Positioning Aids
Positioning aids let you move a stationary car without starting the engine. They work under the wheels or lift the vehicle. Choose the size based on width and length, so they match the wheelbase and track width of the vehicles you service. The load capacity must handle the car's weight. This way, you can slide a car sideways or turn it in a tight space. An essential tool for any workshop with limited space.

Choosing positioning aids for your workshop
Which size fits your customers' vehicles?
A positioning aid must fit under the wheels of the car. Measure the width and length of the tyres. Choose a model that is wide enough for the tyre size. Also check the wheelbase and track width of the vehicle. This ensures the aid sits correctly and keeps the car stable.
What to consider when ordering?
Load capacity is decisive. A positioning aid must support the weight of the car. Check the maximum weight per axle. For a passenger car, 450 kg per pair is often enough. For a van or SUV, you need more. Always choose a model with sufficient reserve to work safely.
How to use a positioning aid safely?
Place the car on a level surface. Position the aids under the wheels. Use them only for moving, not as axle stands. A hydraulic version lifts the car, so you can slide it sideways easily. This lets you turn a car in a tight space without starting the engine.
Positioning aids belong with the floor jacks and axle stands that raise a car safely. If you want to lift the vehicle yourself, look at floor jacks or ramps.
