BACKGROUND

El Metro shop currently has a wire mobile lift that is 17 years old, which exceeds their expected useful life of 15 years. Given its age and the frequency of repairs needed, El Metro has concerns that any further attempts to repair these lifts may result in a safety hazard and a long-term liability. Therefore, acquiring a new mobile lift will assure the mechanics their safety and reliability of the equipment when doing vehicle repairs.
