Lift Manufacturers Help Lift Inspectors Train for ALI Certification

To help accelerate the process by which vehicle lift technicians complete the Automotive Lift Institute’s Lift Inspector Certification Program, ALI member manufacturers came together to hold a five-day “all-in-one” training, testing and practical inspection event in Las Vegas.

Participating manufacturers included Stertil-Koni USA, Rotary Lift, Forward Lift, Challenger Lifts, Mohawk Lifts and PKS.

Called “Five Days to Victory,” the event offered candidate inspectors who had passed the pre-course exam the opportunity to complete all the other certification requirements: an orientation workshop, course examination and 12 practical inspections.

Additionally, participants could attend a full-day study group on Tuesday led by ALI Factory Designated Trainers to prepare for the next day’s exam. A total of 91 candidates participated over the week.

The ALI Lift Inspector Certification Program was created to provide third-party qualification of vehicle lift inspectors and to certify those who demonstrate that they are capable of properly inspecting any type of lift from any manufacturer in accordance with the ANSI standard governing vehicle lift inspection and in support of OSHA’s General Duty Clause, as well as provincial requirements in Canada.
