The Monolift Revival

The Hofmann 2.0 Monolift, the company’s original single post lift, first manufactured 30 years ago, has felt a resurgence in sales, according to Maywood’s director Gavin Masterton.

“When I was MD of Hofmann we sold regularly at least one each week for many years but in more recent times sales had fallen to just a handful. Now under Maywood’s sole distribution of the Hofmann range of lifts, sales are rocketing to unprecedented levels.

“The great thing about the Monolift is that where you can park a car you can fit a Monolift and it can handle virtually every car available from a mini to a Rolls Royce!”

According to the company the Monolift is particularly popular with bodyshops and workshops where an extra bay is required but there is no space for a conventional two or four post lift and groundwork costs prohibit the installation of a scissor lift.

The Monolift is made of rolled cold steel construction and electro-mechanical operation. It carries a 10 year warranty on the lifting nuts and has adjustable lifting pads and a height capacity of 1880mm.
