When a lift goes down, the bay stops earning. automotive lift rental is our core work – hydraulic power units, cylinders, cables, and controls nationwide. We diagnose the actual cause instead of guessing, and we service the lift brands shops actually run.
What we fix
Hydraulic leaks, worn cylinders, failed pump motors, blown solenoids, stretched or broken cables, bad locks, and control faults. If a lift is leaking, stuck, drifting down, or throwing safety locks, that is squarely our work.
automotive lift rental from a hydraulics-first crew
Most lift downtime is hydraulic. Because that is our background, automotive lift rental means a tech who diagnoses the power unit and cylinders correctly the first time – less time on the clock and a better shot at a one-visit fix.
Brands and parts
We service Rotary, Forward, Challenger, BendPak, Atlas, Mohawk, and more, and we source hydraulic and lift parts across brands so an older or off-brand lift is rarely a dead end.
Where we work
We are based in Iowa and support shops across the country. Some work we do on site regionally; for the rest of the U.S. we handle equipment, parts, and phone diagnosis, and we coordinate service calls where it makes sense. Call and we will tell you honestly what we can do for your location.
We would rather give you a straight answer than overpromise a truck roll that does not make sense. Tell us where you are and what you need.
Automotive Lift Rental – FAQ
How fast can you get to a down lift?
We prioritize down lifts because a dead bay is lost revenue. Call us with the brand, model, and symptom and we will schedule the soonest service window we can.
My lift is leaking hydraulic fluid – can you fix it?
Yes. Hydraulic leaks – hoses, cylinders, fittings, and seals – are our most common repair. We find the source instead of just topping off fluid.
It won't go up (or won't come down). What's wrong?
Usually a cable, valve, or hydraulic holding problem. A lift that will not lower is often a stuck lock or a valve issue, both routine fixes for us.
Do you work on lifts you didn't sell?
Yes. We repair the common brands – Rotary, Forward, Challenger, BendPak, Atlas, Mohawk and more – regardless of where you bought the lift.
