Supporting bodyshop operations

Lifts and benches enable controlled vehicle handling for a wide range of repair and preparation tasks, from structural work to refinishing and inspection.

When correctly specified and positioned, they help improve accessibility, maintain consistent working practices, and support safe operation throughout the workshop.

Designed for OEM-approved repair processes

In OEM-approved bodyshops, lifts and benches must support manufacturer-approved repair methods and vehicle support requirements. Careful consideration of load ratings, positioning, and compatibility with other workshop systems helps ensure repairs are carried out in line with OEM standards, while supporting quality, repeatability, and technician safety.
