Automotive Lift Installation & Replacement
There are a lot of great automotive lift manufacturers out there with a variety of options suited to fit your Fredericksburg-area business. It is a good idea to purchase a lift that is both safe and reliable so that it will last you for years to come. When purchasing a lift, you want to select a manufacturer that follows all the requirements of the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) and meets all of your specific needs.
When is it time to replace an older lift? It is a good idea to replace an older lift when it no longer meets today’s safety requirements that are necessary during both ALI inspections & OSHA inspections. Also, a lot of the older automotive lifts are not capable of lifting newer vehicles because of lifting points, weight, and various wheel bases.
