The minimum overall height is an important quality feature. Good mobile lifts have a very low drive-over height of only about 10-12 cm.
Mobile lifts – Freedom and flexibility for your workshop
The mobile professional for your workshop – without any anchoring.
Imagine that your lift is not a fixed fixture, but a flexible tool that adapts to your workplace – and not the other way around. Elaborate foundation work? Anchor heavy dowels in concrete? Forget these thoughts! This is exactly the freedom that our mobile lifts offer you: No more fixed workplaces! Move your stage to where you need it and store it to save space when it's not in use. The only requirement is a firm, level surface.Why choose a mobile lift?
Mobile lifting technology is considered the most flexible way to lift vehicles. But is it the right one for you? The answer is a resounding yes if you need maximum flexibility for your space. Regardless of whether you are an ambitious hobby mechanic who needs to clear your garage after work, want to cover seasonal order peaks as a tire service, or need a flexible second platform for quick jobs such as brake repairs as a professional workshop - a mobile platform adapts to your needs, not the other way around.
The solution is as diverse as your requirements. Our range of mobile lifts includes much more than just the classic mobile scissor lift. It ranges from special body lifts for painting and sheet metal work to flexible motorcycle and quad platforms and heavy wheel gripper systems for commercial vehicles. Which version suits you best is determined by your vehicle mix and your planned work. We offer a wide range of lifting capacities from 2.5 to 68 t and more, with different pick-ups and lifting heights. In doing so, we rely on established manufacturers such as TRUSTERS, ATH-Heinl, OMCN and Consul, who stand for robust construction, reliable safety and long-lasting mobility.
Mobile lift with integrated chassis
A mobile lift with integrated chassis is the most flexible type of lift, usually in the form of a 1-post lift. The decisive advantage lies in the built-in chassis, which works like a pallet truck: a single person can easily lift the entire lift via a drawbar and push it effortlessly to any location in the workshop. To work, the stage is simply lowered again, where it then stands securely on its frame. After the work is done, it can be pushed aside just as quickly to make room.
Lifts with mobile kit
Unlike a platform with an integrated pallet truck, the mobile kit is a separate accessory: it typically consists of robust rollers and a lever rod (drawbar). When the lift is to be moved, the kit is attached to the platform at designated points. The lever rod is used to lift the platform slightly so that it stands on the rollers and can be moved. At the new place of use, it is lowered again and stands stably on its frame. It is the perfect solution for all those who are looking for a stable platform for daily use, but want to keep the option open to flexibly redesign their workshop.Mobile lifting platforms are an ideal solution for workshops that want to flexibly design their work area. In contrast to a permanently assigned workstation, they make it possible to use a lifting platform exactly where it is needed. Once the work is done, it is simply rolled aside and the area is immediately available for other vehicles, tool trolleys or material.
When it comes to safety and performance, modern mobile lifts offer a high professional standard. Powerful hydraulic units ensure reliable lifting of even heavy vehicles. At the same time, robust steel constructions and certified mechanical safety latches ensure safe operation.
These features also enable clever work processes: a vehicle can be lifted and placed on jack stands, meaning the lift is immediately free for the next job. In this way, the workshop capacity can be efficiently expanded, for example during peak orders, without permanently tying up space.
Frequently Asked Questions
How flexible is the pick-up system for different types of vehicles?
High-quality mobile lifts have a very flexible pick-up system. These include support arms that can be adjusted in length and position or sliding rubber blocks. This ensures safe and damage-free pick-up of vehicles with short, narrow or wide tracks.
How is the stage moved and can one person do it alone?
Yes, moving is designed for one person. Depending on the model, there is a permanently integrated chassis or a separate mobile kit consisting of a lever drawbar and rollers. In both cases, the platform is slightly lifted and can then be effortlessly rolled to the desired location in the workshop.
What is the maximum payload of a mobile stage and is it also designed for heavy SUVs or electric vehicles?
The payload varies depending on the model, but values between 2,500 kg and 3,500 kg are common. Professional mobile lifts are designed for most passenger cars, SUVs and also heavy electric vehicles. It is crucial to match the permissible total weight of the vehicle with the load capacity of the platform and to pay attention to the manufacturer's specific pick-up points, especially in the case of electric vehicles. If you want to lift heavy vehicles, wheel grab systems are your choice.
What is the maximum lifting height of the platform and enables ergonomic working?
Mobile short-lift scissor lifts typically reach a lifting height of about 1.0 m. This is ideal for work on the wheel, brake and bodywork, which is usually carried out while sitting or squatting. For extensive standing underbody work, a 1-post platform with a lifting height of up to 1.9 m or a stationary scissor lift with full lifting height is more suitable.
What certified safety systems does the stage have?
Professional mobile lifts are CE certified and have multiple safety systems. These include mechanical safety pawls that prevent sagging, a pipe rupture protection on the hydraulic cylinder, an overload valve to prevent excessive weight and often an acoustic warning signal when lowering (CE-Stop).
What power connection is needed?
Most mobile lifts are designed for a standard 230V connection for maximum flexibility. Some particularly powerful models may require a 400V connection. The power consumption of the hydraulic power unit is usually between 1.5 kW and 2.2 kW.
What requirements does the stage place on the workshop floor?
A decisive advantage is that no special foundation is required. A flat, firm and load-bearing concrete floor, as is available in most workshops, is perfectly sufficient for safe operation.
How fast does the stage raise and lower
?The lifting and lowering times are optimized for efficient operation. The lifting time under load is approx. 30-60 seconds, depending on the model. This enables fast work cycles, which is particularly important in tire service.
Mobile platforms are ideal for all surface work on the vehicle. This includes classic tasks such as wheel and brake service, but also body work and, in particular, foiling work, where flexible working height is crucial. However, they are not the best choice for heavy mechanical interventions such as a gearbox removal, as a permanently installed 2-post platform is recommended for maximum underbody clearance.
The main differences are the lower maximum lifting height and the more limited access to the vehicle underbody compared to a 2-post platform. The advantage is clearly the flexibility and the absence of a fixed installation.
