Moto Garage Malta

Moto Garage Malta is a supplier of workshop equipment, garage tools and vehicle accessories based in Siġġiewi, in the south-west of Malta. It is not a repair garage: it sells the lifts, jacks, compressors, power tools and transport gear that mechanics, motorcyclists and keen home enthusiasts need to do the job themselves. The business is listed in our directory of garages in Malta because so many of its customers work in or around garages.

A UK reader will find the range familiar, from motorcycle paddock stands to engine cranes, but the point of buying from a local supplier is simple: you avoid shipping heavy equipment from abroad and you can talk to someone on the island if something needs support.

Lifts, jacks and workshop equipment

The headline line is car and motorbike lifts. The online store lists single post, two post and four post lifts, crosslifts, panel lifts and motorcycle or quad lifts, with rubber lift pads to match. Mid-rise scissor lifts are among the best sellers, and a hydraulic motorcycle lift with a parallel base, foot pump and safety catch is offered for larger bikes.

Beside the lifts sits a full run of garage jacks and jack stands: bottle jacks, electric scissor jacks, hydraulic and pneumatic jacks, transmission jacks, machine jacks and screw jacks. One example is a low-profile three-tonne garage jack with a minimum lifting height of 95mm. Lifting and hoisting tools cover beam clamps, chain blocks, electric hoists and lever hoists, while workshop equipment adds engine cranes and stands, shop presses, coil spring compressors, battery chargers and tyre service tools.

Hydraulic tools, sand blasting cabinets, welding and cutting equipment, metalworking machinery and hand and power tools complete the picture, so a small garage can equip most of a bay from a single source.

Motorcycle and transport accessories

The motorcycle section is a specialist strength. It includes paddock stands, wheel clamps, motorcycle movers such as the U-Turn Motor Mover dolly, which adjusts without tools, and ramps for loading bikes and scooters onto a trailer or into a van. A foldable ramp rated for 340kg is one of the listed items, and ratchet strap sets from Acebikes are sold for securing a bike in transit. Luggage, smartphone holders and communication systems are listed as well.

Transport accessories extend to 4×4 and pick-up owners. Winches, pick-up cranes, LED offroad lights, sirens, jobsite boxes and trailer accessories are all in the range, together with a large selection of cargo lashings and webbing slings. Prices are shown in euros on the shop pages, for instance €44.25 for a 12V air horn, €14.75 for a valve air horn and €9.20 for a two-tonne, six-metre cargo lashing. Air horns, jump starters and cable clamps are there for the practical end of vehicle ownership.

The shop also carries compressors and air tools, from oil-free compressors to air components, and a small gifts section of metal signs, mugs, keychains, wall clocks and thermometers for garage enthusiasts.

Installation, warranties and support

The business offers professional installation of the equipment it sells. If you choose installation when ordering online, its technicians coordinate a time that suits you, which matters for something like a two post lift that must be fitted correctly. Equipment carries the manufacturer's warranty, which varies by product and is set out on each product page.

Help with choosing is part of the service. The right lift depends on vehicle weight and size, available floor space and the type of work, so the team supports you with specifications and advice. Safety matters here, and the shop's own guidance is to follow every manual, wear suitable protective equipment, install and maintain equipment properly and train anyone who will use it.

Brands named on the site include Falco, Mammuth, Acebikes and Fluxon, so equipment from established European makers is on offer rather than anonymous imports.

The business and the area

Moto Garage Malta was founded by a group of riders and car enthusiasts who wanted a dependable source of tools and information for motorbike and car owners. Siġġiewi is a quiet town in the south-west of the island, close to Mdina and Rabat, the Ħaġar Qim temples and the cliffs towards the Blue Grotto. If you are combining a visit with sightseeing, our things to do in Malta page is a useful starting point.

Anyone relocating to Malta with a motorcycle or a project car will probably need equipment at some point, and Malta's long dry summers, described in our Malta weather guide, make working outdoors on a bike realistic for much of the year. Visitors flying in from the UK can check our flights to Malta page, and the best beaches in Malta make a good reward after a day in the workshop.
