Automotive service operations depend on hydraulic-powered lifts to raise and lower vehicles safely and efficiently. However, inconsistent hydraulic flow, slow cycle times, and unreliable control have historically posed significant challenges to technician safety and operational reliability.
These issues led to frequent lift interruptions, extended maintenance durations, and increased labor costs, all while placing additional strain on equipment and exposing organizations to potential safety risks, The need for a robust, dependable hydraulic power unit that could deliver precise control and maintain high uptime was evident in order to meet stringent industry safety standards and sustain operational performance,
Seeking to address these challenges, the automotive lift manufacturer evaluated multiple hydraulic power units to identify a product that could offer consistent hydraulic flow, durability, and precise operational control. The Stone AB-1270 AC-powered hydraulic power unit from Power Team was selected due to its proven track record in demanding vehicle lifting applications and its engineered focus on reliability and technician safety.
According to John Smith, Service Manager at the Automotive Lift Manufacturer, "The consistent hydraulic flow provided by the Stone power unit enabled safer and more efficient vehicle maintenance operations." Implementation of the Stone AB-1270 enabled the manufacturer to streamline lift operations and ensure smooth, dependable vehicle raising and lowering cycles, directly supporting technician safety and operational throughput,
Following the integration of the Stone AB-1270 hydraulic power unit, the lift manufacturer realized marked improvements in operational efficiency and safety. Uptime increased by15—30%, with each lift cycle saving 10-20 seconds. Daily labor requirements were reduced by 8—15 minutes, and annual cost savings per lift ranged from $1,000 to $2,800. These performance gains Were achieved through a reduction in lift interruptions, smoother control, and decreased maintenance demands.
The enhanced system reliability and precise control helped the organization maintain compliance with industry safety standards and optimize technician workflow, reinforcing Power Team's reputation for delivering durable, high-performance hydraulic productOS in critical industrial applications.
