From mobile column lifts to platform and specialist heavy-duty lifting systems, Iron Lift supplies professional workshop solutions for transport, fleet, mining, government and industrial operators across Australia.
Heavy-Duty Workshop Solutions
Heavy vehicle workshops demand more than simply greater lifting capacity. The right lifting system needs to suit the vehicles being serviced, workshop layout, axle configuration, operating environment, access requirements and the way technicians work.
Iron Lift supplies heavy-duty vehicle lifting solutions for truck, bus, transport, fleet, mining and specialist workshops. From flexible mobile column systems through to permanent platform and in-ground installations, Iron Lift can help identify a solution suited to the operation.
Support can continue beyond delivery, with equipment selection, supply, installation, commissioning, servicing, safety inspections, repairs and spare parts support available according to the equipment and project.
Heavy Vehicle Lifting Systems
Different workshops require different ways of lifting. Explore the principal heavy-vehicle lifting systems available through Iron Lift.
Flexible, high-capacity lifting that can be moved between bays and configured for different heavy vehicles.
Runway and platform systems for high-throughput fleet, bus and commercial workshops.
Integrated systems for purpose-built facilities where workshop access and floor-space efficiency matter.
Vehicle stands, adaptors, ramps, crossbeams and other equipment used around heavy-vehicle lifting.
Flexible Heavy Vehicle Lifting
Mobile column lifts allow commercial vehicles to be raised without permanently committing a workshop bay to a fixed hoist. Columns are positioned at the vehicle wheels and operate together as a synchronised system. Depending on the manufacturer and configuration, multiple columns can be used for different axle counts, vehicle lengths and heavy-duty applications.
For many fleet workshops, the result is excellent underbody access plus the ability to reposition or store the lifting system when it is not required.

Australian-Made Feature
Endurequip Portalift is designed and manufactured in Australia for heavy-vehicle workshop use. Current manufacturer information lists a 7.5 tonne capacity per column, with 4, 6, 8 and 10-column configurations and systems up to 75 tonnes in the 10-column configuration.
Stertil-Koni
Stertil-Koni offers mobile column lifts across a broad range of per-column capacities, together with platform and in-ground heavy-duty lifting systems. The current mobile-column range spans approximately 6,500 kg to 17,500 kg per column, depending on model and market availability.
Whether the requirement is flexible mobile lifting or a purpose-designed permanent workshop installation, Iron Lift can help assess the application and determine a suitable system.
Buyer Guide
Capacity is important, but it is only one part of selecting a suitable lifting system.
Understand the vehicle mass and realistic operating loads.
Individual axle loads can be as important as total vehicle mass.
Axle count affects lift type and mobile-column configuration.
Wheel diameter, width and special tyre arrangements matter.
Long vehicles may require different bay and lifting arrangements.
Plan for the heaviest and most demanding realistic fleet use.
Floor condition, space and access influence equipment suitability.
Confirm equipment ratings for the intended operating environment.
Match the lift type to the service work technicians need to perform.
Power requirements differ between lift technologies and models.
Decide whether the lift must move between bays or sites.
Consider how often the equipment will lift vehicles each day.

Frequently Asked Questions
A heavy vehicle hoist is a lifting system designed for commercial and specialist vehicles such as trucks, buses, coaches and other high-mass vehicles. Depending on the application, it may use mobile columns, platforms, runways or an in-ground design.
Individual lifting columns are positioned at the vehicle wheels and operate as a coordinated lifting system, providing clear underbody access without a permanently installed lift in the bay.
The required number depends on vehicle configuration, axle count, axle loading and the selected system. Four columns are common, while longer or heavier vehicles may require additional columns.
Capacity varies significantly by system and manufacturer. Selection should account for total mass, axle loads, wheel dimensions and vehicle configuration, not only an overall capacity figure.
Wireless systems are available, while some manufacturers also offer cabled or other control arrangements. The right option depends on the equipment and workshop.
Often yes, particularly with mobile columns, provided each vehicle remains within the manufacturer's capacity, wheel and configuration limits.
Installation and commissioning support is available according to the equipment, site and project location.
Iron Lift can assess servicing, inspection, repair and parts requirements across a range of heavy-vehicle lifting equipment. Send us the manufacturer, model and serial number.
Iron Lift can assist with lifting-equipment selection and workshop equipment planning so the lifting solution is considered alongside vehicle dimensions, floor conditions, access and workflow.
Give Iron Lift the key vehicle and workshop details and we can help identify a suitable heavy-duty lifting solution.
Photos of the vehicle, wheels, workshop or project drawings can help us understand the application.
