MODEL SYSTEM I
10,000 LB CLEAR FLOOR LIFT
SOLID, SAFE, PROVEN & CERTIFIED. HEAVY DUTY LIFTS FOR HEAVY DUTY SERVICE.
MOHAWK DESIGN
Mohawk lifts DO NOT use height restrictive overhead cable covers that limit lifting height.
- Mohawk columns are constructed of 3/4” thick forklift masts, for a lifetime of troublefree service (5 3/4” wide sections).
- Each Mohawk carriage rolls on 8 double-sealed, self-lubricating, steel ball bearing rollers (NOT plastic sliders).
- Two large heavy duty cylinders make for safer, steadier lifting than single cylinder lifts or models with tiny cylinders.
- Easily adjustable overhead stainless steel hydraulic lines can be set at any height (or routed in floor) to accommodate all tall trucks and vans or used in low ceiling shops.
- 3 1/2” low profile swing arms fit under the lowest riding sports cars.
- 3” & 6” stackable truck adaptors are included as standard equipment.
MOHAWK PATENTED INDUSTRY LEADING SAFETY SYSTEMS
- Mohawk Lifts feature all position mechanical safety locks in both columns, starting at the ground, to full lifting height.
- Patented infinite position, internal hydraulic safeties, backed by external pressure compensated flow controls and velocity fuse valving.
- Swing arm restraints automatically engage upon lifting to secure the vehicle, and automatically disengage when the vehicle has been fully lowered.
- The best, and most inclusive warranty in the lift business, 25 years structural, 10 year mechanical, plus limited lifetime cylinder warranty. Mohawk builds the best lifts, with the best warranty.
- Lease/purchase plans available for 1-5 years. Call Mohawk now!
OPERATION
- Hydraulic fluid is pumped between the two cylinders through the overhead stainless steel hydraulic lines.Patented hydraulic synchronization eliminates the need for restrictive height overhead covers, cables, pulleys, equalizer chains or floor plates.
- To raise the carriages Mohawk's System I uses heavy duty leaf chains and twin bearings located on each of the cylinders. Chain lifting eliminates the stretch, fray, maintenance and replacement associated with cable or screw lifts.
- Mohawk carriages roll on eight double sealed, selflubricating, steel ball bearing rollers, for a lifetime of maintenance-free operation. Mohawk bearings are longer lasting, with less friction and wear than competitive lifts using plastic slide blocks that need constant greasing and maintenance.
