This automotive service equipment elevates vehicles to a height that allows technicians to comfortably stand and work underneath. As a type of vehicle lift, it provides a working environment similar to that found when using a two-post or four-post lift, but often with a smaller footprint when lowered. A common application is in tire shops and express service bays where undercarriage access is frequently required.
The increased ergonomic comfort and efficiency afforded by this equipment can lead to faster service times and reduced strain on technicians. Historically, shops relied on shallower rise lifts or even jack stands, requiring technicians to work in awkward positions. The adoption of this equipment represents a significant improvement in workplace safety and productivity, enabling more thorough inspections and repairs.
