The Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) has issued a statement announcing that it is aware of news reports that Complete Hydraulic Service & Equipment Sales, Inc. of Franklin, Ind., is under investigation by the FBI.
According to ALI, Complete Hydraulic Service & Equipment Sales, Inc. is not an ALI member and does not offer products that have been tested or evaluated for electrical and mechanical safety by ALI or any of the OSHA Accredited Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories authorized by ALI. ALI is not involved in the investigation and therefore cannot comment on it.
ALI encourages anyone with concerns about the capacity rating, labeling or safety of his or her Complete Hydraulic vehicle lift to contact a local ALI Certified Lift Inspector to conduct a thorough safety and performance inspection. ALI Certified Lift Inspectors have been proven qualified to thoroughly inspect any vehicle lift, regardless of manufacturer, in accordance with ANSI/ALI ALOIM:2008, the national standard covering vehicle lift operation, inspection and maintenance.
