Q: Does the Lift have to be anchored in place?
A: Yes. The Lift Posts must be anchored.
Q: Can I install my Lift outside?
A: The Lift is designed for indoor installation only. Outdoor installation is prohibited.
Q: Can the Lift be used to store boxes of stuff instead of a Vehicle?
A: No. The Lift is not designed to be used in this manner.
Q: How high does my garage ceiling have to be?
A: It depends on the height of the Vehicles you are putting on the Platforms. If you are
parking low-slung Vehicles, then your ceiling does not have to be as high as it would need to be if you
are parking taller Vehicles. Refer to Height Requirements and Will My Car Fit? for additional
information.
Q: Does the Control Panel have to be connected to the Powerside Post?
A: Yes. That location gives the operator a clear view of the Platforms as they are raised and lowered.
Q: Does it matter if I drive my Vehicles in front first or back them in?
A: No. The Lift works great either way. Make sure to park all Vehicles in the middle of the Platform, no
matter which way you drive them in. All four wheels must be completely on the Lift Platform. Do not
park the Vehicle’s Wheels on the Ramp, the Back Stop, or the Side Beams.
Q: How long can I leave a Vehicle on a raised Platform?
A: Indefinitely if the Platform rests on a Safety Lock. Once a Safety Lock is engaged, gravity
holds it in position, so a loss of power does not impact the Lift. Your Vehicle is going to stay where you
left it. Remember to always leave the Platform either on the ground or engaged on a
Safety Lock.
