Frequently Asked Questions

At minimum, once per year. ANSI/ALI ALOIM:2020 — the national standard for automotive lift safety — requires annual inspection by a qualified lift inspector. OSHA recognizes and enforces this standard. High-use lifts or lifts in demanding environments may warrant more frequent checks.

Yes. OSHA does not have a separate lift-specific standard, but it enforces the ANSI/ALI ALOIM standard as the recognized industry consensus. Annual inspection by a qualified technician is required under this framework.

All of them. The ANSI standard applies to every automotive lift regardless of type — 2-post, 4-post, scissor, in-ground, mobile column, and specialty lifts. Age and brand do not exempt a lift from the annual inspection requirement.

A full inspection covers structural integrity, anchors and anchor bolts, cables and pulleys, hydraulic system condition, safety lock function, lift arms and pads, electrical components and interlocks, travel limit switches, and load labels. Lifts that fail are documented and must be corrected before returning to service.

The inspector documents the findings and the lift should be taken out of service until the issue is corrected. Alamo can diagnose and repair most lift issues in the same visit or schedule a follow-up service call.
