Choosing the Right Automotive Workshop Equipment
When selecting workshop equipment, several factors should be considered to ensure the right fit for your operation.
Workshop Capacity
Choose equipment suitable for the types of vehicles your workshop services and the daily volume of work your team handles.
Safety and Compliance
Equipment must meet industry safety standards and provide reliable performance under heavy and consistent use.
Efficiency and Workflow
The right equipment improves technician productivity, supports smoother workshop flow and helps reduce service times.
Durability
Workshop equipment should be built for long term operation in demanding service environments where reliability matters.

Automotive Workshop Equipment FAQs
What does a workshop need before a vehicle hoist is installed?
Every installation starts with a site assessment. Our team checks the bay, the floor space and the vehicles you service, then recommends the hoist type and plans where it sits alongside your benches, hose reels and other equipment. The assessment also confirms what the site needs before installation, so the work can be scheduled without surprises.
Should I choose a 2 post hoist, a 4 post hoist or mobile column lifts?
2 post hoists suit compact bays and lift both smaller and larger vehicles. 4 post hoists give maximum stability for trucks, buses and heavy vehicles. Mobile column lifts move between bays to lift trucks and buses. We recommend the right type during the site assessment.
How long does installation take?
It depends on the equipment and the site, and we confirm the timeline in your quote after the site assessment. As a guide, many of our prefabricated drop-in service pits are installed within a five-day window, so the bay is out of service for days rather than weeks.
Do your brake testers and axle play detectors meet NHVR and ADR requirements?
Yes. Our roller brake testers are built to meet ADR and NHVR standards for brake performance testing, and our axle play detectors support NHVR-compliant steering and suspension inspections. Each installation includes calibration and compliance documentation.
Who services and calibrates the equipment after installation?
Our own trained technicians. After-sales support covers servicing, calibration, technical support and operator training, with service and maintenance support available nationwide.
Which equipment brands does A-FLO install?
Recent A-FLO projects include MAHA brake testers, Stertil-Koni mobile column truck lifts, Mammut jack stands and heavy vehicle jacks, and RAASM lubrication equipment, which carries a 10 year warranty. Our case studies list the equipment installed at each site.
