WHERE WOULD A HYDRAULIC OR MECHANICAL LIFT BE USED?
A hydraulic lift is the least expensive of the two to purchase and install. It can be used with loads from 1000 to 6000 lbs. It has a maximum carriage size of 10 ft. x 10 ft. or maximum vertical lift of 22 ft. and the capacity to stop at two levels. A mechanical lift is used where larger carriages are needed, where a vertical rise greater than 22 ft. is required, or where the capacity to stop at three or more levels is required.
