2.3 Lift Specifications
Only standard models are shown in the specification table, there are many custom designs whose
specifications may vary from these. Please consult the specific General Arrangement (GA)
Drawing to obtain the specifications for application-specific designs.
2.4 Load Capacity
Load capacity rating is stamped on a metal plate 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.
2.5 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 center. If load is rolling onto platform (in any but fully-lowered
position) end and/or side load capacity is reduced by a 50% impact factor (i.e., divide rated
end/side load by 1.50 to establish an available “axle” load).
2.6 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 2000 PSI and continuous duty to 1500
PSI. Factory installed safety relief valve in pump is factory-set to stay within parameters of pump
and lift requirements.
2.7 Lift Duty
Autoquip standard lifts typically include intermittent duty motors and are designed to “cycle” (one
complete “up” and one complete “down” lift operation) no more frequently than every two minutes
– or approximately 60,000 times (cycles) per year. This is considered “normal” duty.
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.
