1.2.1	EQUIPMENT BEING OFFERED MUST BE A MODEL THAT HAS BEEN IN PRODUCTION FOR A MINIMUM OF 5 YEARS. A USERS LIST MUST BE AVAILABLE AT THE BUYER’S REQUEST.

1.2.2	ON REQUEST, THE BUYER MUST RECEIVE A CURRENT USERS LIST FOR THE SPECIFIED STYLE AND LIFT CAPACITY.

1.3	ALL MATERIAL THICKNESS AND STRUCTURAL DIMENSIONS ARE MINIMUMS DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES UNLESS NOTED AS FOLLOWS;  0.25 INCHES FOR DIMENSIONS LESS THAN 10 INCHES;  1.0 INCHES FOR DIMENSIONS FROM 10 INCHES TO 5 FEET INCLUSIVE;  3.0 INCHES FOR DIMENSIONS GREATER THAN 5 FEET.

2.0   LIFT

2.1	COMPLETE LIFT ASSEMBLY SHALL CONSIST OF AN ELECTRIC OVER HYDRAULIC LIFT UNIT, CONTROLS, ANY ACCESSORIES AS SPECIFIED HEREIN.

2.2	LIFTING CAPACITY WILL BE 7,000 LBS. MINIMUM.

2.3	LIFTING STROKE WILL BE 72” MINIMUM. THIS DIMENSION IS MEASURED FROM THE FLOOR TO UNDERNEATH THE SWING ARM WHEN THE LIFT IS AT FULL HEIGHT. MEASUREMENT TO THE TOP OF THE SWING ARM SHALL NOT BE ADDED TO THE VERTICAL TRAVEL TO ARRIVE AT LIFTING STROKE.

2.3.1	LIFTING HEIGHT WILL BE 76” MINIMUM. THIS MEASUREMENT IS MEASURED FROM THE FLOOR TO THE TOP OF THE LIFTING PAD WHEN THE LIFT IS AT FULL HEIGHT AND THE LIFTING PAD IS AT ITS LOWEST POSITION.

2.3.2	LIFTING HEIGHT WILL BE 79” WITH 3” TRUCK ADAPTER, 82” WITH 6” TRUCK ADAPTER AND 85” WHEN THE 3” AND 6” ADAPTERS ARE STACKED TO 9”.

2.3.3	GRAVITY ACTIVATED LOCKS IN EACH COLUMN WORKING INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER SHALL START LOCKING AT A MINIMUM OF FIVE (5) INCHES OFF THE FLOOR. THE MECHANICAL LOCKS IN EACH COLUMN WILL ENGAGE EVERY THREE (3) INCHES THEREAFTER TO FULL LIFTING HEIGHT.

2.3.3.1	THE LOCK BODY WILL BE MADE OF 3/4” THICK, A-36 GRADE STEEL MEASURING 4”X6”.

2.3.3.2	EACH INDIVIDUAL LOCKING DEVICE SHALL BE CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THE ENTIRE RATED LOAD OF THE LIFTING LEG.

2.3.3.3	THE LOCKING MECHANISM SHALL BE MECHANICALLY OPERATED AND SHALL NORMALLY BE ENGAGING A LOCKED POSITION.

2.3.4	THE MECHANICAL LOCKS ARE RELEASED MANUALLY. THE MECHANICAL LOCKS WILL RE-ENGAGE AUTOMATICALLY EVERY TIME THE LIFT IS RAISED. THE MECHANICAL LOCKS SHALL ALLOW THE OPERATOR TO RELEASE THE LOCKS AND LOWER THE LIFT WITHOUT CONTINUING TO HOLD A LOCK RELEASE. AIR OPERATED LOCK RELEASE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE DUE TO RELIANCE ON COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.

2.4	LIFTING SPEED WILL BE 45 SECONDS MINIMUM FROM THE FLOOR TO FULL HEIGHT.

2.5	LIFTING COLUMN

2.5.1	EACH COLUMN WILL BE CONSTRUCTED OF 3/4-INCH “R-34” FORKLIFT CHANNEL AND BE RIGIDLY SUPPORTED AND JOINED TOGETHER WITH 3/4-INCH STEEL PLATE USING 3 POINT FILLET WELDS. FORMED, TUBULAR, OR BENT COLUMNS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.

2.5.2	EACH COLUMN WILL BE A MINIMUM OF 15-1/2” WIDE X 7” DEEP. THESE LARGER HEAVY DUTY COLUMNS GIVE BETTER, SAFER SUPPORT WHEN LIFTING HEAVIER, UNEVEN LOADS. SMALLER LIGHTER DUTY COLUMNS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

2.5.3	EACH COLUMN WILL HAVE A BASE PLATE MADE FROM 3/4” THICK GRADE A-36 STEEL PLATES, MINIMUM. THE BASE PLATE WILL BE 26-5/8” X 15”, MINIMUM. THIS LARGE BASE PLATE IS DESIGNED TO HAVE LESS THAN 50 PSI OF PRESSURE ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR WITH A FULL LOAD.

2.5.4	EACH COLUMN SHALL BE ROTATED AT A 45 ANGLE TOWARD THE VEHICLE. THESE ROTATED COLUMNS WILL ALLOW VEHICLE DOORS TO OPEN FULLY FOR INTERIOR AND UNDER DASH ACCESS. THE COLUMNS BEING SET AT A 45 ANGLE ALLOWS THE INSIDE OF THE COLUMN TO FACE TOWARD THE VEHICLE’S CENTER OF GRAVITY. THIS DESIGN MEANS LESS WEIGHT AND STRESS ON ALL ROLLER BEARINGS AND STRESSES ON THE COLUMNS. LIFTS WITHOUT ROTATED COLUMNS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. 
	
2.6	CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY

2.6.1	EACH COLUMN WILL HAVE A CARRIAGE CONSTRUCTED OF 3/4-INCH STEEL PLATES JOINED TO A 3/8-INCH BACKING PLATE BY 3 POINT FILLET WELDS, MINIMUM.

2.6.2	THE CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY WILL ROLL UP AND DOWN SMOOTHLY IN THE FORKLIFT MAST COLUMNS ON FOUR (4) 4 INCH DOUBLE SEALED SELF-LUBRICATING STEEL BALL BEARING ROLLERS. PLASTIC OR NYLON TYPE SLIDE BLOCKS AND BUSHING TYPE ROLLERS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.

2.6.3	THE CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY SHALL NOT REQUIRE ANY MONTHLY CLEANING WITH SOLVENTS OR ANY LUBRICATION. ALL WEAR SURFACES SHALL BE COMPLETELY SEALED AND SELF LUBRICATING WITH NO GREASE REQUIREMENTS.

2.6.4	THE CARRIAGE WILL ALSO INCLUDE (4) 2 INCH DOUBLE SEALED SELF LUBRICATING STEEL NEEDLE BEARING ROLLERS ACTING AS THRUST BEARINGS TO ELIMINATE THE STRESS OF UNEVENLY DISTRIBUTED LOADS. PLASTIC OR NYLON TYPE BEARINGS OR SLIDE BLOCKS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE
 
2.6.5	THE CARRIAGE WILL BE LIFTED BY 1 3/4” WIDE #BL- 646 LEAF CHAIN (MINIMUM), ROLLING OVER TWO (2) DOUBLE SEALED SELF-LUBRICATING CHAIN BEARINGS. SINGLE CHAIN BEARING AND BUSHING TYPE ROLLERS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.

2.6.6	CARRIAGES WILL SUPPORT THE SWING ARMS BY SANDWICHING THEM IN BETWEEN 2 PIECES OF 3/4 - INCH STEEL PLATE THAT IS JOINED TOGETHER BY 3 POINT FILLET WELDS. THE SWING ARMS WILL BE HELD IN PLACE BY A 1-1/2 INCH STEEL SWING ARM BOLT, SECURED BY A NYLON JAM NUT. SWING ARMS THAT ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY A “TOP PLATE AND BOTTOM PLATE” ON THE CARRIAGE ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE DUE TO UNACCEPTABLE FLEX AND BEING PRONE TO PREMATURE WEAR.

2.7	LIFTING ARMS

2.7.1	LIFTING ARMS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED OF TWO PIECES OF GRADE A-500-B STRUCTURAL TUBING. THIS TUBING MUST HAVE A MINIMUM TENSILE STRENGTH OF 75,000 PSI AND MINIMUM YIELD STRENGTH OF 60,000 PSI.

2.7.2	THE FIRST PIECE CALLED “SWING ARM” WILL BE MADE OF 3” X 5” X 1/4” WALL THICKNESS. THE SECOND PIECE CALLED “SLIDER” WILL BE MADE FROM 2” X 4” X 3/8” THICK WALL. SLIDER ENDS SHALL BE CAP WELDED CLOSED ON BOTH ENDS FOR ADDED STRENGTH.

2.7.3	LIFTING ARMS WILL ACCOMMODATE THE SMALLEST OF COMPACT CARS THROUGH LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS AND VANS WEIGHING UP TO 7,000 LBS. 

2.7.4	FRONT LIFTING ARMS SHALL HAVE A MINIMUM REACH OF 24-1/2” AND A MAXIMUM REACH OF 40-1/2”.

2.7.5	REAR LIFTING ARMS SHALL HAVE A MINIMUM REACH OF 40-1/2” AND A MAXIMUM REACH OF 66-3/4”.

2.7.6	ASYMMETRIC SWING ARMS (SHORT FRONT SWING ARMS AND LONGER REAR SWING ARMS) POSITION THE VEHICLE’S CENTER OF GRAVITY BEHIND OR TO THE REAR OF THE COLUMNS. AGAIN, THIS ALLOWS FOR MORE ROOM TO FULLY OPEN THE DOORS FOR INTERIOR AND UNDER DASH WORK.

2.7.7	LIFTING ARMS WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH ARM RESTRAINTS THAT OPERATE AUTOMATICALLY. MANUALLY OPERATED ARM RESTRAINTS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.

2.7.8 	SWING ARM RESTRAINTS WILL BE MADE FROM 1” DIAMETER HEAT TREATED ROCKWELL HARDNESS 50/55 GRADE 8 STEEL PINS THAT SLIDE THROUGH THE CARRIAGE AND ARE FORCED DOWNWARD BY A TENSIONING SPRING. THE TENSIONING SPRING FORCES THE PIN TO WEDGE AGAINST THE SWING ARM SECURING IT IN PLACE. THE SWING ARMS AUTOMATICALLY SECURE THEMSELVES WHEN THE LIFT IS RAISED AND RELEASE AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE LIFT IS LOWERED ALL THE WAY DOWN.

2.7.8.1	ARM RESTRAINTS WILL BE OF AN INFINITE POSITION DESIGN CAUSING ARMS TO BE HELD IN PLACE AT EVERY POINT IN THEIR ROTATION.  GEARED TEETH TYPE ARM RESTRAINTS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE DUE TO FINITE POSITION RESTRAINT LOCATIONS AND CHIPPED GEARS FOUND ON THIS DESIGN WHICH WHEN “CHIPPED” CAUSE ARMS TO NOT HOLD POSITION.

2.7.9	LIFTING PADS WILL BE MADE FROM 3-3/4” X 5-3/4” STEEL PLATE WITH STEEL CORRUGATED SURFACE FOR POSITIVE GRIPPING ON FLAT SURFACES OR LIFTING BY UNIBODY PINCH WELDS. RUBBER OR PLASTIC PADS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE DUE TO WEAR & DECREASE CO-EFFICIENT OF FRICTION AS RUBBER PADS GET OILY.

2.7.10	LIFTING PADS MUST HAVE A 3-3/4” X 5-3/4” LIFTING SURFACE AT ALL TIMES INCLUDING WHEN TRUCK ADAPTERS ARE IN USE. SMALLER LIFTING SURFACES SUCH AS FLIP-UP PADS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.

2.8.3	OPTIONAL IN FLOOR HYDRAULIC LINES ROUTED IN THE CONCRETE SLAB USING SEAMLESS STAINLESS STEEL HYDRAULIC LINES. THIS FEATURE LEAVES NO OVERHEAD LINES ALLOWING FOR TALLER VEHICLES TO BE LIFTED THE FULL 6’ LIFTING HEIGHT AND OVERHEAD CRANES TO MOVE FREELY AROUND THE LIFT.

2.8.4	WIDTH BETWEEN COLUMNS WILL BE 7’ 7-1/8” STANDARD, MINIMUM. WIDTH CAN BE ADJUSTABLE TO ACCOMMODATE WIDER VEHICLES OR NARROWED FOR TIGHT BAYS.

2.8.5	WIDTH BETWEEN LIFTING ARMS WILL BE 6’ 11-3/8” MINIMUM; ADJUSTABLE TO ACCOMMODATE WIDER VEHICLES.
