Liftmaster Ltd Originally, it was planned to sell Bendpak lifts from the Head Office in Alton and the warehouse in Wakefield, to a small number of selected distributors.

Liftmaster provides a large range of garage equipment including: 2-Post lifts, 4-Post lifts, Scissor lifts, Alignment lifts, Secondary Scissor lifts, MOT bays & equipment, commercial ramps & equipment, parts and also a repair and warranty service. Liftmaster has been providing robust & reliable garage equipment through a national network of distributors and directly to commercial and trade garages since 1985. A privately owned and family run business, Liftmaster Garage Equipment Ltd was established in 1985, under the previous trading name of ā€œSouth Eastern Tools Ltd.ā€ After twenty successful years, the directors recognised a place in the market for a range of robust and reliable vehicles lifts. This situation changed very quickly because of the quality and attractive pricing of the equipment and the enthusiastic level of service from our staff. Liftmaster developed an ongoing policy of recruiting the most experienced people available, and of identifying and adding new products to the range.This policy of expansion led to moving to larger premises in 2007, achieving sole distributorship in the UK for Bendpak in 2008, and at the same time the name was changed to Liftmaster Garage Equipment Ltd. The Company, with larger premises, now offers a national coverage of very experienced Area Managers who can plan and project manage all customers requirements for vehicle lifts, MOT and ATF testing bays, commercial vehicle service equipment, wheel service and wheel alignment equipment. Our Area Managers are supported by experienced and knowledgeable office staff, together with field based service and installation engineers, all of whom are GEA approved. When necessary, Liftmaster can call on GEA approved sub contractors, covering the country.

Five stars on Trustpilot, and the credit goes straight to the team on the ground.

Our customer booked in a ramp installation and singled out our engineer Andrew Mason for going above and beyond. The team arrived early, kept the whole job to schedule, and checked everything to a high standard before sign-off.

That is the standard we hold on every install, from a single two-post lift to a full workshop fit-out.

If you are planning a ramp or lift installation, talk to the team.

SERMI is live in the UK. From 1 April 2026, independent garages can access manufacturer security data, previously restricted to franchised dealers.

Twenty-two manufacturers are in from day one, including JLR, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota. One certificate, five years of access. The UK is the first non-EU market to go live.

This opens up a new category of work: immobiliser programming, key replacement, and vehicle access control on modern vehicles. Accreditation is managed through sermi.co.uk via Digidentity.

Thinking about what equipment your workshop needs to take advantage. Talk to us.

26/05/2026

The UK EV Mandate requires manufacturers to sell a rising share of zero-emission new cars every year. 33% in 2026, up from 28% in 2025, and 80% by 2030. Manufacturers below target pay £15,000 per car and £18,000 per van.

The result is hard discounting and aggressive supply, which pushes EVs into the parc faster than the natural replacement cycle. Those cars come straight into independent workshops and MOT bays.

Two things change for any workshop. The vehicles are heavier. A mid-size EV weighs 300 to 500kg more than its petrol equivalent because of the battery pack. Lifts, jacks and beam lifts specced to the old petrol norm sit closer to their safe working limit on every job.

And the equipment standard is moving with it. DVSA Special Notice 04-25 raised minimum jacking specs for class 4 MOT bays in April 2026. It is the first formal update of many.

If you run an MOT bay, the test itself changed in January 2026. High-voltage cables, charging ports and traction battery mountings are now standard checks on every EV test.

And the volume is here now. 2023 was the breakthrough year for UK EV registrations, with 314,000 new EVs, more than 2020 and 2021 combined. That cohort hits its first MOT this year.

Liftmaster specifies lifts, jacks and bay layouts for the current DVSA regime and the EV weight reality. Reviewing your bay now is cheaper than reviewing it after a near-miss.

A quality lift is only part of the job.

The installation matters just as much.

Great to see another customer highlighting the professionalism of our team, especially on an installation that needed a bit more problem-solving.

22/05/2026

One in five class 7 MOT stations cannot test the heaviest vehicle in the new category.

DVSA Special Notice 01/26 reclassifies zero emission goods vehicles between 3,501kg and 4,250kg as class 7 from 1 June 2026. A 2023 DVSA equipment survey found 21% of class 7 stations with a lift installed have a safe working load below 4,250kg. The three-year MOT exemption clock on ZEVs registered from 2023 is already running, and the first vehicles fall due for test this year.

The figure that matters is the SWL on your current LOLER thorough examination, not the manufacturer's rated capacity. If your lift falls short, equipment lead times are the real constraint.

We hold extensive stock of class 7 capable lifts. Once DVSA approvals are in place, we supply and install from stock within 7-10 working days, subject to any required groundworks. That is days, not weeks.

Read your LOLER cert. If you have a gap, give the team a call before vehicles start presenting for test.

Ghost MOT cases have nearly doubled in twelve months, from 976 to 1,809. That is 80% of all tracked MOT fraud.

A ghost MOT is a pass certificate for a vehicle that was never at the bay. No vehicle, no test, just a certificate.

The DVSA's answer is photo verification. Before a certificate can be issued, the garage uploads a photo of the vehicle on the lift with the plate visible. The pilot has grown from 62 garages to 244 and is heading for full rollout.

If you run an MOT bay, the workflow changes for every test. Talk to the Liftmaster team about lift configuration and bay layout for the new regime.

Cheap lifts look like the easy decision.

Lower upfront cost. Quick win.
But it doesn’t last.

Breakdowns.
Downtime.
Inconsistent performance.

That’s where it starts costing you.

That’s why Nussbaum sits in a different category.

Built in Germany. Designed for daily MOT use.
Reliable, consistent, and made to last.

If your lift can’t keep up, it becomes a liability.

You either pay once.
Or you keep paying for it.
