As the top Garage equipment and workshop tools provider in the UK, we have highlighted the benefits and features of our workshop lifting equipment, including 4 post lifts, scissor lifts, columns, axle stands & transmission jacks.

JHM Butt are your one stop shop for garage equipment and workshop tools, boasting thousands of specialised items. Our range of vehicle lifting equipment is from the best manufacturers worldwide, with each piece of garage equipment serving a purpose for your workshop.

Mobile columns represent flexibility and adaptation in fleet maintenance. Unlike fixed lifts, our mobile columns can be easily moved around within the workshop, making them ideal for locations that service a variety of vehicle sizes and types. For HGVs, PSVs, and LCVs, the ability to adjust and align lifts for specific maintenance tasks is invaluable.

There are two main types of mobile columns. These are electro-mechanical and electro-hydraulic. There can be a further distinction in that they could be wired columns with cables in between, or wireless columns that communicate via Bluetooth software wirelessly.

Our Ravaglioli wired electro-mechanical mobile columns guarantee you premium Italian quality and longevity within your workshop. These wired versions operate using an electro-mechanical system, with a screw and nut in each column. This is sometimes an operator’s preference due to the accuracy of height adjustment when working on vehicles. With reliable performance, and IP65 waterproof technology these are suitable for outdoor use.

The Supalift Mobile Columns use the most up-to-date technology with wireless communication between the lifting columns. These are a very popular choice in a modern workshop because of the low maintenance and having no trip hazards being cable-free. 

Safety is non-negotiable in any vehicle maintenance scenario. Axle stands are critical for providing a stable platform when lifts are employed. They ensure that a vehicle remains securely elevated during intensive maintenance work. JHM Butt’s axle stands come in varying capacities and sizes to accommodate different vehicle weights and types, reinforcing safety and enhancing maintenance efficiency. Our featured axle stands have a 7.5 tonne capacity, are made in the UK and have wheels to make them easily manoeuvrable.

Specialised maintenance tasks like transmission repairs demand precision. Transmission jacks are specifically designed to assist with the removal and installation of transmissions efficiently while ensuring the mechanic's safety. JHM Butt’s transmission jacks adjust to the optimal height and angle, providing precise positioning that is crucial for complex assemblies in HGVs and LCVs. Our featured Majorlift Mobile Vertical Transmission Jack is designed specifically to provide safety, rapid removal and replacement of heavy transmissions out on your garage floor.

Jacking beams are another essential tool in vehicle maintenance. Suited perfectly for brake, wheel, and tyre work, these beams offer additional lifting capability that enhances the functionality of service pits, scissor lifts and four-post lifts. JHM Butt’s Air Pit Major Jacking Beam has a huge 20 tonne capacity and comes with a 3-year warranty.

For comprehensive vehicle inspections and complex maintenance tasks, 4 post and scissor lifts are the best solution for any workshop. These lifts provide the stability and elevation required for efficient undercarriage access—a critical aspect when servicing commercial fleets.

The Ravaglioli KP series is the industry-leading range of 4 post lifts, with a range of capacities and features to perfectly suit your workshop. Likewise, the Ravaglioli 800 series provides workshops globally, with the best scissor lifts to ensure great performance for years.
