Which 1-post lift is the right one for me?
A 1-post lift plays its strengths particularly in service, tire/brake work, smart repairs and in space-critical areas workshop areas. It combines a compact footprint with flexible vehicle accommodation and is suitable for service, preparation and tire changing. Renowned manufacturers (e.g. Consul, ATH, Trusters) rely on durable steel constructions, reliable hydraulics/electromechanics and maintenance-friendly components - this ensures safe operation, a long service life and quick amortization. We would be happy to advise you personally by phone or email.
Which 1-post lift types are there?
Anchored 1-post lift
Maximum stability thanks to solid ground anchoring ensures absolutely safe work - even with high loads and long-term use. The particularly low drive-over height enables comfortable driving up and down even for vehicles with low ground clearance and makes daily work considerably easier.
Mobile 1-column lift
Mobile, maneuverable and ready for use anywhere: compact 1-column solution with minimal footprint for tight workshop areas. Ready to use in minutes without a foundation, ideal for tire, brake and body work.What is special about 1-post lifts?
1-post lifts offer a decisive advantage: one side of the vehicle always remains completely freely accessible. This means that even extensive sill and body work can be carried out without restrictions. They are also unique in their mobile design - no other type of lifting platform can reach a lifting height of over one meter. This makes them particularly flexible and ideal for applications where maximum freedom of movement and a high lifting height are required.
Other interesting questions?
Which floor requirements apply to 1-post lifts?
Flat, crack-free concrete with sufficient strength and thickness according to the manufacturer's instructions is required. For stationary installation, approved anchoring and compliance with the installation instructions are mandatory. We will be happy to advise you.
Which safety functions are important?
Mechanical locking, automatic arm protection, overload protection, emergency lowering, finely adjustable control as well as acoustic/optical warnings increase safety and repeatability in workshop operations.
Which recording adapters are necessary?
Non-slip rubber pads are standard. Plate increases and vehicle-specific pads (e.g. for sill mounts, off-road frames or electric vehicles) increase safety and protect the body and underbody.
How high should the lifting height be?
A lifting height of approx. 1,800-2,000 mm enables ergonomic working while standing. Make sure there is sufficient ceiling height including a safety distance and the drive-over height for lower vehicles.
What load capacity do I need?
2.5t is enough for typical cars. Lifts with a load capacity of up to 3.5 t are recommended for station wagons, SUVs and light vans. Always plan safety reserves and observe the vehicle manufacturer lifting requirements.
230 V or 400 V: Which voltage is the right one?
A 230 V version can be used almost anywhere - the only important thing is to make sure that the fuse is correctly dimensioned in the house fuse box. The 400 V variant, on the other hand, often offers a slightly faster lifting time and places less strain on the power grid, as it is designed for higher outputs and for use in high-voltage systems.
Are there any special aspects of electric vehicles?
Yes, it is well suited for body, tire and brake work. However, not for changing the battery, as the extension of the support arms runs under the vehicle and the battery pack cannot be removed downwards.
Mobile or stationary: which is better?
Mobile 1-post lifts can be used particularly flexibly - they can be quickly moved to different work locations and offer maximum mobility in the workshop. Stationary versions, on the other hand, are firmly anchored and therefore more stable. Here the load distribution does not have to be taken into account so precisely, as the anchoring ensures even force absorption.
Flexible boom and arm geometry is crucial to safely accommodate a wide range of vehicles. Adjustable, extendable or pivoting arms make it possible to reach different pick-up points precisely and to reliably lift both small and larger vehicles.
Usually at least once a year by a qualified person, and also after significant changes or repairs. Test intervals can be shortened depending on frequency of use and operational risk.
Visual/functional inspection, lubrication of moving parts, checking/changing hydraulic oil according to manufacturer intervals, leak testing, checking mechanical locks and arm locks, tightening the anchors, cleaning the mounting points and checking the rubber plates.
Yes, provided that the load capacity reserves are sufficient and the specific lifting points of the vehicle are observed. Electric vehicles are often heavier; Use suitable pads/adapters and carefully adjust the arm load distribution.
Yes, depending on the vehicle, appropriate rubber plates, pads or adapters may be required to securely hit the OEM lifting points and prevent body damage. The most common models can be lifted using the rubber pads included in delivery.
Noise emissions are often in the range of 60-75 dB(A) depending on the drive and hydraulic unit. Review internal health and safety policies; If necessary, provide for vibration decoupling, maintenance of the pump and insulation measures.
Daily visual inspection, weekly check of lubrication points, quarterly function check, annual UVV/safety test. Check/replace hydraulic oil level, hoses and seals regularly.
Operating instructions, if necessary foundation and anchoring plan, electrical connection plans, maintenance diagram and test certificates for the initial acceptance.
Typically at least 3.0-3.5 m is required, depending on the stage height, vehicle type and safety distance. Pay attention to manufacturer's instructions.
The concrete floor must be flat, free of cracks and load-bearing; Flatness tolerances and minimum thickness according to the manufacturer (e.g. C20/25, defined dowels) must be adhered to.
As a rule, you will receive the stage with the unit, arms/recordings, rubber pads as well as documentation and CE documents. Hydraulic oil, electrical cables and also the anchors or the mounting kit are optionally included depending on the manufacturer.
Only if the manufacturer explicitly advertises it. Weather protection, corrosion-protected components and suitable foundation construction are required.
Typical 12-24 months from delivery/installation; Some wearing parts are excluded. Check exact deadlines with manufacturer/provider. Extended service packages are available upon request.
A 1-post lift is not ideal for certain jobs. This includes exhaust replacement, wheel alignment, battery replacement and underbody sealing, as this requires completely free access under the vehicle or special measuring or working conditions.
A 1-post lift is ideal for tire changes, brake maintenance, oil changes, general service and maintenance work as well as various body work. It is also perfect for wrapping work, as one side of the vehicle remains completely freely accessible and offers plenty of room to move.

The stage is largely delivered pre-assembled and can generally be assembled in one day by a technically experienced mechanic. However, it is advisable to hire an experienced fitter to ensure a smooth and safe installation. The electrical connection must always be carried out by a licensed specialist.
A spindle lift offers the advantage that it can be lowered directly from any height - without having to lift it first to unlock it. However, it always requires a 400 V connection and is therefore less flexible in terms of power supply.
A hydraulic lift must be raised briefly before lowering so that the lock is released. However, it is available with more flexibility in terms of power supply, as there are hydraulic models with both 230 V and 400 V.
