Garage equipment & tools 28 www.aftermarketonline.net APRIL 2026 The right lift still defines workshop performance A pair of new two-post lifts from Hofmann Megaplan has been introduced, designed to help independent garages deal with the challenges faced in today’s workshop environments. I n today’s workshop environment, efficiency isn’t optional; it’s expected. Increasing vehicle complexity, tighter turnaround times and constant pressure on productivity mean every piece of equipment must deliver. At the centre of it all is the lift. Hofmann Megaplan has supported workshops across the UK with real-world lifting solutions for many years. Their focus is on producing equipment that performs consistently, day in and day out, and they say the latest LUXUS HML40 and HML55 two-post lifts are designed with that in mind. A key feature the company believes sets the LUXUS range apart is the integrated power post, a practical addition designed for how modern workshops operate. With technicians increasingly relying on battery-powered tools, diagnostic equipment and support units, having accessible power at the lift makes a real difference. From charging battery guns between jobs to powering battery support units during programming, or even keeping diagnostic devices and mobile equipment running, it’s a small detail that delivers everyday convenience and efficiency. Hofmann Megaplan says that because the lifts are engineered for strength, stability and ease of use, both models provide the reliable lifting performance modern workshops depend on. With lifting capacities suited to cars and light commercial vehicles, they deliver smooth, controlled operation and clear under-vehicle access, which should help technicians work efficiently across a wide range of service and repair tasks. The HML40 is positioned as a versatile, everyday lifting solution, ideal for general workshop use. The HML55 offers increased lifting capacity, making it suitable for higher workloads or for workshops that regularly handle heavier vehicles. Both models feature robust steel construction, designed to withstand the demands of continuous use, alongside a baseless design that improves floor access, reduces trip hazards and allows greater flexibility when positioning vehicles and equipment. But lifting performance is only part of the equation. Every lift is supported by Hofmann Megaplan’s engineering network, a nationwide team responsible for installation, servicing and ongoing maintenance. This has been designed to ensure equipment continues to perform long after installation, helping workshops minimise downtime and maintain productivity. For operators looking to upgrade or expand, the combination of proven lifting capability, practical design and dependable support makes the LUXUS range a strong fit for modern workshop demands. Because in a busy workshop, the lift isn’t just another piece of equipment; it’s the foundation that everything else depends on. www.garage-assist.com/brands/ hofmann-megaplan The LUXUS HML40 from Hofmann Megaplan is positioned as a solid everyday lifting solution The LUXUS HML55 offers increased lifting capacity compared with the HML40
