Hofmann is a long-established German manufacturer of workshop equipment and is now part of the Snap-on Group. In Europe, the Hofmann brand is represented by Snap-on Equipment GmbH in Winhöring, Germany. Hofmann® is particularly well known for wheel service equipment, wheel balancers, tyre changers, wheel alignment systems, vehicle inspection equipment and vehicle lifts.
We supply matching Rubber Pads, Rubber Lift Pads, rubber lift supports, rubber pads, Support Plates and Support Plate Rubber for a wide range of Hofmann vehicle lift models. Older two-post lifts from the duolift, monolift and quattrolift series are especially common. Many of these lifts are still in daily operation and are frequently identified by model number, nameplate or spare part reference.
At Böck®, you will find Rubber Lift Pads for Hofmann vehicle lifts that are designed to replace worn or damaged lift pads. The model list provides an initial reference. However, the correct replacement should always be selected by comparing the dimensions, the existing Support Plate and the technical drawing shown on the respective product page.

How to Choose the Correct Rubber Pads for Hofmann Vehicle Lifts
Correct identification is particularly important for Hofmann vehicle lifts because many older lift models are still in daily workshop use. A Rubber Lift Pad for a duolift GTE 2500 is not necessarily compatible with a duolift MTF 3000, duolift MSE 5000, GT 2500, GT 280 or ST 2500. Even lifts with similar lifting capacities may use different Support Plates, threads, pins, bolt patterns or support plate designs.
Frequently requested Hofmann Rubber Pads and Rubber Lift Pads include those for older two-post lifts such as the duolift GTE 2500, duolift BT 2500, duolift BTE 3200, duolift MTF 3000, duolift MTE 3000, duolift MSE 5000 and duolift MSE 5500. Spare part designations such as GE 2.5, GE 3.0, GS 5.0, GT 2.5, GT 2,5 DB, GT 2500, GT 280, STE 2500 and VT 300 are also commonly associated with older Hofmann vehicle lifts.
As differences may exist depending on the production year, lift version or installed Support Plate, you should always measure the existing support plate before ordering. Compare the dimensions with the technical drawings and measurements shown on the product page. This helps avoid incorrect orders and allows you to identify the correct Rubber Lift Pad for your Hofmann vehicle lift more reliably.
Hofmann Rubber Lift Pads for Older and Current Vehicle Lifts
Rubber Pads and Support Plate Rubber are common wear parts, especially on older Hofmann vehicle lifts. Daily workshop use, vehicle weight, dirt, oil and ageing can cause the lift pads to become hard, cracked or damaged. Replacing them in time helps protect the vehicle lifting points and ensures a secure contact surface on the Support Plate.
For four-post lifts such as the quattrolift 4000 S, quattrolift 4000 SL and quattrolift 4000 WA, wheel alignment, vehicle reception and wheel-free lifting applications are often the primary focus. It is therefore important to determine whether you require a standard Rubber Pad, a runway pad, a wheel-free lifting pad or another accessory.
For the variolift 3500 and other scissor lifts, not only the model designation but also the design of the existing Rubber Lift Pad is important. The length, width, height and contact surface should always be compared with the existing part and the dimensions shown on the product page.
Not Sure Which Part You Need? We're Happy to Help.
You are welcome to contact us by email. For reliable identification, we require photos of the lift nameplate, a top-view photo of the existing Rubber Pad, and the dimensions of the Support Plate.
The most important measurements are the diameter, height and, if the Rubber Pad has more than one hole, the centre-to-centre hole spacing. Information such as the model number, serial number, existing mounting style, bolt pattern, thread or pin type, and the condition of the old Rubber Lift Pad is also very helpful.
We carefully review your information and compare it with our available Rubber Pads, Rubber Lift Pads and Support Plates. This allows us to provide a practical recommendation before you place your order. If you are unsure, our team will be happy to assist you.
Böck® Quality for Professional Workshops and Vehicle Lifts
Rubber Pads and Rubber Lift Pads may be small components, but they are subjected to heavy daily use in professional workshops. They protect vehicle lifting points, improve the contact surface and replace worn Support Plate Rubber or damaged lift pads on vehicle lifts.
At Böck®, we focus on outstanding quality, precise manufacturing and long service life. Our Rubber Pads and Rubber Lift Pads are designed for continuous professional workshop use. We keep the most common versions in stock so that worn lift pads can be replaced quickly.
To ensure you select the correct replacement, we always recommend comparing your existing part with the dimensions and technical drawings shown on the product page. When the model number, dimensions, bolt pattern and Support Plate all match, identifying the correct Rubber Pad for your Hofmann vehicle lift becomes much more reliable.
FAQ
- 1. Does every Hofmann Rubber Pad fit every model listed?
No. The model list is intended as a guide only. Depending on the year of manufacture, lift version and installed Support Plate, the Rubber Lift Pads may differ. Always check the dimensions, bolt pattern and technical drawing before ordering.
- 2. Are Hofmann and Hofmann Megaplan Rubber Lift Pads the same?
No. Hofmann Equipment (Snap-on) should not automatically be confused with Hofmann Megaplan. Hofmann Megaplan uses its own lift series and components. Therefore, always verify the lift nameplate and the existing mounting system before ordering.
- 3. Why should worn Hofmann Rubber Pads be replaced?
Worn, hardened or damaged Rubber Pads can reduce the quality of the lifting contact with the vehicle. Durable Böck® Rubber Lift Pads replace worn Support Plate Rubber with high-quality workshop-grade components. Many popular versions are available from stock, allowing your vehicle lift to be back in service quickly.
