Scope
This Standard specifies requirements for vehicle hoists as defined in AS 2549. It applies to wheel-supporting, axle-supporting and frame-supporting vehicle hoists and their accessories.
The Standard does not apply to vehicle jacks (see AS/NZS 2693), trolley jacks (see AS/NZS 2615), car stackers and vehicle roll-over equipment.
It is complementary to AS 1418.1, but the requirements specified herein take precedence over corresponding requirements in that Standard. Accessories shall comply with the appropriate Standard where this exists.
NOTES:
1 Although this Standard uses the term ‘hoist’, several overseas Standards use the term ‘lift’.
2 Illustrations of typical vehicle hoists are given in Appendix A.
