Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What kinds of Vehicles can I put on my Lift?
Answer: Cars, trucks, SUVs; anything that fits on the Runways and under the ceiling, up to 9,000
lbs (4,082 kg) each. See Specifications and Usable Area for Wheelbase
restrictions.
Q: How long does it take to raise or lower my Lift?
A: From 45 to 60 seconds.
Q: Do I have to put my Power Unit in a particular location?
A: Yes. The Power Post (the Post that holds the Power Unit) must be located at either the
Driver-Side Front or the Passenger-Side Rear of the Lift. More on this later.
Q: How high does the ceiling have to be?
A: It depends on the height of the Vehicles and how high you raise the Lift. If you are going to put a
tall Vehicle on the Lift and raise it all the way up, you should measure the Vehicle you want to
raise. From there, carefully raise the Vehicle on the Lift and check to make sure there is enough
room. For a rough estimate, assume you will need 88 in / 2,235 mm plus the height of the tallest
Vehicle you are going to raise.
Q: Does it matter if I drive my Vehicles in front first or back them in?
A: We recommend driving your Vehicles in front first, because that makes it easier to center the
Vehicle’s Wheels on the middle of the Runways.
Q: What accessories come with the Lift?
A: Both models come with Drip Trays, a Bottle-Jack Tray, Aluminum Drive-up Ramps, a Caster Kit,
Steel Tire Stops, and Wheel Chocks.
Q: How long can I leave a Vehicle on a raised Runway?
A: As long as you want. Once the Lift is engaged on its Safety Locks, gravity holds it in position, so
a loss of power or a Hydraulic Fluid leak does not impact it; it is going to stay where you left it.
Always leave your Lift either fully lowered or engaged on Safety Locks .
Q: Can I install my Lift outside?
A: No. Your Lift is approved for indoor installation and use.
Outdoor installation is prohibited .
Q: What optional components are available?
A: A Rolling Jack can get the Tires of Vehicles on the Lift up off the Runways, making automotive
service such as brake jobs and suspension work easier to accomplish.
