The ACL is renovating its Diagnostic Centre

Two new lifting bridges

The Diagnostic Centre will be equipped with a new MAHA lifting bridge, a high-quality professional piece of equipment designed to lift vehicles in mechanical workshops, technical inspection centres and car dealerships. Manufactured in Germany, MAHA bridges are renowned for their robustness, precision and safety. Their lifting capacity ranges from 3.5 to 6.5 tonnes, depending on the model.

A new Nussbaum lifting bridge, equipped with the latest control technology, will also be installed. This state-of-the-art equipment is known for meeting the highest standards of precision, safety and versatility. The lift incorporates the Argos Touchless system developed by CEMB, a revolutionary geometry control solution using high-definition cameras that scan the vehicle without any tools touching the rims. “This method guarantees exceptional speed and reliability, while preserving the integrity of even the most demanding vehicles. All new bridges will be installed flush with the ground, allowing easy access for all types of cars, including sports cars, exotic cars, hypercars and lowered models, which can thus be checked without constraint,” explains Dany Neves, Diagnostic Centre Manager, before adding: “The focus is on accurate and modern testing, using innovative technologies that ensure quality service and an optimal experience for every customer.”

Finally, new non-slip epoxy flooring will be installed throughout the Diagnostic Centre.

“This renovation is a significant and essential investment on several levels. On the one hand, our technicians will be able to work in a more modern, safer and more comfortable environment. On the other hand, our members and non-members will benefit from more booking slots and even more accurate and efficient tests. Our capacity was close to its limits, and we had to carry out this renovation in order to increase our capacity,” explains Louis-Nicolas Bier, ACL’s Chief Operating Officer.

More than 15,000 tests per year

As a reminder, the Diagnostic Centre carried out nearly 8,376 tests in 2024. In addition, 5,307 tests were carried out by its technicians during the ‘Lighting and Tyres’ campaign.

Moreover, 1,200 technical inspections were carried out by the SNCT on the Diagnostic Centre’s infrastructure in Bertrange and on 259 ‘historic vehicle’ statuses.

“Throughout the year, our Diagnostic Centre is at the service of our members. In fact, they gave us a satisfaction rating of 98%, meaning that more than 9 out of 10 people recommend our service. This is a real recognition, and the renovation of our work tools can only be beneficial in continuing to carry out our tests and inspections with seriousness and efficiency,” Neves says.
