Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What kinds of Vehicles can I put on my Parking Lift?
Answer: Cars, trucks, SUVs; anything that fits on the Upper Platform, up to 7,000 lbs. (3,175 kg).
The Lower Platform holds up to 9,000 lbs. (4,082 kg).
Q: What is the difference between the HD-973P and the HD-973PX?
A: The HD-973PX is a taller Lift with a higher rise and extended Runways.
Q: Can any of the four Posts be the ‘Power Post’?
A: No; the only two possible locations for the Power Post are either the
Front Driver-Side
or the
Rear Passenger-Side
. This will be explained later.
Q: Does the Lift have to be anchored in place?
A: Yes; you must anchor the Lift.
Q: How high does the ceiling have to be?
A: It depends on the height of the Vehicles you are putting on the Runways and how high you raise
the Platforms. If you are going to put a tall Vehicle on the Lift and raise it all the way up, you
should check to make sure there is enough room.
Q: Does it matter if I drive my Vehicles in front first or back them in?
A: We strongly recommend driving your Vehicle in front first, because that makes it easier to center
the Vehicle’s wheels on the Runways. Also, remember to put the front wheels up against the Tire
Stops and chock the Rear Wheels.
Q: Will the Cables really hold my Vehicles?
A: Yes. Your Lift has 0.4 inch thick, aircraft-quality wire rope that runs through oversized sheaves,
reducing friction on them and extending their life with minimal maintenance.
Q: How long can I leave a Vehicle on a raised Runway?
A: As long as you want; once the Lift is engaged on a Safety Lock, gravity holds it in position, so a
loss of power does not impact it; it is going to stay where you left it. Always leave the
Platforms either fully lowered or engaged on a Safety Lock.
Q: Can I install my Lift outside?
A: HD-973P and PX Lifts are approved for indoor installation and use only. Outdoor installation
is prohibited. For outdoor installations, see models
HD-973PG and PGX.
Q: How long does it take to raise the Platforms?
A: The Upper Platform takes about 90 seconds; the Lower Platform takes about 50 seconds.
