Vehicle Hoists

Hanmecson is a budget priced hoist produced in Korea and shipped via the US. I think that some assembly work is done in the US. Perhaps they now also ship directly to Australia.
ISO compliance means SFA in Australia when it comes to vehicle hoists.
Hanmecson also only state that the product is produced in an ISO compliant factory, not that the hoist itself is ISO compliant.

For your own safety and that of any one else using the hoist buy one that IS CERTIFIED to comply with Au/NZ standard 1418 part 9.
Do not take the suppliers word that it will comply with Au standards, insist on a copy of the certification.
Take advise from someone that knows, I sat on the engineering panel for AS1418/9 for 16 years.
There is a lot of second rate product on the market, mainly because certified compliance with the standard is not mandatory.

Thanks guys
Sounds like you get what you pay for.

I got a four post hydraulic hoist (second hand) years ago from a specialist in Brisbane.He supplies most of the pro-workshops up here in Central Qld with them and services..Need his name etc..Email me..Life without a hoist.Spare the thought!..He also installs if needed.
