Wireless mobile lifts

Wireless mobile lifts represent a leap forward in heavy-duty workshop technology. With SEFAC’s cable-free, battery-powered lifting systems, workshops gain unmatched flexibility, enhanced safety, and significant efficiency. These lifts enable teams to operate anywhere—indoors or out—without the limitations of fixed wiring. Here’s why SEFAC wireless mobile lifts are transforming vehicle maintenance.

What are wireless mobile lifts?

Unlike traditional systems tied to power cables, SEFAC’s wireless mobile lifts operate entirely independently. Each column is battery powered and communicates wirelessly with the rest of the lift set. This means no trailing cables, faster deployment, and safer environments. The SW3 model, for example, supports up to eight columns, lifting even the heaviest vehicles with complete synchronisation—without a single cord on the ground.

1. Total freedom of movement

Wireless mobile lifts eliminate restrictions. You can move columns between bays, buildings, or outdoor yards. Workshops with mixed vehicle types benefit from this adaptability. For example, a coach operator may reposition the same set of SEFAC lifts daily—four columns for a bus in Bay A, six columns for a truck in Bay B, then roll them away for cleaning access.

2. Safer, tidier workspaces

Without cables crossing the floor, the risk of trips, tangles, and cable damage disappears. SEFAC’s ball screw system also provides passive safety—columns won’t descend unless powered. Combined with their SWiP wireless control protocol, these features ensure vehicle lifting stays level, stable and secure—essential in busy or mobile environments.

3. Ready for outdoor and remote use

Need to service a truck in a depot, workshop, or warehouse area? With wireless mobile lifts, that’s no problem. SEFAC’s systems operate without fixed electrical or ground installations, offering flexibility within suitable indoor environments such as concrete or asphalt floors. While the lifts are robust and mobile, they are not designed for operation in the rain or in environments with heavy dust or sand, and are therefore recommended for indoor use. 

4. Rapid setup and redeployment

Set up a SEFAC wireless system in minutes. Simply roll the columns into place, switch them on, and synchronise. There’s no need for power routing or cable reels during operation. However, the columns do require periodic recharging, which means having access to plug sockets that comply with the electrical standards of your country. This makes wireless mobile lifts suitable for short-notice tasks, seasonal service points, and high-turnover bays.

5. Expandable, modular design

Each SEFAC wireless system is modular — start with two or four columns and expand as needed, up to a maximum of eight columns. Vehicle length, axle count, or layout changes? No problem. Add more columns and reconfigure. You’re not tied to a fixed setup, unlike most pit or scissor lift systems. This scalability gives a major long-term advantage.

6. Minimal infrastructure costs

Forget trenching floors or installing fixed cable channels. Wireless lifts require only level flooring. This reduces the cost of lift deployment in new or temporary locations. Operators avoid delays from electrical installations, making SEFAC’s wireless mobile lifts not only safer but also more economical.

7. Built-In diagnostics and low maintenance

Each SEFAC wireless lift includes an LCD screen for monitoring load, height, and battery status. Operators see alerts instantly and perform preventative maintenance easily. The electro-mechanical system requires greasing only every five years—unlike hydraulic systems that may leak or degrade with temperature swings, especially outdoors.

Use cases: SEFAC wireless lifts in action

  • Coach fleet maintenance: Indoors today, outdoors tomorrow—SEFAC wireless lifts roll where the buses are. Operators save time and space.
  • Construction site service: Technicians bring the lift to the vehicle. Maintenance occurs onsite, without hauling trucks back to base.
  • Municipal fleet depot: A mix of garbage trucks, vans and support vehicles. One set of wireless lifts adapts to all sizes—safely and quickly.
  • Seasonal pop-up bay: For six months each year, a holiday depot lifts minibuses and tour coaches. No cables, no permanent install—just fast, safe lifting when needed.

Free from cables, fast to deploy, safe under pressure

SEFAC wireless mobile lifts deliver unmatched flexibility, safety and performance for heavy-duty workshops. Free from cables, fast to deploy, and safe under pressure, they suit any dynamic operation. Whether lifting trucks, buses, or special vehicles—indoors or outside—these lifts give workshops the freedom to adapt and thrive.

FAQ – Wireless Mobile Lifts

What are wireless mobile lifts and how do they work?

Wireless mobile lifts are battery-powered lifting columns that operate without cables. Each column communicates wirelessly with the others using SEFAC’s patented protocol (SWiP), ensuring perfect synchronisation when lifting heavy-duty vehicles like trucks or buses. They offer complete freedom of movement and do not require fixed electrical installations.

Are wireless mobile lifts safe to use in busy workshops?

Yes. SEFAC’s wireless mobile lifts are designed with safety as a top priority. Their electro-mechanical ball screw nut system is irreversible, meaning the lift cannot descend unintentionally. The absence of trailing cables reduces trip hazards, and each column includes diagnostic displays for real-time monitoring.

Can wireless mobile lifts be used outdoors or on-site?

Absolutely. SEFAC wireless mobile lifts are IP-rated and built to function on stable surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. They are ideal for outdoor vehicle maintenance, construction sites, and fleet yards, providing flexible lifting wherever it’s needed without relying on fixed power connections.

How long do the batteries last on SEFAC wireless lifts?

SEFAC wireless mobile lifts are equipped with industrial-grade batteries designed for intensive daily use. A full charge typically supports multiple lifting cycles across a workday. Battery status is visible on each column’s screen, and charging can be scheduled overnight to avoid downtime.

What types of vehicles can SEFAC wireless lifts handle?

SEFAC wireless lifts can handle a wide range of heavy-duty vehicles including trucks, buses, coaches, municipal and airport support vehicles. Sets can be configured with 2, 4, 6, or 8 columns, and special versions accommodate oversized tyres and axle weights of up to 10 tonnes per column.
