Don't Leave Garage Safety To Chance
Protect your mechanics and ensure total PUWER and LOLER compliance with the SG World fixed vehicle lift inspection pad. Available now.
The Danger of Fixed Vehicle Lifts
Working under vehicles is a high-risk job. The HSE reports 1.62 deaths per 100,000 workers in motor vehicle repair. That is four times higher than the UK industry average.
Most fatal accidents happen when vehicles are not supported correctly. Equipment failure, damaged pads, or broken locks cause serious accidents. Daily checks are a legal requirement under PUWER, and they keep your staff safe.
One Inspection Pad for Fixed Lifting Equipment
We have designed a single pre-use inspection book specifically for fixed workshop lifts. The front cover includes space to clearly record the vehicle lift type and load capacity.
The pad covers the vital daily checks for:
- Two-post lifts
- Four-post lifts
- Scissor lifts
- In-ground lifts
Instant Visual Safety Status
A paper checklist in a filing cabinet does not stop someone from using a faulty lift. Our inspection pad works with the standard SG World Pass/Fail yellow visual paddle system.
When the daily check is done, the status goes straight into the inspecton paddle which is attached to the lift. A green 'Pass' shows it is safe to use. A highly visible 'Fail' acts as a clear warning to the entire workshop that the lift has failed its inspection and must not be used.

Catch Faults Before They Cause Accidents
Before Operating
Confirm the operator is trained, the LOLER examination is in date, and the load capacity is clearly displayed.
Condition & Anchors
Check the safety locks are completely undamaged and the concrete base and anchor bolts are secure.
Hydraulic System
Look over the lift for hydraulic fluid leaks and inspect all hoses and cylinders for cracks or bulges.
Controls & Electrical
Make sure the controls function correctly and test that the Emergency Stop button works straight away.
Lift Test (No Vehicle)
Run the lift empty to ensure it raises and lowers smoothly with no unusual noises during operation.
Before Lifting a Vehicle
Verify the correct lifting points are used, pads are positioned right, and safety locks engage before working underneath.
