Our Services
From mobile servicing and certification to expert installations and precision calibrations, Hoist & Garage keeps your workshop equipment safe, compliant, and performing at its best.
Service & Certification
New Zealand law requires all lifting equipment to be inspected and certified annually.
Working to AS/NZS 1418.9:1996, our technicians carry out a comprehensive multi‑point check, provide a certification record for your files, and clearly sticker the asset for easy compliance tracking.
Installations & Setup
A precise installation sets the foundation for your equipment’s long-term performance.
Our technicians specialise in new installs, removals, and relocations of hoists and workshop equipment, ensuring everything is set up for optimal safety and efficiency.
Calibrations
Annual calibration is essential for brake rollers, wheel aligners, wheel balancers, and diagnostic equipment.
Regular servicing ensures accurate results, delivers the best outcomes for your customers, and reduces the risk of costly comebacks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What brands of equipment do you service?
With over 20 years in the industry, we’ve worked on just about every auto workshop equipment brand you can name - and we’ve got the service manuals to match.
Some of the more common brands we work with include Rotary, Heshbon, Forward Lift, Autop Stenhoj, Ravagliolo, Beissbarth, John Bean, Hofmann, Nussbaum, Steiner, Powerrex, Fasep, Summit, Corghi, Molinar, Sherpa, and Lift Max.
Q:
How often should my equipment be serviced?
Most workshop equipment should be serviced at least once a year to stay compliant, safe, and performing at its best.
High‑use equipment - like hoists, wheel aligners, and brake testers - may benefit from more frequent checks to prevent costly breakdowns and reduce downtime. Our technicians can recommend a service schedule tailored to your workshop’s workload and compliance requirements.
Q:
How often should my equipment be calibrated?
Annual calibration is recommended for precision equipment such as brake rollers, wheel aligners, wheel balancers, and diagnostic tools.
Regular calibration ensures accurate results, keeps your workshop compliant, and reduces the risk of customer comebacks. For high‑volume workshops, more frequent checks may be worthwhile to maintain peak accuracy.
Q:
Do you provide certification for all types of hoists?
Yes - we inspect and certify all types of hoists, from two‑post and four‑post lifts to scissor lifts and in‑ground systems, in line with NZ safety standards.
Q:
Can you install equipment I’ve purchased elsewhere?
Yes - our technicians can install, set up, and calibrate equipment purchased from other suppliers, ensuring it’s safe, compliant, and ready for use.
Q:
What happens if my equipment fails its certification?
If your equipment doesn’t pass, we’ll explain the issues, provide repair options, and get it back to a safe, compliant standard as quickly as possible.
Q:
Do you supply replacement parts?
Yes - we can source and supply genuine or compatible parts for a wide range of workshop equipment brands.
Q:
Can you set up a maintenance schedule for my workshop?
Absolutely - we can design a tailored plan to minimise downtime and keep your workshop compliant year round. We can even send you a reminder when equipment is due for a service or calibration.
