## Lift and mechanical services

Inspection, installation, repair and mechanical service of vehicle lifts and shop equipment, delivered by RBS Emden LLC.

### ALI certified lift inspections

Vehicle lifts should be inspected at least annually by a qualified inspector. Our inspections cover above-ground two-post and four-post lifts, in-ground lifts, alignment racks with rolling jacks and mobile column lifts.

- Structural, hydraulic, cable, lock and control checks against the manufacturer's specification

- Written report per lift with bay number, model and serial

- Repair estimate sent separately when a lift does not pass

- Inspection labels applied on passing lifts

### New lift installation

We supply and install new lifts, or install equipment you have already purchased. Installation includes anchoring, power and air connections where required, a full function test and a signed installation sign-off with photos.

- Two-post lifts from 10,000 lb to 18,000 lb, symmetric and versymmetric

- Four-post storage and alignment lifts with rolling jacks and turn plates

- In-ground scissor and piston lifts

- Mobile column lifts for trucks and buses

- Stack adapter kits, height extensions, organizer racks and accessories

Equipment orders are confirmed with a 50% deposit. The balance is due on installation. Site obstacles must be cleared before the crew arrives; time spent clearing a bay is billed as labor.

### Repair and mechanical service

Most service calls are diagnosed and repaired on the first visit. Typical work includes:

- Resealing leaking hydraulic cylinders, replacing fittings, bleeding and testing the hydraulic system

- Replacing equalizer cables, sheaves, sheave covers and bearings

- Safety latch, lock spring, cam and lock solenoid replacement

- Diverter valves, air lines and air hose fittings

- Anchor replacement and column re-anchoring

- Grease fittings, silicone and preventive maintenance on inspection visits

### Shop equipment

We also service tire changers, wheel balancers, rolling jacks and exhaust extraction systems. A sticking foot pedal, a broken return spring or a worn clamp leg is usually fixed the same day.
