AUTEC VLT, Dutch Lifting Technology with a Long History
AUTEC is a Dutch specialist in vehicle lifting technology with an extensive history of lift models. For many years, the company was also known as AUTEC VLT. Two-post lifts for passenger cars and vans in particular were an important part of its product range, and many of these lifts are still in daily workshop use today.
Van Leeuwen Test Systems, abbreviated as VLT, is also part of the company's history. Cornelis van Leeuwen founded the company in 1958 and developed it into an internationally active specialist in vehicle testing technology. In 2018, Cornelis van Leeuwen handed Van Leeuwen Test Systems over to his son Theo van Leeuwen, who at that time was also the owner of AUTEC VLT.
AUTEC remains active in lifting technology today. Since 2022, the company has focused on heavy-duty automotive lifts and the corresponding accessories. The numerous passenger car lifts produced in earlier years remain an important part of AUTEC's model history. Rubber pads and rubber supports are required as wear parts particularly for these proven lifts.
Rubber Pads for AUTEC VLT Two-Post Lifts
Well-known AUTEC VLT two-post lifts include ALM-2524, ALM-2528, ALM-3024 and ALM-3028. These series were used for many years for maintenance and repair work on passenger cars.
Other well-known two-post models include ALH-3026, ALH-4527, ALH-5024B/TC, ALH-3024A, ALH-5024A, ALH-3225/TC, ALH-5025H/TC and ALH-7028H/TC.
Earlier models such as AL2521, AL2522 and AL2523 are also part of the history of AUTEC two-post lifts. Rubber supports and rubber pads for various models are still required today.
AUTEC documents rubber supports for AL2522, AL2523, ALM2524 and ALM3028, for example, as well as for various models in the ALH series. Depending on the automotive lift, rubber supports with different diameters and thicknesses are used.
AUTEC, AUTEC VLT and Van Leeuwen
When searching for spare parts for older automotive lifts, different names from AUTEC's history may be relevant. In addition to AUTEC and AUTEC VLT, VLT and Van Leeuwen Test Systems are also part of the company's history.
If you are looking for a rubber support or rubber pad for an older AUTEC VLT automotive lift, you should therefore pay particular attention to the exact model designation and the existing support system.
Which Rubber Support Fits My AUTEC VLT Automotive Lift?
For older AUTEC two-post lifts, the correct rubber support should be selected based on the model and the existing support system. The year of manufacture and version can affect the diameter, height and design of the rubber pad.
For identification, we recommend sending us a clearly readable photo of the nameplate of your AUTEC or AUTEC VLT automotive lift. The manufacturer, model and type should be clearly visible. A photo of the existing rubber pad or support plate with a measuring tape or folding ruler placed next to it is also helpful. This allows the diameter and design to be compared more accurately.
Rubber Blocks for AUTEC Scissor Lifts
In addition to two-post lifts, AUTEC's model history includes numerous scissor lifts. These include AL2005, AL2006, AL2009, AC2503C, AC2503CRV, AC3304, AC3504 and AC3504TWIN.
Other models include ASC3007, ASB2503, ASB2504A, ASB3004, ASB3004HS, ASB3006, ASB3007, ASB3008, ASB3208, ASB3208FL, ASB3504HS and ASB3608.
On scissor lifts, rubber blocks are positioned between the automotive lift and the vehicle's lifting point. The most important factors when selecting the correct rubber block are its height, length, width and the required contact surface.
Other AUTEC Automotive Lifts
Platform and flat-scissor models include ASLP3507N, ASLP3507NW, ASLP3208, ASLP3208FL, ASLP3608, ASLP3608FL, ASLP4008 and ASLP4008FL.
The AM2014 is also a known one-post lift. Four-post models include AL4044, AL5044 and AL8046.
Whether you have an older AUTEC VLT two-post lift or a scissor lift, the model designation, nameplate and dimensions of the existing support allow us to help you find the correct rubber pad, rubber block or rubber support for your AUTEC automotive lift.
