Autolift Ltd

Autolift Ltd is the UK’s foremost specialist in the design and manufacture of commercial vehicle pit jacks, jacking systems, and beams. Our mission is to supply workshops and fleets servicing heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), trucks, buses, and coaches (PSV) with safe, reliable, and cost-effective lifting solutions.

A family-owned business, Autolift has built its legacy over more than 25 years of engineering innovation and hands-on expertise. Our roots in the UK ensure every product is engineered, manufactured, assembled, and quality-tested to exacting British standards. Over time, the name “Autolift” has become synonymous with performance, dependability, and longevity in commercial vehicle lifting.

What We Do

Design & Manufacture

We specialise in the full development and production of pit jacks, jacking beams, spreader beams, and associated lifting systems. Our approach embraces:

• Purpose-built solutions — We tailor our designs to meet individual pit widths, load requirements, and workshop constraints.

• Robust engineering — Our heavy-duty mechanics and hydraulic/air systems are crafted to stand up to daily use in demanding commercial environments.

• Multiple configurations — Whether a customer needs manual, air-assisted, or hydraulic assist, we offer variants to match operational preferences and workloads.

By maintaining complete control over design and fabrication in the UK, we maintain consistent quality, fast iteration, and excellent part support.

Product Portfolio

Our breadth of products ensures that workshops can source all their commercial lifting needs from a single, trusted supplier:

• Twin Ram Pit Jacks — Available in capacities from 13, 20, 30 and 40 tonnes.

• Single Ram Pit Jacks — Offered in 15 and 20 Tonne capacities with 400mm or 750mm lifting strokes.

• Jacking Beam - For use on a 4 post lift.

• Floor Jacks — Models with 15 T or 20 T capacity and lifting strokes up to 750 mm are offered.

• Transmission Jacks — Heavy-duty 1.5 tonne units with universal headplates for gearbox work.

• Spreader Beams — For lifting across vehicle frames when more than a single jack point is needed or the lifting points are beyond the edge of the pit.

• Accessories & Spare Parts — Seals, valves, safety devices, replacement pistons, and more — all engineered to fit our systems.

These offerings are available with adjustable or fixed stroke options, and we provide custom adaptations when required. For example, our 13/20 tonne adjustable air twin ram pit jack offers flexible height adjustment and comes with multiple built-in safety features. 

Safety, Reliability & Innovation

Safety is a core pillar of our design philosophy. All pit jacks are equipped with safety lowering valves, anti-burst valves, and fail-safe mechanisms to protect operators during lowering or in the event of power hydraulic pressure in the system. 

Our products undergo rigorous testing under load, stroke cycles, and environmental stresses to ensure longevity and consistency in performance. This ensures that, when deployed in commercial workshops, the risk of failure, breakdown, or downtime is minimised.

Service, Support & After-Sales

Our commitment to customers extends well beyond delivery:

• Servicing & Repairs — Autolift provides full overhaul, maintenance, and repair for our pit jacks at our UK facility.

• On-site Support — We partner with authorised distributors across the country who can carry out inspections, maintenance, and servicing in situ, helping you reduce downtime.

• Spare Parts Availability — Because we manufacture in the UK, spare parts are readily available and can often be shipped or delivered quickly.

• Preventative Maintenance Plans — We offer scheduled servicing packages, inspections, and refurbishment programs to help extend the life of your equipment and maintain safety compliance.

Autolift Ltd is more than a manufacturer — we are a lifelong partner for commercial vehicle workshops. Whether you’re fitting a new inspection pit, upgrading lifting infrastructure, or maintaining your existing jacks.
