EZLift launch e-bike and cargo bike rated electric workshop stand

EZLift has launched a fully modular e-bike/cargo workshop stand with a 90kg lift capacity, designed and manufactured in the UK.

EZLift Shop Lift with Cargo Carriage fitted, and cargo bike lifted from the ground12 volt dc electric powered, the Shop Lift, makes it easy to elevate any cargo bike to head height for maintenance or assembly work. A modular construction, capable of lifting 2 bikes simultaneously, the Shop Lift features a patented quick release plate which enables mechanics to change fittings in seconds, including an optional extra claw, enabling mechanics to work on either side of the stand.

 

Fitted with the Cargo Carriage mechanics can now comfortably lift cargo bikes – including big box 3 and 4 wheel cargo bikes – making serving or assembly far easier.

Custom capture devices can be designed and manufactured to meet the customer’s exact lifting needs, as well as offering adjustability to tailor the actual height and lifting capacity of the lift assembly.

The Shop Lift, which retails at £2,000.00, includes a 360° rotating capture claw. The Cargo Carriage is offered at £350, and an additional claw can be purchased for £250.

Cargo bikes are increasingly used for “last mile” deliveries, with businesses including DHL, UPS and FEDEX now running cargo bike fleets, as are a number of County Councils and local authorities. In the UK and across Europe sales to people looking to replace a car with a cargo bike are also growing rapidly.

EZLift with claw fitted on both sidesFor workshop and fleet management businesses supporting cargo bike fleets, EZLift also manufactures a fully portable lift, which is waterproofed, and matches the same specifications as the Shop Lift, making this ideal for field repairs.

As e-mobility continues to grow, the ability to offer servicing of e-bikes and cargo bikes will become ever more important. In this space bicycle retailers have already see new challenges from outside of the traditional cycling retail sector, with the example of KwikFit just one of many sure to follow the shift from car maintenance to e-mobility solutions servicing.

For businesses servicing commercial cargo bike fleets, or shops servicing e-bikes and cargo bikes used as personal transport, the unique capabilities of a workshop stand such as the EZLift Shop Lift become absolutely essential to enabling full service for customers.

With EZLift designing and manufacturing everything inhouse the business can also design, develop, deliver, and service support custom lifts, including custom capture devices specifically for manufactures of e-bikes and cargo bikes.
