Scissor Hoists & Lifts Perth

Choosing a scissor hoist

Scissor hoists sit low when they are down, from 110 mm to 165 mm across our range, so the bay stays usable when the hoist is not in use. Each of our models suits a different kind of work.

For wheel alignment, the CM5500 lifts 5.5 tonnes on 4.6 m or 5.2 m platforms. Its master-slave hydraulics keep both runways level, and the turntable recesses can be moved to suit the vehicle.

For tyre and brake work, the Ultimate UL-DW4.0A is a 4 tonne mid-rise lift with 1,220 mm of lifting height. It runs on 240V single phase power.

For low cars, the Ultimate UL-36CBL starts at 110 mm and lifts 3.6 tonnes to 1,880 mm. It needs a compressed air supply of 0.7 to 0.8 MPa as well as 240V power. For general service bays, the Carleo SL-566S-35 lifts 3.5 tonnes to 1,700 mm and has extendable ramps.

Mid-rise or full-rise?

A mid-rise lift like the UL-DW4.0A raises the vehicle to 1,220 mm, which is enough for wheels, tyres and brakes. A full-rise lift such as the UL-36CBL (1,880 mm) or the CM5500 (2,040 mm) lets a technician work standing underneath the vehicle.

If you mainly change tyres, a mid-rise lift is usually enough. If you also do exhaust or underbody work, choose a full-rise model.

Prices, installation and inspections

The UL-DW4.0A is $5,100 + GST. The other scissor hoists are priced on request.

A scissor hoist is a vehicle hoist like any other, so it needs an AS 2550.9 inspection at least every 12 months. We install, inspect and repair every scissor hoist we sell.
