RAV / Ravaglioli History



In 1958 Rav built the first "rotating bench" for engines and transmissions. Then, in quick succession, hydraulic cranes, presses and trasmission jacks saw the light. At that time, the first mechanical tyre changer was made along with hydraulic system for removing tyres from Trilex rims, an indication of the company's commitment in the tyre sector.

In 1966, special focus was placed on vehicle lifting: this marked the start of a production trend that, over the years, proved to be unique in the world in terms of quality and performance.

In 1967, Rav launched the first four-post hydraulic lift, followed in 1968 by the two-post model.

In 1968, Rav was among the pioneers in the tyre service sector with the introduction of an electropneumatic car passenger-changer and of an electrohydraulic commercial model.

In 1969 the production of completely electromechanical 2-post screw type lifts began. This system was absolutely innovative at the time.

1972 saw Rav develop the first optical wheel aligner, soon followed by the electronic model (Ravatronic).

In 1979, Rav started making four-post lifts for industrial vehicles, the first fully electromechanical lifts on the market.

In 1982 production began of mobile column lifts.

In 1984 the first electronic wheel balancer was launched and, in 1985, the pantograph lift, for optimising space inside the workshop. In this context, during the following years, scissors lifts were introduced, with vertical lifting, to reduce overall dimensions in the work area even further.

By the time the nineties came around, Rav had made a name for itself as a leader in the garage equipment manufacturing industry.

In 1992, the range of scissors lifts was extended to include models for industrial vehicles, with lifting capacities up to 55,000 kg and lengths of up to 18 metres.

In 1993, the range of piston lifts was launched.
After presenting a new range of tyre changers for cars and trucks, in 1995, Rav made a strong debut in the vehicle testing sector with its test lanes for checking brakes, suspensions and many other functions, both on cars and industrial vehicles.

In 1999, the range of "TOTAL DRIVE" wheel aligners saw the light, a line of high-precision easy-to-use infra-red products, which were immediately a big market success.
