Our Hoist Relocation Process
-
Remove
We safely remove the hoist by securing safety mechanisms, removing anchor bolts, and dismantling all the lifting components.
-
Transport
Once dismantled, hoist parts are wrapped and secured for transport, with columns, arms, runways, and hydraulic components protected against impact, movement, or damage.
-
Reinstall
We position and align the car hoist, install new anchors as required, level the structure for accuracy, and carefully reassemble all components ready for commissioning.
-
Recommission
We plug the hoist back in, refill hydraulic fluid where required, and carry out comprehensive safety and performance testing. Then your hoist is ready for use!

Testimonials
Hello Tufflift, Our business is involved in Paint Protection of cars & as such we require our hoist to be utilised all day every day! Our Tufflift hoist was installed nearly 12 months ago & has not missed a beat. We are very happy that we can use our hoist to work on our cars at what ever level is required, as opposed to rolling around on the ground trying to polish.
I have a two post hoist great for maintenance but very cumbersome for storage to improve floor space in the shed. The opportunity to create a mezzanine with a (TL3.6PH-H) four post hoist has increased my parking undercover so now I can go shopping to fill the space. My wife seems to be the only one who does not support the idea!! Good value/great hoist.
Prompt delivery, easy to unpack and it was all there. I read the instructions twice, just to make sure and then put it together in a day by myself, just using basic tools and an engine lifter. Nice relaxed day. All I have to do is fit the motor and hook up the hydraulics, could not be happier.
Hoist Relocation FAQ'S
Hoist relocation in Australia generally costs between $500 and $2,000. Total costs depend on the complexity, distance, and hoist type. While some hoists can be moved on wheels, most require full dismantling, transport, and reinstallation, often costing around $1,200 - $1,500 for a full professional service.
Relocating a vehicle hoist typically takes 1 - 3 days, depending on the complexity of the move and whether it's local or interstate. Simple moves may take a single day, while more complicated reinstallations can take longer.
Most manufacturers will honour your existing structural and component warranties if they perform the relocation themselves. They can't easily claim 'improper installation' as a reason to deny future claims if their own team did it.
Typical requirements for car hoist reinstallation include reinforced concrete between 100mm and 200mm thick, with a minimum strength of 32MPa. The slab must be level, fully cured, and free from cracks or weak spots.
Following the relocation of your hoist, we provide two key pieces of documentation to ensure full transparency and compliance:
Full Commission Report: A detailed written record confirming that your hoist has been professionally inspected, tested, and certified as safe and operational in its new location. This document is important for your records, workplace compliance, and insurance purposes, and may be required as evidence of due diligence during audits or inspections.
Service Sticker: A service sticker is physically attached to your hoist as a quick-reference record. It displays key details such as the service date, next recommended service date, and the technician or company that carried out the work. This gives anyone operating the hoist immediate visibility of its service history.
