3.5 Tonne Four Post Lift Standard

3.5 Tonne Four Post Lift Standard: a 3.5 tonne four post lift.

Four post lifts are the easiest lift to use: drive on, lift, work. They suit MOT bays, alignment work and storage, and most take a jacking beam for wheels free work. They need no special floor anchoring on many models, which makes them popular in rented units and home garages.

Delivery installation and use

Vehicle lifts used at work must be thoroughly examined by a competent person every six months under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations, with a written report. We offer the examination and a service contract, and we are happy to explain the rules for home garages, where they do not apply in the same way but good practice is the same. Check your supply before ordering. Single phase machines run from a 230V supply but larger motors need a dedicated 16 or 32 amp circuit; three phase machines need a 400V supply. An electrician should make the final connection. Larger items are delivered on a tail lift vehicle to ground level. Tell us about steps, narrow gates or a gravel drive when you order and we will plan around them. Finance is available on larger items for business and personal customers, subject to status and approval, spread over one to five years. Business customers can often offset the cost against tax, which your accountant can confirm. We supply workshop equipment to independent garages, tyre and MOT centres, fleet workshops and home mechanics, and we install and service what we sell. We describe each machine by what it is built to do rather than by brochure numbers, and we will tell you if a cheaper machine suits your work better.
