The number of electric vehicles in workshops is continuously increasing. As a result, the requirements for car lifts and their rubber pads are also changing. Higher vehicle weight, sensitive battery housings, and increasingly smaller lifting points make classic rubber blocks increasingly unsuitable. Especially with scissor lifts and four-post lifts with runways, this creates new challenges in everyday workshop operations.
Electric vehicles put a heavier load on rubber pads
Electric cars bring significantly more weight to the car lift than comparable vehicles with internal combustion engines. A VW ID.7, for example, weighs around 2,300 kilograms. This additional weight acts directly on the rubber pad.
At the same time, the available space for the support points is decreasing. Large battery housings in the underbody often only allow small and difficult-to-access lifting areas. Conventional rubber blocks therefore frequently do not fit exactly and protrude into sensitive areas.
Especially in daily workshop use, this repeatedly leads to problems. Standard rubber pads are heavily stressed by the high vehicle weight and can deform, tear, or in the worst case, break. In addition, the risk of damage to the battery housing or the vehicle body increases.
Three EV rubber blocks instead of countless special adapters
Storing individual rubber blocks for every electric vehicle would hardly be practical in everyday workshop life. Different vehicle and car lift types require flexible solutions. Too many individual adapters quickly lead to a lack of clarity, higher inventory effort, and unnecessarily complicated workflows.
Therefore, the system relies on just three specially adapted EV combination rubber blocks. The different versions cover around 99 percent of all common electric vehicles and enable fast, safe, and practical lifting of various lifting points.
The EV rubber blocks are not only suitable for electric vehicles. Numerous hybrid and combustion models can also be safely lifted with them. The dimensions are based on the typical lifting points of modern vehicles, making the system particularly versatile for daily workshop use.

Material quality determines safety
With the increasing demand for rubber blocks for electric vehicles, the range of cheap replicas is also growing. However, this is precisely where significant differences in material quality, dimensional stability, and durability become apparent.
Inferior rubber compounds yield significantly more under heavy loads. This can become critical, especially with higher rubber blocks. The vehicle stands unstably on the car lift, and the stress on the lifting points increases.
A test with a VW ID.4 electric vehicle showed:
- After just two lifting processes, the replica on the right was significantly worn.
- It is to be expected that the material will break quickly under regular use, creating serious hazards for the vehicle and operating personnel.
Other typical signs of inferior rubber products are:
- heavy deformation under load
- early crack formation
- oily surfaces
- unpleasant chemical odor
- low dimensional stability
Particularly with heavy electric vehicles, the quality of the rubber pad plays a decisive role for safety in the workshop.
Quality saves costs in the long term
What appears cheap at first can become expensive in the long run. A damaged rubber block often causes significantly higher consequential costs than the price difference compared to a high-quality product.
Unstable lifting situations, damaged battery housings, work interruptions, or vehicle damage can quickly generate high costs. High-quality EV rubber supports, on the other hand, ensure stable lifting operations, more safety for employees, and a smooth workshop routine.
Electric mobility presents new requirements for workshops. Therefore, choosing the correct rubber support is increasingly becoming an important safety factor.
