From a humble beginning in 1951, Molnar Hoists (a part of the Molnar Engineering group) has since grown to become Australia's largest hydraulic vehicle hoist manufacturer.
The company first opened for business as Green Dragon Steering and Wheel Alignment. Operating from an old stone building in Pultney Street Adelaide, Green Dragon specialised in wheel alignment, wheel balancing and chassis straightening. After only three months of trading, the company doubled in size and the stone building was quickly replaced with a new workshop.
With business continuing to thrive, it was not long before Green Dragon outgrew the Pultney Street Workshop and moved to larger premises in Gilbert Street where early development on Australia's first Two Post Hoist began. Frank Molnar patented the ‘2 Post Hoist’ in 1972 and from then product sales and popularity grew.
Following the launch of the hoist business, Molnar continued to expand in size and momentum. Today the company employs over 65 people across two divisions – Molnar Hoists and Molnar Laser (industrial metal cutting specialists). Now operating from a sizeable facility in Brompton South Australia, our products are exported throughout Australia and New Zealand, and to Asia, Europe, Africa, India, the Middle East and Pacific Regions.
