What Kind Of Lift Is Right For You
Everybody has different criteria, with different cars, garages / workshops and requirements.
Do your potential customers or clients need addtional storage, are they looking for a lift to complete a project? Do they do ALL their own servicing and maintenance?
J&F Group do mainly make 2 Post Lifts, in many markets, in general 2 Posts is the best sales. Less place taken. Good performance & cost-effective choices for both home users & garage workshops. They can be used in all the situations if one hope to lift a vehicles. Should the majority of your customers have sufficient space & height, a suitable base and do all the maintenance on the cars? Then we will be happy to discuss the best options for 2 Post Lifts which may be suitable for your circumstances.
However, 2 posts require substantial, reinforced, footings (200mm preferred). If not so, the choice is probably between a 4 Post Lift, or Scissor Lift.
The size of the garage (and the cars) is of paramount importance. If head-height is restricted then Platform Scissor Lifts come into their own - park over the top of them when not in use and you wouldn't know they were there.
If garage owner have a concrete yard then a mobile scissor lift may be the best option, to use outside on a fine day (but runners may be required either side to allow sufficient ground clearance)
The best thing we can recommend is to contact us for a chat, negotiate a workable solution in your market. Perhaps, a trial order to assure yourself that your preferred solution is a practical and sound decision for you!
All J&F Equipment is independently tested and is manufactured to exceed specifications of the relevant standards.
All our lifts can be equipped with CE(Europe) or ETL(North America) certified motor on request.
The quality of materials we employ to manufacture J&F Lifts, and the overall construction, including welds, has drawn wide praise from customers.
We do not rely on hydraulics alone, even though some competitive products opt for the use of twin Cylinders(rams) and safety valves only to afford protection ALL J&F Lifts also employ mechanical safety equipment, usually ratchet safety interlocks, to ensure the lift or ramp is mechanically locked before the users work on a vehicle.
A suitable floor, usually a level 6" concrete base which has cured for at least eight weeks, will be required for 4 Post and Full-height Scissor Lifts.
Many Chinese domestic factories offer ONLY a limited one-year warranty on the major components of their lifts. The majority of J&F Lifts carry a five-year main body warranty and one year hydraulic system/power unit warranty.
Our full line of J&F lifts are manufactured to the same exacting standards as most of the "better known" Chinese domestic lift manufacturers. Of course，all lifts are NOT built the same! There are similarities in the appearance of most above ground lifts, but the J&F LIFTS are built to standards that far exceed domestic standards incorporated by most other Chinese manufacturers. There are many companies offering garage lifts manufactured in China, where some manufacturers have reduced the metal thickness to save money. J&F doesn’t trust in that way. Our two post lifts are not only built from great quality materials, with a first class finish, we have added strengthening plates in crucial areas, and added or improved safety features. Some of our garage lifts have extra safety features designed to prevent operatives trapping their feet when bringing a lift back down - please call us and ask for details.
Concrete shall have a compression of 3500 PSI and a minimum thickness of 4 inches, with 12 feet Minimum Clearance to Obstruction in front and back of Center of Post. 6 feet Minimum Clearance to Obstruction from Centerline of Structure.
