Joyce-Cridland single and two post in-ground auto lift models go back a long way but the company goes back even further. Joyce was established in 1873 but we are not sure what they actually made back then. In our archives we have an original auto lift sales catalog with brochures and pricing that is fun to look at. Joyce had many very specialized auto lift models like one that was designed exclusively to handle all Volkswagen and Porsche models on the road in the 1960’s. In 1963 an auto dealership’s cost for a new lift was $602.65 and if you operated a transit bus garage you could purchase a new bus lift for $1,526.00. Wow, things have really changed since the 1960’s in the auto lift industry.
Today, Joyce remains in business but is now known as the Joyce-Dayton Company and is no longer involved with automotive lift market. They sold the automotive division of the business off in the 1990’s to ALM who later closed it down.
There is still a large of population of Joyce auto lifts in use today and each of them have one thing in common, they are maintained in proper working order with SVI repair parts.
