What's included in an MOT Test Lane?
A typical Class 4 or Class 7 MOT test lane includes a range of integrated equipment designed to ensure accurate testing and full DVSA compliance.
Core MOT Test Lane Equipment:
- Vehicle lift with integrated play detectors and turning plates
Typically a 4-post lift, although MOT scissor lifts are also available depending on space and preference - Brake tester
A weighing system is optional, but required if testing motorcycles, along with motorcycle adaptor plates - Emissions testing equipment
Includes a gas analyser and diesel smoke meter - Decelerometer
Providing an alternative method of measuring braking performance as required - RPM and oil temperature measurement device / EOBD
Used in conjunction with emissions testing equipment - Headlamp aim tester (beam setter)
- Jacking beam
Considering a Class 7 MOT Test Lane?
With the increasing number of larger vehicles on UK roads, installing a Class 7 MOT test lane can be a valuable opportunity to increase revenue — provided you have sufficient space and height.
According to DVSA figures, only around 25% of vehicle testing stations are equipped to carry out Class 7 testing, creating a strong opportunity for garages looking to expand their services.
See our MOT Test Lanes for further details including standard layout schematics.
Vehicle Lifts for Service / Repair Garages and MOT Stations
What sets our car lifts apart is their high quality, solid, sturdy build. Designed and manufactured in the UK or Europe, our vehicle lifts are built-to-last and feature quality components, mechanical safety mechanisms, heavy duty platforms, solid base plates, thick column steel, and quality-controlled welding.
A vehicle lift is an important investment for any repair garage or MOT station, so you need to be sure that it is both safe and reliable. Unlike Boston lifts, many lifts manufactured in the far-east are of sub-standard quality, prone to leaking and breaking down – and we should know, our vehicle lift engineers service all makes and models and can attest to the huge variation of standards in the market.
If you’re looking for a reliable vehicle lift you can put your trust in, we offer a comprehensive range with a wide choice of platform lengths (4 post lifts) and lifting capacities. Our range includes single post lifts, 2 post lifts, 4 post lifts, scissor lifts, in-ground lifts, commercial lifts and MOT lifts.
Whether you regularly work on motorbikes, small cars, sports cars, estate cars, four-wheel drives, and/or light commercial vehicles (LCVs), Boston has the right vehicle lift for you.
Complete Range of Vehicle Garage Equipment
Our range also extends to vehicle jacking equipment such as jacking beams, trolley jacks, transmission jacks and air hydraulic jacks.
Our popular jacking beams can be used in conjunction with our 4 post lifts and our BJB20 and BJB28 models are designed and manufactured in the UK.
Boston's General Workshop Equipment includes wheel trolleys, workshop cranes and hydraulic Presses from Danish Manufacturer AC Hydraulic. As you would expect with any Boston garage equipment, the range is robust, reliable and of exceptional quality.
