2.2 Lift Specifications
There are many custom designs whose specifications may vary from those published for standard models.
Please consult the specific General Arrangement (GA) Drawing to obtain the specifications for application-
specific designs.
2.3 Load Capacity
Load capacity rating is stamped on a metal nameplate attached to lift. This figure is a net capacity rating
for a lift furnished with a standard platform. If optional items are installed on lift after leaving manufacturer,
deduct weight of these from load rating to obtain net capacity.
Do not exceed rated capacity of lift. Loading lift beyond its rated capacity is unsafe, will shorten
operational life of lift, and will void warranty.
2.4 Unbalanced Loading
The stabilization provided is basically for balanced loads. If special attachments extend beyond the length
and/or width dimensions of platform, end and/or side load capacity is reduced 2% for each one-inch
extension from edge of platform. If load is rolling onto platform (in any but fully-lowered position) end
and/or side load capacity is reduced by dividing the rated end/side load by 1.50 to establish an available
“axle” load.
2.5 Pump Pressure
This lift incorporates a unique, positive displacement pump. Therefore, standard factory models of same
manufacture cannot replace it.
Pump can operate efficiently at intermittent pressures up to 3200 PSI and continuous duty to 2500 PSI.
The factory installed safety relief valve is factory-set to stay within parameters of pump and lift
requirements.
2.6 Lift Duty
Autoquip warrants this lift for 60,000 cycles each warranty year. This number of cycles represents normal,
single shift duty. Exceeding this number of cycles shortens life of lift and length of your warranty
It is the responsibility of the user to notify Autoquip whenever a specific application is likely to demand
“above normal” duty from lift. Above normal duty typically requires supplemental design features to
enhance serviceable life of lift and to avoid loss of warranty.
