Automotive lifts are often one of the most expensive and valuable tools in your shop. It can be overwhelming to conduct annual inspections to protect this investment, especially if you have multiple locations. If you work with a non-ALI-certified inspector or use the same vendor for both inspection and repairs, it can lead to a conflict of interest and higher repair costs.

Reliable Annual Lift Inspections

- Ensure a safe work environment for technicians
- Avoid damage to a customer's vehicle and company property
- Comply with requirements from insurance companies, OSHA and other governing authorities

To eliminate vehicle lift risks and hazards, DEKRA also offers onsite operator training. Our knowledgeable professionals teach operators how to:
