Reply To: Faults found on 48 out of 55 MOT lifts in Northern Ireland

Hi Marko,
Its great to see that someone has at last got some information as to what has happened??
So we know its a MAHA product and I am sure MAHA will be under pressure to get this sorted!!!!
MAHA do indeed sell the same products in the UK, therefore it would be good to know model numbers of the product and possibly photos of the problem, then we could inform UK users.
Do we know the independent Insurance Company who found the fault and withdrew the safety certification??
Whilst I have spoken to the GEA (Garage Equipment Association) about this matter and asked them to liaise with the HSE (Health & Safety Executive) nothing has been put on their Websites to date.
This to me has become more concerning than ever, welding a plate for a “quick fix” doesn’t guarantee anyone’s safety.
I really think the whole garage equipment industry could be reacting a lot faster than they are.
