When Things Go Wrong

EEven well-maintained equipment eventually fails. Seals wear, switches drift, wiring fatigues, components move beyond tolerance. When it happens, the difference between a quick resolution and a drawn-out problem is accurate diagnosis.

We’ve been repairing vehicle hoists and workshop equipment for almost thirty years. That depth of experience means fewer wrong turns, less guesswork, and realistic advice about what’s worth repairing — and what isn’t.

Behind that experience is a substantial body of accumulated knowledge: technical documentation, model-specific failure history, and practical solutions refined through years of field work. This allows us to identify faults quickly, focus repairs where they matter, and avoid unnecessary work.

The result is less downtime, repairs that last, and solutions scaled to suit the machine and the business relying on it.

Repair work in progress

Diagnostic Expertise

Modern workshop equipment involves hydraulics, electrics, PLCs, safety interlocks, and mechanical systems all working together. Pinpointing a fault requires understanding how these systems interact — not just swapping parts until something works.

Our approach is diagnostic first. We take the time to understand what has failed and why — empowering you to act decisively.

This approach shortens downtime, reduces unnecessary parts replacement, and avoids repeat failures.

Diagnostic work

Mechanical, Hydraulic, and Electrical Expertise

Our repair capability spans the full range of systems found in modern hoists and workshop equipment, including:

  • Mechanical structures and wear components
  • Hydraulic systems, seals, valves, and load behaviour
  • Electrical systems, limit circuits, and safety logic
  • Control systems and fault-finding at component level

We invest in diagnostic equipment and ongoing training to keep our knowledge current. When we tell you what's wrong, it's because we've confirmed it — not because it's the most convenient assumption.

Mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical expertise

Electronic and Wireless Systems

Many modern machines rely on electronic and wireless communication — particularly independent heavy‑column hoists, wheel balancers, and alignment systems.

These systems require a different skillset to diagnose properly. We’ve developed that capability over many years, including experience with signal integrity, interference, and PCB‑level fault identification.

For precision circuit board repair, we work closely with a specialist sister company with exceptional capability. This allows us to offer board‑level repairs that are simply not available through most field service providers.

Parts, Sourcing and Fabrication

We carry a broad range of common spares on our service vehicles and maintain established supply lines for harder‑to‑find components.

Where parts are obsolete or unavailable, we can often fabricate, adapt, or source suitable equivalents — drawing on decades of industry relationships and practical knowledge.

Parts and consumables

Straight Answers

Not every machine should be repaired.

If equipment is beyond economic repair, or approaching that point, we’ll tell you plainly. Our role is to give you clear information so you can make the right decision — whether that’s repair, replacement, rental, or sourcing quality second‑hand equipment.

Straight answers save time, money, and frustration.
