USED VEHICLE LIFT
FINANCING.
FOUND THE RIGHT LIFT AT THE RIGHT PRICE? Eligible used lifts may be considered — two-post, four-post, alignment and heavy-duty — tell us what you found.
FixFin may help eligible Canadian automotive businesses explore financing for qualifying used vehicle lifts. Depending on the equipment and transaction, factors such as the lift's details, condition, age, seller information and supporting documentation may be relevant to the financing review.
USED LIFT. NEW POSSIBILITIES.
THE USED LIFT MARKET
Lifts are the most-traded piece of professional shop equipment in Canada. Dealers take them on trade, shops sell them when they upgrade, and well-maintained machines from established professional manufacturers find second homes in new shops every week. A used lift is another equipment-acquisition strategy — often the fastest way to open a bay or add capacity.
Whether it's a single two-post from a dealer's trade-in row or a complete lineup from a shop that's winding down, the purchase is reviewed around the actual unit: what it is, its condition, who's selling it, and the transaction you're putting together.
EVERY LIFT CONFIGURATION, ON THE USED MARKET
Two-Post Lifts
The workhorse of the used lift market — dealer trade-ins and shop upgrades.
Four-Post & Alignment Lifts
Runway lifts and alignment-ready configurations for alignment service.
Scissor & Specialty Lifts
Mid-rise, low-rise and specialty formats where the application fits.
Mobile Columns & Heavy-Duty
Used column sets for truck, bus and fleet service — see the heavy-duty pathway.
WHAT SHOPS COMMONLY CONSIDER IN A USED LIFT
These are business-level planning considerations — FixFin doesn't certify lift condition or safety, and this isn't inspection or installation guidance. The Used Vehicle Lift Buying Guide covers the considerations in detail.

A DEALER HAS A TRADE-IN OR DEMO UNIT
Equipment dealers regularly resell trade-ins and demonstration lifts. A dealer-used machine often comes with inspection paperwork — useful context when options are reviewed.
A SHOP IS CLOSING AND SELLING ITS LINEUP
Buying lifts from a shop that's winding down can be an opportunity — and multiple machines in one transaction can be reviewed as one project.
YOU'RE UPGRADING AND REPLACING AGING LIFTS
Replacing the current lift with a newer used machine? The replacement purchase is what FixFin looks at — see the replacement equipment pathway.
YOU FOUND A LISTING THAT'S TOO GOOD TO PASS UP
Move on it — equipment condition and details help the review, and a quote or purchase agreement gives everyone clarity.
