So whether you are looking to replace your current car or truck lift, or purchase a vehicle lift for the very first time, it is very important that you make the right decision. Workshop equipment can be costly and the equipment you choose should serve your workshop for years to come.
As experts in the industry, Top Gun Cranes offers advice on what not to do when purchasing car and truck lifts for your workshop.
Believing Everything A Secondhand Seller Says
There is nothing wrong with buying secondhand as long as you are very careful. Perform an inspection yourself and do not believe everything a seller says, as they may be trying to hide potential issues with the equipment.
Not Measuring The Workshop Space
Make sure you know how much workshop floor space you have available to you, and check the dimensions before ordering any sort of equipment.
Looking For The Cheapest Option
As we all should know by now, the cheapest option is not always the best. By buying a subpar lift, you may save a few bucks now, but you’ll probably encounter problems in the near future and have to fork out cash for repairs or even a full-on replacement.
Not Checking Out The Maximum Weight Capacity
While you should check every feature of your potential vehicle lift, one feature you should pay careful attention to is the maximum weight capacity. Make sure that the lift you’re considering purchasing can handle the weight of your clients’ vehicles.
Rushing The Purchase
While you may need a lift ASAP, it is never a good idea to rush the purchase, as this is when mistakes happen. You could buy the wrong model or even get scammed by a dodgy seller. Take your time, do your research and ensure that you are 100% confident in the lift before handing over any money.
