Bodywork & Painting Lifts – The Specialists for Perfect Repairs and Finishes
Safe, powerful, and flexible for every step of your work.
In bodywork repair and painting, different rules apply compared to a standard workshop. Here, it’s not just about lifting but also about unrestricted access from every perspective. While strength for alignment work is required in the bodywork department, explosion safety is the top priority in the paint booth. Our specialized lifts are precisely designed to meet these different requirements and enable ergonomic work for top-quality results.

Why Choose a Bodywork Lift for Bodywork & Painting?
Such a specialized lift is a true professional tool that quickly pays off for you because it increases your efficiency, improves the quality of your work, and ensures the highest level of safety. With unrestricted access, you can easily reach sills, wheel arches, and often the entire underbody for absolutely precise work. This allows for perfect ergonomics, as you are always working in the ideal position instead of forcing yourself into uncomfortable postures or working overhead. The result is visibly higher quality: you achieve flawless welds and perfect paint finishes because every spot is optimally illuminated and accessible. At the same time, you work with maximum safety, as specialized drives are available for every application area – from powerful hydraulics to ATEX-compliant pneumatics.
The Electro-Hydraulic Sill Lift
The workhorse for daily accident repair. With this type of lift, the vehicle is lifted directly at the sills using a powerful electro-hydraulic unit. This functionality ensures optimal access for welding, straightening, and assembly work. Since the wheels are suspended freely, unrestricted access to the chassis and wheel arches is also possible. Thanks to its high load capacity, the lift is also ideal for heavy vehicles such as SUVs and small transporters.
Pneumatic Lifts for ATEX Zones
Pneumatic lifts are the specialized solution for painting and bodywork shops where the highest safety standards apply. They are specifically designed for safe use in explosion-prone areas (ATEX zones), such as paint booths. The lifting motion is generated by robust, flexible lifting bellows that are filled exclusively with compressed air. Since the drive is purely pneumatic and completely avoids electrical components, the risk of sparking caused by paint fumes or sanding dust is eliminated. This allows vehicles to be safely lifted to an ergonomic working height for all preparatory tasks – from sanding and filling to priming. The design ensures optimal access to sills, wheels, and the underbody, significantly increasing work efficiency.
The Mechanical Swivel & Rotating Lift (Rotisserie)
The ultimate solution for full restorations and extensive bodywork. The empty car body is clamped at the front and rear and can then be rotated 360 degrees purely mechanically – usually via a hand crank with a gearbox. Every position can be securely locked in place. This allows you to perform welding or painting tasks in the most favorable physical position (downhand welding instead of overhead). Since these lifts are designed for empty car bodies, their load capacity is intentionally lower, making them lightweight and mobile.Frequently Asked Questions
What Does ATEX Compliance Mean for Lifts?
ATEX is an EU directive for equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres, such as paint booths. A lifting platform is ATEX-compliant if it is certified for the specific Ex zone — not automatically just because it's pneumatic. Pneumatic drives reduce the risk of electrical ignition sources, but still require proper certification. Electrically powered lifts with Ex-protected components are also approved for use in paint booths — so pneumatic drives are a common solution, but not the only one.
How Safe Are Mechanical Rotating Lifts?
Very safe. They are equipped with robust, form-fitting locking mechanisms (e.g., perforated discs with locking pins) that reliably prevent unintended rotation of the car body. Stability is ensured by a wide base.
Is an Electro-Hydraulic Lift Suitable for the Paint Booth?
No, absolutely not. Due to the sparking of an electric motor and the electrical controls, there is an acute risk of explosion. Electro-hydraulic systems belong in the bodywork department, not in the painting area.
Do I Need a Special Floor?
A level, solid, and load-bearing concrete floor is the basic requirement for all types to ensure safe and stable positioning.
What Should I Consider Before Commissioning?
All you need is a solid, level industrial concrete floor and the appropriate power connection (either 230V for charging the batteries or 400V for operating wired models). No foundation or construction work is required.
