Equipping a new garage or upgrading an existing service bay is a major financial and logistical undertaking. The decision isn’t just about finding the right lift; it’s about building a cohesive, efficient workspace that matches your current operational phase and projected growth. That’s why Lifts Combo Packages from Global Garage Supplies are designed to simplify your choice by offering specialized bundles tailored to three common shop phases.
To help you justify the investment and ensure you’re not over- or under-equipped, here’s how to choose the right combo package for your needs.
The “Startup” Package: Essential Power for New Operations
If you are launching a new automotive repair business, establishing a dedicated hobby space, or opening a small specialty shop, your focus should be on core functionality and minimizing initial capital expenditure without sacrificing safety.
- Focus: Core lifting power and basic diagnostic support.
- What it Includes: Typically centered around a reliable 2-post lift (like a specific model in our 2-Post Lift Combos collection) bundled with essential shop accessories like basic fluid handling equipment and a robust jack.
- Best For: New shops, home garages, and businesses specializing in light-duty repair. This package gets you operational quickly and efficiently.
The “Upgrade” Package: Adding High-End Efficiency Tools
For established shops that already have reliable lifts but need to expand their service capabilities or improve bay efficiency, the “Upgrade” package focuses on specialized accessories that speed up complex jobs.
- Focus: Advanced efficiency, specialty service, and maximizing existing infrastructure.
- What it Includes: These packages may not always include a new lift, but instead focus on high-ticket, productivity-boosting items: specialty transmission jacks, rolling bridge jacks compatible with existing 4-post lifts, wheel alignment systems, or advanced air compression setups.
- Best For: Existing high-volume bays looking to increase throughput on difficult jobs (e.g., heavy-duty truck maintenance or drivetrain work).
The “Complete Bay” Package: Comprehensive Solutions for High-Volume Work
This package is designed for large commercial operations, dealership service centers, or specialty custom shops that require zero downtime and maximum capability across all vehicle classes.
- Focus: Full operational capacity, maximum lifting safety, and complete organizational structure.
- What it Includes: A high-capacity 4-post lift or a specialty Inground Lift, combined with a powerful air compression system, full-service workbench and storage solutions, fluid management systems, and high-intensity lighting. This package outfits a service bay completely.
- Best For: Major facility build-outs, high-volume centers, or businesses that need a turnkey solution ready to handle all aspects of repair from day one.
Choosing the right package means choosing the right future for your business. Don’t settle for less than what your shop needs to thrive.
