01

AL1 Solid linear van lift

The AL1 Solid Linear Lift stands out for its safety measures that are tailored to prevent underride accidents, enabled by its automatic roll-over flap. The Solid's unique selling point is its see-through platform design, which ensures an excellent rear view when the lift is unused. Another key advantage of the Solid model is the availability of three standard platform choices. For even more convenience, it can be customized with LED platform lights.

AMF-Bruns AL1 Split linear van lift

The AL1 Panorama Linear Lift sets itself apart with its ability to fit large platforms into vehicles with low interior heights, thanks to its unique panorama platform.

Because downtime is costly, Bär aims to maximise the use of your fleet, which is why every Bär hydraulic lift truck is equipped with an internal computer. Combined with the Bär CargoCheck diagnostic software, it allows us to quickly and easily identify and troubleshoot faults so the vehicle can be returned to service as soon as possible.
