Australian-made electro-mechanical mobile column lifting for trucks, buses, fleets, rail and
specialist heavy vehicles. Portalift uses 7.5 tonne columns that can be configured in 4, 6, 8 or 10-column systems to suit different vehicle weights and axle layouts.

Portalift gives heavy-vehicle workshops a flexible alternative to a permanently installed
lift. Individual columns are positioned at the vehicle wheels and operate together as a coordinated lifting
system, giving technicians clear underbody access while allowing the equipment to be moved or stored
when the bay is required for other work.
With a 7.5 tonne rating per column and configurations from four to ten columns, Portalift
can be specified around a broad range of truck, bus, fleet, rail and specialist vehicle requirements. Iron Lift
can help work through vehicle mass, axle loading, wheel size, workshop layout and the number of columns
required before quoting.
Configuration
One modular system, four ways to arrange it. Select a configuration and your enquiry form is pre-filled with your choice.
30 tonnes nominal combined
A compact Portalift configuration for suitable two-axle and selected heavy-vehicle applications, subject to axle loading and vehicle requirements.
45 tonnes nominal combined
Additional capacity and axle coverage for longer or heavier multi-axle vehicles and mixed fleet requirements.
60 tonnes nominal combined
High-capacity multi-column lifting for larger fleet, transport and specialist heavy-vehicle applications.
75 tonnes nominal combined
Maximum published Portalift system configuration for very heavy or complex multi-axle applications.
Where combined capacities are shown, add a short qualifier such as: Actual suitability depends on axle loads, wheel positions, vehicle configuration and manufacturer requirements.

Columns can be moved into position when required rather than permanently dedicating a bay to a fixed lift.
The mobile column format leaves the centre of the vehicle open for service and inspection work.
The same Portalift platform can be arranged in 4, 6, 8 or 10-column systems depending on the application.
Portalift is a wired system, so workshops do not have to plan around charging lifting batteries between jobs.
The manufacturer currently lists Portalift as IP65 rated, which supports use in dusty or wet workshop environments within the product instructions.
Endurequip currently manufactures Portalift in Brisbane and has produced the system in Australia for more than three decades.
Portalift uses a wired electro-mechanical system. For workshops that value continuous mains-powered operation, this avoids the need to charge and replace lifting batteries. Endurequip also offers a cable management system designed to keep power cables raised and organised around the work area.
Straightforward operation with the operator close to the vehicle and the work.
Each column carries its own controls, so the technician can operate the lift directly at the post.
A remote pendant lets the operator observe the lift from around the vehicle while it rises or lowers. Column grouping options (individually, in pairs or together) are confirmed for the current system at quote stage.

Applications
Start with the vehicle. Each application links through to the detail on our applications page.
Flexible mobile lifting for heavy transport workshops, fleet servicing and general truck maintenance.
High-capacity lifting with full underbody access for depot, public transport and coach maintenance.
Configurable lifting for specialist wheel arrangements and heavy maintenance environments where Portalift is suitable.
Workshop lifting for refuse, council and other high-utilisation heavy vehicles.
Portable heavy-vehicle lifting for rugged workshop and resourcesector applications.
Heavy-duty portable lifting for demanding specialist vehicle maintenance applications.
Free the columns for another vehicle while a raised vehicle is securely supported on suitable stands.
Supports trailer lifting applications where the correct configuration is specified.
Published range 575 mm to 775 mm for suitable smaller-wheel vehicles.
Keeps Portalift cables raised and organised.
Additional environmental protection for the posts, motor and gearbox.
Available only where Endurequip confirms the solution for the specific application.
Portalift is designed and manufactured in Australia for heavy-vehicle workshops that need a portable, high-capacity lifting system. Endurequip has manufactured Portalift in Australia for more than
30 years and is part of RUD Australia.
Use a strong Brisbane manufacturing or finished-product image if Endurequip permits it. Do not make Iron Lift look like the manufacturer. The copy must clearly distinguish Endurequip as the manufacturer and Iron Lift as the supplier / customer contact only where that relationship is confirmed.
Heavy-vehicle lifting should be selected around the actual fleet, not simply the total vehicle
weight. Iron Lift can help review the vehicles, axle arrangement, workshop layout and intended use before a Portalift system is quoted. We can also assist with delivery planning, commissioning coordination, inspections, maintenance and parts enquiries where applicable.
Service claim rule: Do not call Iron Lift an authorised Endurequip service agent unless Michael confirms this separately. If service work is offered, use accurate wording such as support, servicing enquiries or parts assistance.
Endurequip currently rates each Portalift column at 7.5 tonnes. The correct system must also account for actual
axle loads and vehicle configuration.
Portalift can be configured in sets of 4, 6, 8 or 10 columns. The correct quantity depends on vehicle mass, axle
positions, axle loads and the lifting points required.
Endurequip currently publishes configurations up to 10 columns with a nominal combined lifting capacity of 75 tonnes.
The current published maximum lifting height is 1600 mm.
Portalift is a wired electro-mechanical system. Endurequip also offers a cable management system to organise
power cables in the workshop.
The manufacturer currently lists Portalift as IP65 rated. Actual outdoor use must still follow the manufacturer
instructions, electrical requirements and site risk controls.
Yes, Portalift is marketed by Endurequip for bus and coach maintenance. The selected configuration must suit
the vehicle weight, wheel size and axle loading.
Often yes. Mobile columns are flexible, but every vehicle must remain within the system capacity, wheel
interface and manufacturer requirements.
Portalift is designed as a portable system and does not require the same permanent bay installation as a fixed
platform or in-ground lift.
Endurequip offers vehicle stands, small wheel adaptors, an A-frame trailer adaptor, cable management systems
and other supporting equipment.
The more we know about the vehicle, the more useful the quote. Add axle loads, wheel sizes and photos if you have them.
