BACKGROUND

Heavy duty inground "two-post" hydraulic lifts are considered the industry standard for maintenance of heavy duty vehicles. This design lift offers maximum accessibility to the undercarriage and wheels for routine vehicle maintenance.

Environmental concerns regarding soil contamination of older inground systems is causing a shift from this earlier design to the "above ground" design in many lift applications. High installation costs of inground type lifts and future environmental concerns (soil monitoring in many applications) has hastened the move away from traditional inground twopost lifts. However, the basic premise of driving a vehicle into a clear floor bay, pressing a button to raise the vehicle to the desired work position, and having optimum accessibility to perform the work required (in a safety conscious manner) is what all lift systems would like to achieve.

The LoRiser Lift was designed with the above considerations in mind. It is designed for wheel service and brake work in that the wheel is raised to a maximum height of 24" above the floor. Inherent in this design are many benefits:

  • Low costs, easy installation in any maintenance bay.
  • Enviromentally friendly design with double containment.
  • Fast set-up time with wheel spotting dishes.
  • Standard "off the shelf" components keeps initial price low and dependability factor high.
  • Two-year warranty by the manufacturer.
