Why is my ATLAS PLATINUM PVL12 Lifting Systems lift not raising?

S
Sandra JonesAug 3, 2025
If your ATLAS PLATINUM Lifting System lift isn't raising, several factors could be at play. First, ensure that the lift isn't overloaded by checking the vehicle weight. If the weight is within limits, the motor's rotation might be incorrect; try interchanging the two phases on the main switch. Insufficient oil in the power unit could also be the cause, so add some hydraulic oil. Other potential issues include a faulty UP button (check and replace if needed), a lowering valve that isn't closing properly (check, clean, or replace), a dirty suction tube or pump filter (check and clean), or air in the hydraulic system (bleed the system).
