What Autolift does

Autolift S.r.l. is an Italian manufacturer of mobility and accessibility equipment for disabled persons, headquartered in Pegognaga, Mantua. The company produces three core product lines: electro-hydraulic wheelchair lifts for vehicles (internal twin-arm lifts in aluminum PIUMA and steel ONDA series, external under-chassis lifts including the F6 Multilink EVO ultra-thin drawer system, and bus lifts such as the F12 with Multidrive mechanism); pool lifts under the i-swim brand (i-swim and i-swim2 mobile, i-swim3 fixed); and a vehicle fitting solutions portfolio comprising M1-certified seats, aluminum flooring systems (ALUFLOOR, RAIL-IN), wheelchair restraint kits, and aluminum ramps.

The underlying technology is electro-hydraulic mechanical engineering with patented ONDA solutions for structural rigidity, 100% aluminum construction for corrosion resistance, and operating ranges from -30°C to +70°C. Products carry multiple EU regulatory certifications including ISO-9001, CE marking under Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE, UNI EN ISO 10535 for disabled-person lifts, and 93/42/CEE Medical Device Directive for pool lifts. Autolift holds Mercedes-Benz VanPartner approval as a recognized commercial vehicle accessibility supplier.

The business operates on a quote-based hardware sales model. Distribution combines direct sales through a multilingual website and Italian sales office with channel sales via vehicle conversion specialists and upfitters across EMEA; a dedicated spare parts portal supports after-sales revenue. Customer segments span private vehicle owners with disabilities, public transport and emergency services (ambulances, civil protection, buses, school buses), pool and SPA facilities, and commercial vehicle operators. The company was founded by Marco Gallingani and Gabriele Ovi, leveraging prior experience in the lifting equipment field, and reports 11-50 employees with €50,000 in registered capital.
