Automotive Lift Safety
The Nationwide, ALI-Certified Lift Inspection Network You Can Trust
A global leader in safety, DEKRA offers an unbiased perspective and the most trustworthy lift inspections in the industry.
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
