Finkbeiner Hoists for Heavy Diesel Workshop

Posted 29/04/2025
Workshop Lifting & Handling,

Toowoomba Heavy Diesel replaced a traditional service pit with Finkbeiner wireless hoists, increasing workshop capacity, flexibility and efficiency. The mobile system enables faster turnaround times, supports a wider range of heavy vehicles and frees up floor space to reduce downtime and improve productivity.

The Background

Ross from THD was servicing trucks and heavy vehicles using a pit but was thinking of upgrading to hoists. “After 19 years in vehicle dealerships, I recognised the demand for trustworthy mechanics and efficient service. Customers need minimal downtime to avoid business losses and this is why I started my own workshop.”

The Process

“My goal was a quick turnaround for customers. This required me to think beyond a pit into innovative solutions. The pit limited our capacity, forcing us to reject jobs. We needed alternative lifting options.”

The Result

Ross finalised Finkbeiner for it’s wireless, battery-powered hoists. “It was a local acquaintance who recommended Finkbeiner. Their hydraulic wireless design, coupled with Brisbane-based service support convinced me. After several lengthy discussions with RUD, I purchased a set of four Finkbeiner hoists”

“I recommend Finkbeiner to anyone seeking quality wireless heavy vehicle hoists. Their mobility frees up workshop space and boosts productivity. The adjustable wheel adaptors accommodate various wheel sizes and wheelbases which adds to their versatility of servicing different sized vehicles.”

What the customer says

"The Finkbeiner hoists are a game changer. We no longer turn away work and we can manage workflow effectively. Their ease of charging and simple operation optimises productivity. The built-in safety features ensure my team is safe when working under the vehicles."
