What is included in vehicle hoist servicing certification?
A vehicle hoist certification is a full annual safety and structural inspection, carried out on site at your workshop, to confirm the lift meets the required standards. Here’s what our technicians check:
Structure and foundation
Mechanical and safety systems
Hydraulic and pneumatic systems
Operational testing and records
If anything fails, we’ll tell you what’s needed and, where possible, fix it on site. We’ll also keep the records and remind you when the next certification is due.
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.
