All Frame Contact Lifts Must Have A System To Accommodate Lifting Of Low Riding Passenger Cars, As Well As High Frame Trucks, Vans&Sport Utility Vehicles (Suv’s). There Are Three Different Styles Of Arm/Arm Adaptors Used In The Lift Industry To Accommodate All Vehicles.
The First Style Is The Multi-Position Flip-Up Pad Generally Associated With In-Ground Lifts. The Advantage Here Is It Is A Self-Contained Unit. The Disadvantage Of This Style Are:
The High Height For Access Under Low Riding Cars, The Set Up Time To Properly Position The Pads, The Small Surface Area Of Contact Lessens The Stability, And Frequently These Flip Pads Don’t Go High Enough For Some High Frame Vehicles. This Final Disadvantage Can Be Overcome By Purchasing Optional Pad Extenders.
The Second Style Is The Screw Adjustment Lifting Pad. Advantages Of Screw Pads Are They Are Self Contained, And Give A Large Stable Surface Area Contacting The Vehicle. The Disadvantages Are; Screw Pads When Fully Extended Still Don’t Reach All Truck Frames Requiring Optional Extenders, A High Profile When Fully Lowered And Finally A Shop That Must Change The Height Of These Pads Just 3 Times Per Day Between Cars And Trucks, Based On A $40 Shop Rate Will Waste $2000 A Year In Lost Repair Time & Productivity Costs.
Finally The Third Style “Quick-Connect” Stacking Adaptor System Offers Infinite Height Adjustment For High Frame Trucks, Are Easily Positioned, Offer A Large Frame Contact Area, Take Less Than 30 Seconds To Change The Lifting Height Between Cars & Trucks, And Is Low Enough For All Low Riding Cars.
Blind Note To Editorial Dept. $2000/Year Saving Based On #1 Changing The Heights 3x/Day (Which Isn’t Much) =15 Minutes #2 $40 Shop Rate #3 200 Working Days/Year Therefore— 15 Minutes/Day X $40 Shop Rate = $10 Day— $10/Day X 200 Days Per Year =$2000.
The Above Scenario Is Not Mohawk Lift Specific, And Several Lift Companies Use The Same Time Saving Quick Connect Adaptor System That Mohawk Does. Therefore Nobody Can Give You Grief For Picking Up The Above Release Or Being Biased.
