Hofmann Equipment

Hofmann builds wheel service and lifting equipment, including tire changers, wheel balancers, scissor lifts in surface and flush-mount configurations, four-post alignment lifts, and alignment-related equipment. Alamo carries the Hofmann line across those categories.

Hofmann is a long-established name in wheel balancing and wheel service equipment, widely used in dealership and high-volume tire operations. The lifting side of the line is oriented toward alignment-capable configurations.

The Hofmann lifts in this collection include 12,000 lb and 14,000 lb class scissor alignment lifts in both surface and flush-mount versions, plus four-post alignment lifts, including short-bay configurations for constrained spaces. Alamo can help match a configuration to your bay dimensions.

A configuration designed to fit alignment capability into a bay shorter than a standard alignment lane requires. It is the practical option when the shop wants to offer alignment but the building will not accommodate a full-length rack.

Several Hofmann scissor lifts appear in the ALI certified collections. Certification is model-specific rather than brand-wide, so verify the exact model against ALI's public directory at autolift.org if certification is required for your shop.

Correct — Alamo carries Hofmann replacement parts including balancer cones and adapters, tire changer components, and alignment parts. Provide the machine model and serial number for the correct part.

Wheel service machines need level floor, shop air, and appropriate electrical supply. Flush-mount lifts require concrete cutting and pit preparation, which must be planned alongside the equipment order. Plan concrete cutting and pit work alongside the equipment order, not after it arrives.

By LTL freight. Lifts and wheel service machines are heavy and require equipment to move into position. Arrange receiving capability in advance and inspect for freight damage before signing the delivery receipt.
