

For performing wheel alignment or MOTs; platform lifts with the advantage of flush fitted, rear slide plates & front turn plates enable the busy workshop to perform these functions much faster & with greater accuracy than “making do” with a lift not specifically designed for alignment. Again, these are available in Scissor lift, 4-Post & In-ground lift variations from OMA, SLIFT & NUSSBAUM. The popular OMA 526JCB combines both ATL MOT & Wheel alignment suitability into one lift.
