If you are a workshop owner that works primarily on trucks, you should know by now that most lifting equipment is not suitable for trucks, and that lifting equipment comes with weight restrictions that must be adhered to if you want to maintain safety in your workshop.
So that brings us to the question of what types of lifts are best for performing maintenance and repair work on trucks?
There are many different options out there when you are looking for a truck hoist for sale, and as workshop equipment experts, this is what we have to say about the topic.
Firstly, there are very few scissor lifts that have the lifting capabilities to lift trucks. Even though scissor lifts are very popular when it comes to working on other vehicles, they are definitely not ideal for trucks. On top of that, they do not allow you to gain access to the vehicle’s undercarriage.
So what are the other solutions?
While you can look into four post and two post lifts, in our experience, mobile column lifts are truly the best for working on trucks.
Why Mobile Column Lifts?
There are various reasons why mobile column lifts are so popular, including:
- Easy and safe to operate
- Low capital investment
- They can be stored away
- Flexible use
- They have impressive weight capabilities
Make sure that whenever you buy a truck hoist that you buy a model from a reputable dealer. There are probably secondhand options available, but you need to ensure that these are in good condition and are not damaged in any way.
