Wheel lifts for back-friendly and efficient tire service
Ergonomics, safety and efficiency in the workplace - with proven technology from Corghi, OMCN, AC Hydraulic, etc.
Wheel lifts are the key to a modern and health-conscious tire service. They are your guarantee for the health of your employees, more process reliability and a noticeable increase in efficiency. You can use them to lift heavy and unwieldy wheels on SUVs, vans and especially electric vehicles effortlessly and safely. A wheel lift actively prevents back injuries, minimizes the risk of damage to expensive rims and speeds up the entire work process - from transporting the wheel to the tire changer to precise attachment to the vehicle's wheel hub. Choosing the right lift depends on your workload and the conditions in your workshop. Whether mobile, battery-operated models for maximum flexibility or pneumatic lifts for stationary use - the investment quickly pays off. We rely on proven brands such as Corghi and OMCN, which are known for their robust construction, easy operation and high safety standards. We would be happy to support you personally in deciding on the ideal bike lift - simply contact us by phone or email.

How do I find the right wheel lift for my workshop?
A modern tire service is hardly conceivable without a suitable wheel lift. It is the basis for greater ergonomics, efficiency and, above all, health. As the wheels of SUVs and electric vehicles become increasingly heavier, it is turning from a useful helper into an indispensable necessity. Wheel lifts differ mainly in their type of drive (manual, pneumatic or battery-operated) and their mobility (stationary or flexible), which makes the choice dependent on the respective workflow. Important criteria when selecting are the load capacity, which must be easily designed for heavy bikes weighing up to 35 kg and more, as well as the appropriate lifting height in order to lift the bike comfortably. Also make sure you have a well-thought-out mounting system, ideally with rollers on the forks so that you can easily turn the wheel and position it on the hub. Safety is also crucial: features such as an automatic brake and a stable, secure stand are essential. Ultimately, the best wheel lift is the one that perfectly suits the processes in your workshop, the wheels to be lifted and your safety requirements.
What different types of bike lifts are there?
Manual and mechanical wheel lifts
Manual wheel lifts are a cost-effective alternative for occasional use or workshops with lower tire throughput. The lifting here is purely mechanical, usually using a hydraulic foot pump or a simple lever mechanism. They do not require any external energy source such as electricity or compressed air and are therefore very easy to use. However, compared to powered models, they are slower and require more physical effort, making them less comfortable when working at high volumes. However, they are an absolutely solid and economical solution for targeted relief during sporadic, heavy lifting operations.
Battery-operated mobile wheel lifts
For maximum flexibility in the workshop, battery-operated, mobile wheel lifts are the most modern choice. Powered by an electric motor with a rechargeable battery, you can move it completely freely. Their big advantage is that they make the entire process more ergonomic: from removing the wheel from the vehicle to transporting it to the machine and precisely reattaching it to the wheel hub. They enable particularly sensitive control and not only reduce lifting, but also the strenuous rolling and carrying of the wheels. Although the battery has to be charged regularly, the mobility and process reliability gained make it an indispensable helper in every dynamic workshop.
Pneumatic wheel lifts
Pneumatic wheel lifts are the classic solution for a fixed workplace and are connected directly to the compressed air network in your workshop. They draw their power from robust hydraulic cylinders that are driven by a pneumatic pump. You control this practically using a lever or foot pedal. The ideal place of use is right next to the balancing or tire changer to effortlessly lift heavy wheels to working height. Their greatest advantages include their high speed and power, their long-lasting, low-maintenance technology and their constant readiness for use without charging times. The only disadvantage is that it is tied to one location due to the required compressed air hose, which makes it the perfect addition to an optimized, stationary workflow.
Cars & vans
This is the most common application area. Wheel lifts for this vehicle class are designed to safely handle the wide range of standard car wheels through to the increasingly heavy wheels of SUVs, vans and electric vehicles. They usually offer a load capacity of up to 60 kg. Here you will find both mobile, battery-operated models for maximum flexibility and stationary, pneumatic lifts for fixed workstations. They are the all-rounders for car workshops, tire shops and car dealerships.
Trucks, buses, agriculture & construction
There are high-performance wheel lifts especially for the extremely heavy and cumbersome wheels of trucks, buses or agricultural vehicles. These are designed for wheel weights of up to 200 kg or more and are extremely robust. In diesem Segment sind die Lifte sehr oft kein separates, mobiles Gerät mehr, sondern standardmäßig direkt in die massive Nutzfahrzeug-Reifenmontier- oder Wuchtmaschine integriert. They are the indispensable solution for demanding continuous use in truck workshops, shipping companies and agricultural operations.
More helpful questions
Why is a wheel lift so important in the workshop today?
The wheels of modern vehicles, especially SUVs and electric cars, are becoming increasingly heavier and often weigh over 30 kg. A wheel lift avoids heavy lifting, thus preventing back injuries for employees and at the same time increasing efficiency and safety during tire fitting.
What is the main difference between a pneumatic and a battery-operated wheel lift?
A pneumatic wheel lift is stationary and powered by compressed air, ideal for a fixed workplace next to the lift. A battery-operated wheel lift is mobile and can be used flexibly throughout the workshop to transport wheels from the vehicle to the machine and back.
What load capacity should a wheel lift for cars have?
For the car sector, a wheel lift should have a load capacity of at least 60 kg. This means you are safely positioned for all common wheels on cars, SUVs, vans and electric vehicles.
Why do many bike lifts have rollers on the forks?
The rollers on the receiving forks are an important ergonomic feature. They allow the raised wheel to turn effortlessly. This makes it much easier to precisely align the screw holes on the rim with the threads on the vehicle's wheel hub.
Are there special wheel lifts for truck tires?
Yes, there are special heavy-duty wheel lifts for the extremely heavy wheels of trucks, buses and agricultural machinery. These are designed for weights of up to 200 kg or more and are often integrated directly into the respective tire changer or balancing machine to make it possible to handle these massive wheels.
What should I pay attention to when it comes to lifting height?
The maximum lifting height must be sufficient to be able to lift the wheel comfortably over the shaft of your highest machine (usually the lifting platform). Measure the height from the standing surface to the top edge of the balancing wave mount beforehand and choose a lift that safely reaches this height.
