Trench lifters are ideal vehicle repair tools for large bus repair shops with low plant height. The combination of electric drive, worm gear, and turbo reduction design makes the trench lifter move more flexibly and with more lifting power. The four-wheel positioning of the gutter runway plus the long rear wheel skids make it suitable for positioning measurements of various car models.
