Description
Lifting a vehicle may seem straightforward, but using the correct lift points is critical for safety and preventing damage. At the Counterman Education Center, experts emphasize always following the manufacturer’s recommended lifting points, using jack stands rated for the job, and lifting in pairs—front or back—to maintain stability.
Additional safety tips include applying the parking brake, using wheel chocks, and being mindful of structural components like rocker panels and, in EVs or hybrids, battery placement. Lifting incorrectly can crush body panels or damage vital systems.
Trust the pros: proper lift techniques protect your vehicle, your equipment, and most importantly, the people working on it. Safety isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of every job.
