Service & Certification FAQs

What is included in vehicle hoist servicing certification?

A complete workshop fit out starts with listening to the client and understanding their business and equipment needs. This leads into specifying what equipment is fits their requirements, and how their workshop could be laid out. Installation, certification and training follows on from this, along with an ongoing service plan. Hoist & Garage manages the entire process as one integrated solution so the client is not chasing multiple vendors.

AS/NZS 2550.9:1996 is the Australian and New Zealand standard that sets out the safety requirements for lifting equipment, including vehicle hoists. It covers how equipment should be installed, inspected, and maintained to ensure it can be operated safely. For workshop owners, it’s important because it defines the standard your equipment needs to meet to remain safe and compliant.

Most vehicle hoists require annual servicing and certification as a minimum. Hoists in higher-use or older installations may require more frequent checks. We can recommend a schedule based on your equipment and usage.
