Installation & Service

We install it. We come back and fix it.

Buying equipment is the easy part. What matters over the next fifteen years is who shows up when it stops working. Our own factory trained technicians do both.

What are you dealing with?

Four very different situations, four very different right answers. Pick one.

Do not fill out a form

If a bay is down, calling is faster than anything else on this page. Same day response is often available across the territory.

Get a technician moving

Our technicians work on every make and model of lift, not only the lines we sell. Same goes for heaters, compressors and exhaust systems.

  • Lift repair, every make and model
  • Waste oil heater and boiler burner service
  • Air and lubrication system repair
  • Exhaust system repair

Get on the schedule

The predictable work. Booking it early costs less and interrupts less than waiting until something forces the issue.

  • ALI Certified lift inspections, annually, every make of lift
  • Waste oil heater and boiler cleaning, ahead of the heating season
  • Preventive maintenance scheduling
  • Multiple items handled in a single visit

Start with a site visit

The most useful first step. We measure the bay, check the slab and the ceiling, and find the expensive surprises while they are still cheap to solve.

  • Shop layout and build-out planning
  • Equipment specified against your vehicle mix and bay count
  • Full shop build-outs, coordinated from quote to startup
  • Financing, and quotes formatted for purchase order requirements
  • Discounts when install and purchase are bundled

Parts

Have the make, model and serial number ready if you can find it. That is what identifies the right component on the first call.

  • Parts and accessories for the lines we carry
  • Replacement parts for lifts, heaters, air and lubrication systems
  • Tell us if the unit is down and we will treat it that way

Installation

Common questions

Before you call

Do you service equipment you did not sell?

Yes. Our technicians work on every make and model of lift, not only the lines we carry. Same for heaters, compressors and exhaust systems.

How fast can you get here?

It depends where you are in the territory and what is already on the board. Same day response is often available. Call 518.766.7676 and we will tell you honestly rather than guess.

Can you install a lift in an existing building?

Usually, but the slab and ceiling height decide it. That is what the site visit is for. We would rather find a slab problem before the equipment ships than after.

Do you handle concrete and electrical work?

Scope varies. Some projects we coordinate end to end, others we work alongside your own contractors. Either way it gets defined at the site visit, not mid-install.

Do you offer training on new equipment?

Yes. On-site and same-day training for new and used equipment, including operator and service department walk-throughs.

Is there a discount if I buy and install through you?

Yes, install and purchase bundled prices better than buying them separately. Ask when you request the quote.

Get started

02We match it to a factory-trained technician and give you a time window.
