Key Features

Designed Tough Enough for the Lot and Precise Enough for the Showroom


Every feature of this Autowlift exists because, in our 40 years in the tow industry, we were tired of damage, snagging, broken springs, and bent, inferior devices. We were fixing, buying, and replacing units every month. So we made our own out of necessity — and now we couldn’t operate without our Autowlift.

No Hydraulics Required

Simple manual operation. Nothing to plumb, power, or troubleshoot — the forklift does the lifting.

No Snagging Broken Springs

The springs are protected inside the frame, so there’s nothing hanging out to catch on a bumper or a curb.

No Damaged Oil Pans or Bumpers

A 4" low profile with a smooth top slides under vehicles other equipment can’t clear.

Quick Attach & Detach

On the forks and chained down in about a minute. Off just as fast when you need the forklift back.

Serviceable Bearings

Grease fittings on the bearings mean you maintain it instead of replacing it — and parts stay in stock.

Drop-In Ball Hitch

The included ball hitch turns the same attachment into a yard mover for trailers and boats.

What It Actually Changes

Three Things That Change on Day One


01

Move a vehicle in under a minute — not 15.

Stop wasting labor hours pushing, jump-starting, or waiting on a second driver. One person, one forklift, one vehicle moved.

02

Never pay for another damaged bumper or cracked oil pan.

Every scratch, dent, or leak from bad towing methods costs you money and trust. The Autowlift lifts from the tires — the vehicle never touches metal.

03

Move cars that don’t even run.

No keys. No starting the engine. No driving a damaged, repossessed, or non-running vehicle across your lot ever again.
