Choose lifting equipment and workshop accessories as needed
Do you want to be able to work on your car at home? To work efficiently, you need certain car workshop equipment and workshop accessories. In this guide, we go through the workshop equipment that may be needed in a hobby mechanic’s garage.
To start with, you should have lifting equipment so you can lift your vehicle off the ground. There are several different types of lifting equipment for workshops, such as car ramps, jacks, lifting blocks, etc. But if you do not intend to work on the engine, you probably won’t need an engine stand or engine hoist. So, the equipment you need depends on the work you intend to perform.
To work efficiently in your garage, you may also need workshop accessories. Some examples that can come in handy include: paper rolls, tool holders, tyre racks, a fitter’s trolley and painting stands. However, just as with the lifting equipment, you should choose workshop accessories according to your specific needs. And, of course, what you need is based on how you want to work in the garage.
Supplement with other types of workshop equipment

For example, when you are in the middle of something and you realise you don’t have any fasteners.
