Two-post lift meets electric vehicle needs

With electric vehicle car registrations increasing significantly its becoming more important for workshops to gear up for the servicing of electric vehicles, Straightset suggests.

SMMT figures show 190,727 new BEVs joined Britain’s roads last year, along with 114,554 plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), meaning 18.5 per cent of all new cars registered in 2021 can be plugged in.

For car servicing, Straightset suggests garage owners need to start thinking about EV workshop equipment.

A Straightset spokesperson said: “The two-post lift is one of the crucial pieces of equipment in any garage, but very few two-post lifts meet the requirements of a mechanic needing to service an electrical vehicle.

“This is due to the position at which the lift holds the car in the air, which can restrict access to the battery.”

The electro-mechanical two-post lift SDE2357EV from Space offers a solution for garages wanting to set up a universal work bay.

“The innovative low-profile arms with rotating terminal offer incredibly flexible use, making the lift suitable for lifting all types of vehicles, from the standard city cars to sports cars, including the most modern electric vehicles,” the spokesperson added.

The lift features special articulated pad ends and jointed arms to make EV battery repair work and general EV servicing much easier.

The movement flexibility of the arms provides direct access to the battery pack for its removal operations.

The automatic arm locking system provides utmost safety and stability for the operator.

The Spokesperson concluded: “With a lifting capacity of 3.5T and a maximum height of 3876mm, the SDE2357EV could just be the lift you need in your modern workshop.”

Space lifts including the SDE2357EV are available via Straightset, the garage equipment experts, with over 30 years experience in workshop solutions.
