Extended runways: 14,000-lb. vehicles have wheelbases that need specialized equipment to keep them safe and supported. Our extended runways prevent wear and tear on your vehicle. Driving onto the runway is safe and simple for vehicles of all sizes.
Dual-hub cable sheaves: Dual-hub cable sheaves reduce stress, fatigue and wear. Huge 10.5” diameter cable sheaves within the runway and cross tubes combine with massive 2.25” diameter sheave axles. This dramatically improves cable wear and critical component lifespan, which means less money in service-related expenses down the road.
Heavy-duty aircraft cable: This lift features four, 1/2” diameter, 6 x 25 stainless-steel lifting cables that have a breaking strength of over 14,000 lbs. each. This aircraft-quality cable was specifically designed for lifting applications and provides a great balance between abrasion resistance and fatigue.
Flow restrictor: An integrated hydraulic flow restrictor provides a controlled descent in the unlikely event of an unexpected hose rupture.
Large base plates: 10" x 12" base plates provide a solid foundation for every 14K capacity four-post lift.
Spring-loaded safety locks: Safety locks automatically engage continuously during rise, and adjustable safety ladders allow for precise runway leveling, even when installed on sloped floors. This is a crucial feature because even small slopes can impact the safe-keeping of your garage or service bay.
Push-button pneumatic lock release: A simple push-button pneumatic lock release makes lowering operations simple and fast. Aircraft-quality stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders provide years of trouble-free service.
Secondary lock system: A secondary lock system is on constant guard and acts as a slack-cable device in the unlikely event your four-post lift experiences an unexpected cable failure.
Integrated design: Lifting cables, airlines, safety latches and sheaves are all fully enclosed within the structure. That doesn’t mean they’re hard to find: you’re always able to look in and perform a visual inspection during operation.
Adjustable height locking positions: Each column features multiple height locking positions for variable-height parking and infinite leveling.
Electric-hydraulic power system: A maintenance-free electric hydraulic power system assures ultimate dependability. All operator controls are conveniently located within easy reach. Raising and lowering the arms should be as easy as pushing a button—and it is!
Longer approach ramps: These approach ramps were designed a little longer to help when loading low ground-clearance vehicles. It's the little bit that makes a big difference.
Flexible protective conduit: Hydraulic hoses and airlines, if not properly managed, can be a legal and functional nightmare. ALI inspectors routinely write citations and refuse to pass inspected lifts because of visible damage to cables. We route all our cables through flexible, non-metallic tubing that protects against electrical shocks from worn cables, as well as general wear that occurs from heavy use over time.
