For repair shops, dealerships, and service centers, automotive lifts are essential. They keep vehicles moving through the shop, support technician safety, and directly impact customer trust. But without proper inspection and preventative care, lifts can become a major liability. That’s why ALI-certified inspections are the industry standard — and why United Uptime provides this service to help operators stay safe, compliant, and productive.
The Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) sets the benchmark for lift safety and compliance. An ALI inspection is a detailed, standardized assessment performed by a certified inspector trained to evaluate every aspect of lift performance. Inspectors check for mechanical wear, electrical integrity, and hydraulic function to ensure lifts meet OSHA and ANSI requirements.
Choosing an ALI-certified provider like United Uptime means your shop is backed by inspectors who are not only trained and tested but also experienced in recognizing risks before they become costly failures.
Lifts handle heavy loads every day, and even small failures can result in serious accidents. ALI inspections identify hazards early, from worn cables to hydraulic leaks, reducing risks to technicians and vehicles. Regular inspections build a safer work environment and peace of mind for everyone in the shop.
Many states require regular lift inspections, and OSHA and ANSI standards make compliance non-negotiable. Missed inspections can mean fines, legal exposure, or even forced downtime. ALI inspections from United Uptime keep your shop compliant and your records audit-ready.
Automotive lifts are a major investment. Routine ALI inspections catch wear before it becomes a failure, reducing emergency repairs and extending lift life. The result: fewer disruptions, more predictable budgets, and better ROI on equipment.
Downtime slows productivity and frustrates customers. A lift that’s out of service for even a day can bottleneck an entire shop. ALI inspections ensure lifts run reliably, helping you maintain throughput, technician efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
