GENERAL LIFT INFORMATION and FEATURES
FLOOR PLATE MODEL
The following lift is a 2-Column Hydraulic, leaf chain driven unit.
The name/model numbers are designated below:
• Floor Plate (HR8000): 2-Column Lift, Floor Plate Lift type, 8000 lbs. Capacity, Symmetric
Swing Arm set up.
This lift is an 8,000 lb. capacity, 2-Post Lifts. The locking latch system is very similar to
an extension ladder. The locking latch is in contact with the latch rack. As the lift rises
the locking latch drops into place. The locking latch engages in latch rack in 3”
increments starting at about 16” from the ground. The locking latches must be manually
disengaged for the lift to lower. The locking latch is released by pulling the Release Cable
raising the latch up off the latch rack. Once the raise button is pressed, the latch will
automatically reengage after approximately 3" of travel. Heavy bearings and heavy-duty
leaf chains are used throughout the lift. The work is done with the heavy-duty chain
connected to a 2-1/2" cylinder, driven by an electric / hydraulic pump.
