Introducing our Transmission Service Lift with Wheel-Support Platforms
We’re proud to present a specialized workshop solution designed to provide maximum accessibility, stability, and efficiency for transmission and underbody service operations.
Unlike conventional vehicle lifts that support the car by the chassis, this Hydrotilts-type transmission service lift supports the vehicle directly by its wheels, leaving the entire underside completely unobstructed for technicians.
Here’s how the system works:
🔹 The lift is equipped with four independent wheel-support platforms, with one platform dedicated to each wheel.
🔹 As the lift rises, the vehicle’s tires settle naturally between transverse support bars positioned at 256 mm intervals.
🔹 This structure creates a natural stabilizing effect, ensuring safe lifting while maintaining full access to the vehicle floor and drivetrain components.
🔹 The open bar construction eliminates large solid surfaces beneath the car, providing technicians with excellent visibility and working space for demanding service tasks.
This smart engineering solution ensures:
✔️ Wheel-supported lifting for unrestricted underbody access
✔️ Four independent platforms — one for each wheel
✔️ Open transverse bar structure with 256 mm spacing
✔️ Increased vehicle stability during lifting
✔️ Ideal for transmission, drivetrain, and exhaust service
The lift is designed to accommodate a wide range of passenger vehicles — from compact city cars such as the Volkswagen Up class (excluding ultra-short vehicles like the Toyota iQ) up to larger models comparable to the Audi A6 Allroad.
This Transmission Service Lift combines smart engineering, workshop efficiency, and technician safety, making it a highly practical solution for modern automotive service centers.

Important Engineering Feature – Controlled and Smooth Descent
A key design element of this lift ensures maximum operational safety and smooth movement during lowering.
Here’s how the system works:
🔹 During the lifting and lowering process, the hydraulic cylinders change their working angle.
🔹 Because of this geometry, the impact force reaches its maximum in the lowest position of the lift.
🔹 To compensate for this effect, the hydraulic cylinder is equipped with a high-stiffness spring.
🔹 This spring absorbs the peak force and significantly softens the motion at both the start and the end of the descent.
The result is:
✔️ Smooth and controlled lowering
✔️ Reduced mechanical stress on the system
✔️ Improved operational safety
✔️ Longer service life of components
This intelligent engineering solution ensures that the lift operates gently, reliably, and safely throughout the entire movement cycle.
Advanced Control and Safety System
The lift is equipped with a reliable electrical and hydraulic control system, designed to ensure safe operation, precise control, and consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.
Here’s what powers the system:
🔹 Electrical supply: 380 or 220 VAC, 50/60 Hz — adaptable to different industrial power standards.
🔹 Control power: 24 VAC for safe and stable system control.
🔹 Hydraulic power unit: 2 × 4 kW hydraulic power pack, delivering the strength required for heavy-duty lifting operations.
🔹 Total lifting capacity: 243 t, enabling the system to handle extremely heavy loads with stability and reliability.
Key operational parameters:
⚙️ Lifting speed: 0.17 m/s
⚙️ Lowering speed: 0.20 m/s
⚙️ Electrical protection class: IP55, ensuring protection against dust and water splashes in industrial environments.
Integrated safety features include:
🛑 Emergency stop button for immediate system shutdown
🔹 Upper limit switch preventing over-travel during lifting
🔒 Automatic mechanical locking system when the lift reaches the raised position
🛡️ Hydraulic electromagnetic safety valve for controlled and secure hydraulic operation
🎮 Remote control system allowing convenient and safe operation from a distance
This combination of powerful hydraulics, precise electrical control, and advanced safety features ensures reliable performance for demanding lifting applications.
Engineering Responsibility and Compliance
At Hidrotiltai (Hydrobridges), every lifting system is developed through a comprehensive engineering process to ensure reliability, safety, and structural integrity.
Our company performs the complete design and engineering of the equipment, including:
🔹 Kinetostatic calculations
🔹 Structural strength analysis
🔹 Stability calculations
🔹 Full mechanical design and construction
Because the engineering process is carried out internally, we are able to issue the CE marking for our equipment ourselves, confirming compliance with the relevant European machinery regulations.
During the design and development process, we follow applicable EU machinery directives and standards, including:
✔️ EN 1570-A2 — Safety requirements for lifting tables and lifting platforms.
For manufacturing, we cooperate with production partners that operate under ISO 9001 quality management standards, ensuring consistent production quality and process control.
⚠️ Important Compliance Notice
Hydrobridges confirms compliance specifically with EN 1570-A2. However, the company does not guarantee compliance with additional national, regional, or international requirements beyond this standard.
Responsibility for obtaining any additional:
• permits
• licenses
• certifications
• regulatory approvals
• building or installation codes
required by local, state, federal, or international authorities rests solely with the buyer or installation party.
Hydrobridges shall not be liable for any taxes, fines, penalties, or regulatory obligations that may arise from regional structural, seismic, building, or other regulatory requirements applicable in the installation location.
This approach ensures transparent responsibility, clear compliance scope, and professional engineering standards for every Hydrobridges lifting solution.
