Installing vehicle lifts for electric vehicles in your dealership or commercial vehicle workshop

Whether you're a car dealership with a busy servicing and maintenance department, or operating a workshop for the servicing, maintenance and testing of commercial fleet vehicles, you're required by law to provide safe, suitable equipment for the work being undertaken.
