IME Autolift is best known in the spare parts market for its older two-post screw lifts. Many of these vehicle lifts were manufactured during the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s and are still in use today in workshops, small businesses and private garages. Replacement rubber pads, rubber lift pads, support plate rubbers and support plates for these older lifts are still in high demand.
Today, IME-Light GmbH is part of the AUTOLIFT Group and is active in the field of lifting systems, mobile lifting equipment, lifting cylinders and special-purpose lifts. However, this collection focuses specifically on older IME Autolift vehicle lifts, particularly stationary two-post screw lifts manufactured between approximately 1980 and 2005.
At Böck®, you will find durable premium rubber pads and rubber lift pads for IME Autolift vehicle lifts. Many popular versions are available from stock and can be ordered conveniently online. Before ordering replacement parts for older lifts, always check which metal support plate is actually installed and compare the dimensions of the existing rubber pad.

Choosing the correct rubber pad for your IME Autolift
With IME Autolift, accurate identification is particularly important because many lifts are several decades old. A rubber lift pad for an IME 300/25 will not necessarily fit an IME 300/30, IME 300/35, IME 320/25, IME 320/32/2M or IME CE 300. Although model numbers may appear similar, lifting arms, metal support plates, hole patterns and mounting systems can differ.
The most frequently requested replacement rubber pads are for the IME 300, IME 300/25, IME CE 300 and IME 320/32/2M. These models are commonly found in spare parts catalogues, auction archives and used equipment listings. However, support plates, lifting arms or rubber lift pads may have been replaced or modified over the years.
For this reason, an IME Autolift rubber pad should never be ordered based solely on the model designation. The important factors are the identification plate, year of manufacture, metal support plate, pad diameter, height, hole pattern, hole spacing, screw type and the shape of the existing mounting system. Especially on older two-post screw lifts, comparing the new part with the original component is the safest way to find the correct rubber lift pad.
As differences may exist depending on the production year, version or installed support plate, always measure the existing support plate before ordering. Compare the dimensions with the technical drawings and measurements shown on the respective product page. This helps prevent incorrect orders and makes it much easier to identify the correct rubber lift pad for your IME Autolift vehicle lift.
Rubber lift pads for older IME Autolift two-post screw lifts
Older IME Autolift screw lifts are generally mechanically robust, but after many years of use the rubber pads and support plate rubbers are often worn. Vehicle weight, oil, dirt, ageing and continuous daily use can cause the pads to harden, crack or become damaged. Replacing worn pads in time protects the vehicle lifting points and ensures proper support on the support plate.
For models such as IME 250/25, IME 250/30, IME 280/25, IME 280/30, IME 300/25, IME 300/30, IME 350/25 and IME 350/30, always verify which rubber lift pad is actually installed. Especially on older lifts purchased second-hand, the support plates may no longer correspond to the original factory configuration.
Short model names such as IME 300 or IME Autolift 300 can help during the search, but they are not a substitute for technical verification. The installed component is more important than the lift designation itself. Therefore, always inspect and measure the existing rubber pad, metal support plate and mounting system carefully before ordering.
Important information before ordering
You are also welcome to contact us by email. For reliable identification, we require photos of the lift identification plate, a top view of the existing rubber pad and the dimensions of the support plate.
The most important measurements are the diameter, height and, where the rubber pad has more than one hole, the centre-to-centre hole spacing. On older IME Autolift support plates, the inside diameter, hole pattern, screw type, mounting design and the shape of the metal support plate are also important.
Photos of the old rubber pad from above and below, a photo of the metal support plate showing the mounting arrangement, as well as information about the model number, year of manufacture, lifting capacity and the condition of the existing rubber lift pad are also helpful. The more detailed the information, the easier it is to identify the correct Böck® rubber pad for your IME Autolift vehicle lift.

FAQ
- 1. Which rubber lift pad fits an IME Autolift 300/25?

For older IME Autolift vehicle lifts, the model number alone is often not enough. Lifting arms, metal support plates and rubber lift pads may have been replaced over the years. Therefore, photos and measurements of the installed component are always essential.
