Buying a vehicle hoist can be one of the most confusing purchases anyone can make. With over 27 years experience in hoists we hope to make that decision easier for you. Please peruse the following pages with our product range and general hoist industry information.
It is with great concern we are noticing an increasing trend for some competitors to promote their products with greatly exaggerated capacity claims along with claims of "Workcover approvals or compliance" One competitor is even advertising as "Workcover quality approved". Another competitor is claiming approvals on a hoist that does not have a slack chain safety device fitted!
FACTS:
There is no such thing as "Workcover approval"
A Workcover design registration form is not proof of Australian compliance or any indication that hoist is safe or legal to use in any state or territory.
Without independent third party verification of design and testing to an appropriate RECOGNIZED world standard, weight capacity claims are meaningless.
At Tufflift we do not exaggerate the capacity of our hoists. Our hoists are not only third party tested and verified, they are backed by the worlds largest automotive lift manufacturer and supported in Australia by Australia's largest Vehicle hoist importer.
PRESS RELEASE:
Rotary Lift® Consolidated Acquires Hanmecson® International
RLC Now Has Manufacturing Facilities on Three Continents
By acquiring Hanmecson, the best-selling hoist brand in Asia and Australia, Rotary
Lift Consolidated is well-positioned to meet the expanding customer
needs of this rapidly growing market. Another Hanmecson brand, Direct
Lift®, is the leader in the residential and enthusiast market
in North America.
For several years prior to the purchase, Hanmecson had been a manufacturing supplier to RLC for some hoist models and components.
RLC is owned by The Dover Corporation
We have explained for the last several years that our Hanmecson and
Direct Lift hoists were manufactured to the same exacting standards as some
of the "better known" hoist companies. Now we can share the
secret. All hoist are NOT built the same! There are similarities in the
appearance of most above ground hoists, but the DIRECT LIFT and HANMECSON HOISTS are built to standards that far exceed those standards
incorporated by most other Asian lift manufacturers. Remember that when you buy a Direct Lift or a Hanmecson hoist from Tufflift, you are buying a quality piece of equipment
manufactured to exacting standards that far exceed other Asian
"Economy" hoists.
Why would you buy from anyone else?
We bring you the best value hoists from the world largest hoist manufacturer. We have been in business longer and have more experience than any other hoist importer. We are the hoist industry experts.
