The maintenance landscape for modern transport fleets has evolved rapidly, driven by the increasing prevalence of low-floor buses, electric vans, and articulated trailers. These specialised vehicles demand equally sophisticated equipment, and column lifts have become the cornerstone of safe, efficient servicing for such configurations. Designed to accommodate limited ground...
Hydraulic passenger lifts are essential for providing accessible and safe transport in South Africa, especially when accommodating wheelchair users or medical‑transport scenarios. Selecting the right control system, whether open‑loop or closed‑loop, can make a substantial difference in comfort, efficiency and compliance. This article explores how these philosophies differ, the...
In the bustling automotive hubs of the Eastern Cape, where factories like those in Nelson Mandela Bay operate on razor-thin margins, a truck lift system failure can transform a routine delivery into a catastrophe. As of October 2025, South Africa’s logistics sector, valued at USD 14.7 billion and projected...
Van lifts are transforming the way logistics companies approach last-mile delivery by improving efficiency, safety, and cost management. Incorporating van lifts into delivery operations allows businesses to handle heavy, bulky, or fragile items more effectively, reduce manual handling risks, and maintain consistent delivery schedules. Proper integration of van lifts...
South Africa’s freight transport sector demands high efficiency due to increasing volumes of goods and tight delivery schedules.
