Automotive Lift Inspections in Simi Valley
Automotive Lifts pose a serious danger in your shop when they are in need of repair or maintenance because they are heavy equipment. A vehicle can easily fall and crush your service technician or customer in only a split second’s notice. Indeed, every year over 15,000 accidents that cause hospitalization or death come from lift related accidents and this does NOT include the countless of accidents that are handled without involving a hospital or insurance company.
In fact, during this last year, we have been called out to service and inspect many failed lifts that have either caused damage or is about to. This is a lot more common than you could imagine. Sometimes, it doesn’t just end in damaging the vehicle; it ends in death. An automotive lift inspection is only a minuscule cost when compared to an Automotive Lift disaster caused by a serious accident.
For example:
- A 30 Year-old man sustains life-threatening injuries when a lift with a Ford Escort
collapses.
- A 19 Year-old man has his fingers amputated when the vehicle on the lift he was
operating tipped while he was adjusting the kick out device.
- A 28 Year-old man died when the lift he was operating failed and the vehicle fell and crushed him.
Here is a small sampling of the accidents listed on this OSHA claims website:

Lifts fail and cause accidents all the time, and the causes of failure vary. Some lifts fail because of improper installation, improper use by the operator, poor maintenance (yes, lifts require maintenance), and even poor manufacturing. To keep your shop safer, it becomes imperative to conduct regular safety inspections and maintenance.
That’s what our Lift Inspector, Craig Heidenthal, does for shops like yours. Craig has 
over 30 years of automotive service equipment experience and has owned Service Tech for over 20 years. In that time, he has conducted hundreds (maybe thousands) of inspections on vehicle lifts with the guidance in his completion of the OSHA Safety Program. This experience makes him a true expert in this field. Craig conducts safety inspections on lifts for very large companies with their own fleets as well as many municipal automotive service shops. Craig has also been called upon to regularly inspect the vehicle lifts of an underground gold mine in Nevada. Avoid the disaster that could cost your company $1,000’s or $1,000,000’s. Invest in a simple lift inspection annually to get the peace of mind you deserve from knowing your lifts are working the way they are supposed to. Another important point to mention relates to employee training. Every lift is different, and often your lift operators are not trained well enough to operate the lifts properly.
This is a common issue that causes accidents regularly. Service Tech provides operator training to ensure you are keeping your staff safer when operating this heavy equipment. Training can be scheduled as a group, saving you money or individually. This training can also be performed at the same time as the lift inspection, which can save you even more money.
