SOLID, SAFE, PROVEN & CERTIFIED. HEAVY DUTY LIFTS FOR HEAVY DUTY SERVICE

MOHAWK DESIGN

• Mohawk columns are constructed of 3/4" thick forklift masts, for a lifetime of troublefree service
  (5 3/4" 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 low ceiling shops

• 3 1/2" low profile swing arm fits under the lowest riding sports cars

• 3" & 6" stackable truck adaptors are included as standard equipment

Two post lifts offer FULL under vehicle access for all repairs, takes up minimal bay space, while leaving the wheels hanging free for tire, brake or any other necessary repairs.

Mohawk large and stable footprint measures 30" wide and is made of 3/4" thick plate. Mohawk's large base gives stability to the lift, while distributing the load to the shop floor. .

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, self-lubricating, 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.
