Here at "Hero" we strive to bring you the highest quality products at the most affordable price for your home or business...
We’re the Australian child - owned and operated by Aussies - of an established company - Lift King Canada – that has been in business for many years, searching the globe for the newest and most innovative products.
Both companies have the same goal – to deliver the best quality products at very competitive prices!
Of course, there are always "cheaper" products available to you, but do you really want to trust your prized possession or your well-being to an inferior lift?
An Interesting Quote
"It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better."
John Ruskin

Our position on marketing lower quality ‘hobby lifts’ is that we won‘t expose our customers to potential danger, nor do we want to have to handle all the complaints of poor performance, warranty issues and a negative reputation in the marketplace...
In our experience the cheaper ‘hobby lifts’ leave most customers disappointed and eventually they end up selling them for something more substantial and safer... like a LIFT KING!
Bottom Line:- if you want the cheapest price then Hero‘s products probably aren’t for you - however if you really do want the BEST VALUE service/storage hoist in Australia – and equipment you can trust – then we’ll do our best to provide that to you at a competitive price...
Hero AutoHoists has positioned itself as a supplier of higher-rated lifts – ‘commercial-grade’ products that are at the same time easy to install, operate and require no strict maintenance schedule – in other words we‘re making it cost effective and easy for the private buyer to own a commercial-grade hoist - just ‘Plug ‘n’ Lift‘ – with no need to bolt anything down if you don’t want to – it really is that simple!
On the left we say "Not all lifts are created equal"... there are other distrubutors and so called ‘manufacturers’ - and all of them claim theirs are the best on the market!
Here at Hero, we show you! If you compare any of the other units available in Australia right now under $5000 to ours, we win hands down! If you compare to the units over $5000 , we are of the same quality as some of them and better than most! We’re very proud of what we sell and stand behind our products 100%.
Quality, Service and a Competitive Price are our priorities
Ross, (aka ‘Cheyenne’ to his mates) - the owner of Lift King Canada is a "car guy" through and through; he expanded into car lifts because he hated seeing his fellow enthusiasts being taken advantage of with high prices and low quality! He travelled to all the manufacturers of lifts personally to test the quality and strength of all the units available! He found it , tied up the rights for Canada and the rest is history!
Now, with Hero‘s input - and his own high demands for quality and features, the Lift King 8 and 8XL are set to dominate the enthusiasts’, residential - and eventually the commercial market...
And please remember - quality is remembered long after price is forgotten...
We will ultimately carry all lifts, from Motorcycle Service Lifts to Boat Stackers – so stay tuned...
We’re based out of Regents Park, Sydney, NSW, so we’re centrally located for quick and reasonable shipping in the metropolitan area, regionally and up and down the Eastern states.
Cross-country shipping can be arranged if required...
Australian Compliance
There is a lot of confusion in the marketplace about what standards automotive hoists need to (or should) comply with...
Lift King 2-poster hoists have European ‘CE’ Certification – and are engineered to provide hassle-free operation with minimal maintenance.
The Australian standard 1418.9 is a very high standard, and demands a certain number of years of life on the structural components and consumables before replacement – so please check to see that our products can be used in your workplace. For general use, the hoists are certainly engineered to provide years of consistent and trouble-free performance.
In fact our 2-poster Lift King hoists have been compared more than favourably (pretty much the equall of) the excellent Rotary Commercial hoists - hoists that are many thousands of dollars more expensive...
Most of our 4-poster hoists are CE, EEC and CSA approved.
Rest assured that Hero‘s products meet stringent safety standards - so even in a private (non-commercial) dwelling you can be confident that you’ve invested in a SAFE hoist... engineered to provide you with many years of hassle-free, professional operation...
Guarantee
Here at Hero AutoHoists, we take our quality and service very seriously!
4-Post Hoists
Our 4-Post lifts have a 5-Year Manufacturer Defect Warranty on the power-pack and a Lifetime Structural Warranty on the lift for private use.
For commercial use they carry a standard 1-Year Motor Warranty and 5-Year Structural Warranty.
2-Post Hoists
2-Post hoists in commercial use carry a standard 1-Year Warranty on parts - plus a 5-Year Structural Warranty. For private use they carry a Lifetime Structural Warranty and 5-Year Motor Warranty.
A Guarantee is only as good as the company that puts it on! Other companies state they will guarantee your product for a lifetime - but the problem is half of our competitors are selling their lifts out of a garage! We know this sounds like a joke, and if you ask to view one of their products, you will get a tour of a back alley to see it!
Do you really think these people will be around in a week , a month or a year from now to guarantee your lift?
Hero AutoHoists are here for the long-haul - our word is our reputation - and we stand by it...
