Specifications
Customization Options
Gravity Conveyor Tops
For integration with conveyor systems. Roller conveyor tops can be mounted to the platform to transfer items on or off lifts.
Ball Transfer Tops
Platforms can be supplied with pneumatic ball transfers to allow for easy repositioning of items for access to all sides or transferring loads on to or off of lifts.
Fork Pockets
Fork pockets allow the lift to be easily picked up and moved with a fork lift.
Portability/Semi-Live Arrangement
A variety of portability options are available including four casters and semi-live skids with skid spotter.
Bellows Accordion Skirting
Black and yellow vinyl skirting wraps can be added to keep the area underneath the unit free from debris. The pleats expand and contract as the unit raises and lowers.
Pit Mounted Units
Pit-mounted units minimize obstructions by allowing the platform to sit flush with the floor when not in use.
Oversized Platforms
Platforms larger than standard are available. See specification chart for MAX Platform dimensions.
12v Dc + 24v Dc Power Units
Lifts can be configured for DC power with 12 volt or 24 volt motors.
Super Cycle
For extremely high-duty cycles, lifts can be equipped with a super cycle package that extends the recommended time between maintenance to 200,000 cycles.
Lower-Level Limit Switch
The addition of a lower-level limit switch prevents the lift table from traveling below a preset level.
Velocity Fuse
Should the hydraulic hoses be accidentally severed, the addition of a velocity fuse prevents the lift from falling.
Upper Travel Limit Switch
The upper travel limit switch prevents the lift from traveling past a preset height.
Water Wash Down Motor Package
A NEMA 4 motor may be added for use in wash-down applications.
Optional Power Unit Upgrades
Motor upgrades are available for increased lifting speed.

Troubleshooting
Lift will not lower
Possible Cause | Check This |
Down valve may be energized | Check the solenoid in the valve with a volt meter. |
Flow control needs adjustment | Adjust flow control as needed. |
Lift will not raise
Possible Cause | Check This |
Weight of load too heavy | Ensure that the actual weight of the load is at or below maximum allowed. |
Motor not running | Check the main disconnect switch, fuses, and wiring to the motor. A 20 amp designated breaker must be supplied for 110V. |
Hydraulic oil level low | When lift is raised as far as possible, oil level should be 3/4" from bottom of tank. When lift is down, 3/4" from top. |
Lift has reached its upper limit | Upper limit switch may need to be adjusted. |
Motor may be "single phasing" | If motor hums but does not turn, check motor wiring and line fuses. |
Motor voltage too low | Supply voltage should be +/- 10% of the rating at the motor terminals. |
Tank vent plugged | If supplied, remove solid plug from tank and insert vent plug. |
Suction filter clogged | Clean suction filter as described in periodic maintenance. |
Vacuum leak in suction line | Check all fittings in suction line. |
Down valve may be energized | Ensure that the down valve coil is not being energized when the up button is pushed. Verify no stray voltage to down valve coil preventing it from being fully closed. Check the wiring. |
Missing coupling | Ensure that debris is not holding the down valve plunger open. |
Lift fails to hold
Possible Cause | Check This |
Down valve may be leaking | Remove down valve and inspect for debris which may be preventing it from closing. |
Down valve may be energized | Ensure that the down valve coil is not being energized when the up button is pushed. Verify no stray voltage to down valve coil preventing it from being fully closed. Check the wiring. |
Cylinder may be leaking | Check for oil in cylinder in the vent line. |
