Lift Vehicles the Right Way
Proactive vs Reactive
The best advice we can offer on lift maintenance to avoid costly downtime is to be proactive rather than reactive. Perform routine daily/weekly inspections on lifts to ensure the lift is safe and optimal operating condition before use. Also, have an ALI certified technician perform regular inspections on lifts to meet local and national safety requirements. Taking ALI’s Lifting It Right online course is highly recommended.
Before using an automotive lift, check for the following:
- Hydraulic Leaks
- Frayed or damaged Cables
- Metal shavings in baseplate of lift
- Excessive component wear
- Worn rubber pads or adapters
- Loose Anchor Bolts
- Locks/Restraints not functioning properly
If any of the conditions above are spotted around the lift, call a certified lift inspector/technician immediately.
