The lift uses a 2.2kw single-phase power unit and as such we fit them with “male” 16 amp commando plugs. To use this lift, customers require a “female” 16 amp socket to plug it into. Due to the inrush current when the motor first turns, this socket must be installed with a motor-rated fuse (16C or 16D type fuse) in the consumer unit feeding it. You will find if you do not have the correct fuse and run the LGX35 on a 13 amp fuse instead, that it may operate without load. However, as soon as you put load on it, the fuse will blow.

No licence is needed. However, training to use a scissor lift is recommended. The only legal regulations for UK vehicle lifts concern maintaining the lift itself.   All vehicle lifts must undergo a regular examination by a competent person. This means an inspection before the first use and every 6 months after that (HSE803/69). Inspections should also take place following ‘exceptional circumstances’ e.g. a failure, damage or after long periods of being out of use. A competent person is an objective employee of a specialist maintenance company or vehicle lift supplier, who has enough knowledge and experience of vehicle lifts to detect defects, wear or weaknesses and assess their importance to safety and continued use. This should not be the same person who performs routine maintenance, to ensure they are sufficiently impartial in decision-making.

At Lift Giant, we supply 2-post car lifts as well as:

• Four-post car lifts
• Extra-tall four-post car lifts
• Triple stacker car lifts
• and Double-wide car lifts

Our scissor lifts use hydraulics and eccentric cams to provide strong suspension. The control system pumps hydraulic fluid into a cylinder which pushes the pistons outwards. This piston causes the scissor legs to push apart, applying upward pressure. The eccentric cam system allows the opposite leg to lift over the stays in the lift base. These stays securely hold the lift when elevated.

By taking out a car lift maintenance contract, you ensure your car lift is regularly serviced and that you can contact us for repairs as needed.
At Lift Giant, we provide third-party car lift servicing as well as maintenance for our customers. Any car lift owner can hire our team for car lift servicing, repositioning or maintenance whether they bought the lift from us or not.

No, delivery and installation are not included in our prices.
We offer three different levels of service:

Supply only: Customers can collect parking lifts from our depot in Redditch to then assemble themselves.

Delivery only: We require the postcode of the customer’s property and ask if they have any unloading facilities such as forklift, as well as if it is residential or commercial. From this, we can work out the size of the delivery vehicle required and then quote based on this. Each delivery job is quoted individually as many factors go into the delivery price. We make sure we have the resources to meet the individual needs of the customer.

Delivery and Installation: As well as delivering the parking lift, we unload, assemble and install your parking lift for you, ensuring we have the right tools for the job. Like delivery only, we offer personalised quotes for this service so that we can provide the right level of service for each job.
