A heavy goods or passenger vehicle lift which can be set up in any part of the workshop, or even outside, has been introduced by Walter Somers (Material Handling) Ltd. Known as the Somers/Hywema mobile vehicle lift, it is claimed to give complete access to all parts of the vehicle being lifted.
With a maximum load capacity of 30.5 tonnes (30 tons), and as it doesn't need to be permanently sited, there are no heavy installation costs and workshop space can be more economically utilised.
The mobile lift has four separate lifting units each with its own electric motor, which are used to lift the vehicle by its wheels, The lifting units are linked to a control unit so that when they are raised, support assembly stands can be fitted enabling the lift to be moved to another vehicle.
