Automotive Lift Preventive Maintenance in Tampa, FL

Preventive maintenance follows the lift manufacturer's instructions and the planned-maintenance requirements of ANSI/ALI ALOIM, the national standard for lift operation, inspection and maintenance. During service, our technician cleans, lubricates, adjusts and checks the parts that wear. We look for problems before they turn into failures, and we only recommend repairs your lift actually needs. If a part still has life in it, we say so. Any replacement parts are OEM-approved or meet the original manufacturer's specifications, as ALOIM requires.

• Lubricate sheaves, pulleys, slide blocks, pivot pins and moving parts
• Inspect and adjust cables and chains for wear, fraying and equalization
• Check hydraulic fluid level and condition; inspect cylinders, hoses and fittings for leaks
• Test mechanical safety locks and lock releases on every lift
• Check arm restraints, adapters and pads; replace worn pads
• Check anchor bolts and base plates; check the concrete around the base
• Inspect the power unit, motor, wiring and controls
• Check air lines and pneumatic lock systems, where equipped
• Verify smooth raising and correct lowering speed
• Confirm safety labels, capacity plate and operating instructions are present and legible
• Review findings and recommended repairs with you

Automotive lifts are safety-critical equipment. ANSI/ALI ALOIM makes the lift owner or employer responsible for planned maintenance by qualified personnel, at the frequency the manufacturer specifies. It also requires replacement parts that are approved by the original manufacturer or meet its specifications. Safety officials, including OSHA under its General Duty Clause, look for evidence that lifts are inspected and maintained.

Regular maintenance also pays for itself. It protects your technicians from lift-related accidents, avoids surprise breakdowns that take a bay out of service, keeps service technicians productive and lowers long-term repair costs. It complements your required annual inspection; it doesn't replace it. See ALI Certified Lift Inspections.

We maintain lifts of every make and model: new, old, discontinued or custom.

• Two-post surface lifts
• Four-post and alignment lifts

Whether you run one bay at an independent shop, a dealership service department, a municipal fleet garage or a home garage, we'll recommend maintenance based on your lifts, how hard they work and the manufacturer's instructions.
