SP-7XE/F Full-Rise Scissor Lift 10 P/N 5900010 — Rev. B3 — September 2023
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: How much weight can the SP-7XE/F raise?
Answer: The SP-7XE/F can lift Vehicles up to 7,000 pounds (3,175 kg).
Q: The SP-7XEF is described as “flush mount”, what does that mean?
A: It means the Bases of the SP-7XEF are installed below the surface of the Concrete, in Concrete
Cutouts. The tops of the Platforms are flush with the Concrete floor, so Vehicles just drive straight
on—no Drive-up Ramps are required. Sufficient Concrete depth is required under the Concrete
Cutout. See Prepare the Concrete Cutouts: SP-7XEF only for more details.
Q: The SP-7XE/F is called a “Full-Rise” Lift, what does that mean?
A: It means that the SP-7XE/F can raise a Vehicle almost six feet off the ground, which is higher than
most other Scissor Lifts. Additionally, the SP-7XE/F incorporates eight Safety Lock positions,
which means the Lift may be locked at the height most convenient for the work.
Q: Can the SP-7XE/F be installed outside?
A: No. The SP-7XE/F is approved for indoor installation and use only. Outdoor installation is
prohibited.
Q: Can I put the Console on either side of the SP-7XE/F?
A: Yes. The Hydraulic Hoses that come with the SP-7XE/F are long enough to support the Console
positioned up to 39.25 inches (999 mm) away from the Base on either side.
Q: What if I want to raise a Vehicle that is slightly over the weight capacity of the Lift?
A: This is not an intended use of the product. Do not attempt to raise a Vehicle that is
heavier than the rated capacity of your Lift. If you do, you void your warranty, you could damage
the Lift and/or the Vehicle you are raising, and you jeopardize the safety of people under or near
the Lift.
Q: What do the Safety Locks do?
A: Safety Locks use gravity and intelligent engineering to hold the Platforms up once the Safety Locks
are engaged. Even if the Lift loses power or the Hydraulic Hoses are cut, the Platforms stay where
they are if they are engaged on a Safety Lock. Only leave your Lift either fully lowered or
engaged on a Safety Lock! Additionally, NEVER work under a vehicle if the Lift is
not engaged on a Safety Lock!
Q: Which end of the SP-7XE/F is the “front”?
A: There is no front or back. You can drive Vehicles onto and off the Lift in either direction.
Q: The SP-7XE/F is described as “frame-engaging”, what does that mean?
A: It means the Platforms (specifically the Rubber Blocks on the Platforms) contact the frame of the
Vehicle to raise it. Put another way, the Vehicle is not raised by its wheels.
Q: The space between the Platforms is too wide for my small Vehicle. What can I do?
A: You can purchase the optional Lift Arm Kit. The Lift Arms extend into the space between the
Platforms, providing additional options for smaller Vehicles.
Q: Is there a Lift Arm Attachment for the SP-7XE?
Y: See page 52 for more information on the optional Lift Arm Kit.
