INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION FOR 

FLOOR PLATE STYLE AND OVERHEAD BEAM STYLE 

 2-COLUMN HYDRAULIC LIFTS 

 
 

PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION BEFORE STARTING TO INSTALL THE LIFT 

 

STEP 1

 

 

 

 

 

After unloading the lift, place it near the installation location. 

 

STEP 2

 

 

 

 

 

Remove the shipping bands and packing materials from the unit. 

 

STEP 3

 

 

 

 

 

Remove the packing brackets and bolts holding the two columns together. 

Do not discard 

bolts, they are used in the assembly of the lift

 

STEP 4

 

 

 

 

 

Once the power unit column location is decided, insure that the proper lift placement is 

observed from walls and obstacles. Also, check the ceiling height for clearance in this 

location. Note the power unit column can be located on either side. It is helpful to try to 

locate it on the lift to save steps during operation. 

 

STEP 5

:    

 

Figure 5  

Page 19

 

Assemble the uprights to the columns on model Overhead Beam Style Lift (the Floor Plate 

Style Lift does not have uprights.). Raise the columns to a vertical position. 

 

STEP 6

:       

 

 

 

Position the columns facing each other 134” outside base plates. 

 

STEP 7

:    

Figure 4  

Page 18   

 

 

Using a 3/4” concrete drill, drill the anchor holes in the main side column, installing anchors 

as you go. Use a block of wood or rubber mallet to drive anchor bolts in. Drill to a minimum 

depth of 4” to insure maximum holding power. Drilling through concrete (recommended) will 

allow the anchor to be driven thru the bottom if the threads are damaged. 

 

STEP 8

:       

 

 

 

Check to make sure side-to-side and front-to-back are level. Use 3/4 washers or shim 

stock, placing shims as close as possible to the hole locations. This will prevent bending the 

column bottom plates. Tighten the 3/4” anchor bolts to 130 ft-lbs. of torque. 

 

STEP 9

:    

Figure 5  

Page 19  

Using a tape measure, measure from back corner of the base on main side column to the 

opposites back corner of the offside column to insure legs are square.
