In busy workshops and service bays, time is precious, and safety is paramount. When handling heavy or awkward vehicle wheels, relying on manual lifting can lead to inefficiency, fatigue and even injury. That’s where wheel lifters come in. They are designed to reduce physical strain, improve safety and boost productivity during wheel removal and installation.

At Sykes-Pickavant, we offer a robust range of wheel lifters engineered to meet the varied needs of professional technicians. Whether you're working with a compact setup or handling heavier wheels on a daily basis, our lifters deliver dependable performance, thoughtful ergonomics, and effortless control.

Our Range of Wheel Lifters

34196000 – Battery Powered Wheel Lifter 60kg (Best Seller)

Our most popular model, the 34196000, strikes the perfect balance between power and convenience. Designed to lift medium and small wheels up to 60kg, it features a push-button handle for one-handed operation, lightweight aluminium frame, and four swivel wheels for easy positioning.

The low centre of gravity ensures excellent stability, while bracket lowering makes wheel loading effortless. With two 12V 12Ah batteries powering the lift and LED charge indicators to monitor battery life, it’s built for daily use in fast-paced environments.

Key Specs:

• Capacity: 60kg
• Max. Wheel Hub Height: 1450mm
• Base Width: 725mm

Ideal for garages looking for a professional-grade, battery-powered solution that improves safety without slowing you down.

34191000 – Compact Wheel Lifter 60kg

Perfect for tight spaces, this compact model delivers full lifting power in a reduced footprint. The screw-lifting mechanism, powered by two 12V batteries, provides smooth vertical movement via a push-button control on the handle.

A lightened column and swivel wheels allow excellent manoeuvrability, while the design ensures easy loading and unloading without strain.

Best for: Workshops with space limitations or using recessed lifting systems.

34195500 – Manual Wheel Lifter 35kg

For lighter-duty jobs or when battery power isn’t essential, the manual 35kg lifter is a solid choice. It can be operated with a battery tool or pneumatic screwdriver, and shares the same ergonomic handle and stable base design as the powered models.

Despite its manual operation, it still offers smooth handling, great stability, and a cost-effective way to improve wheel handling safety.

Best for: Smaller wheels and environments where power-assisted lifting isn’t necessary.
