Mohawk Scissor Lift Tips And Info

As an industry leader in lifting products and technology since 1981, a Mohawk scissor lift is designed to provide quality workmanship, durability and safety. That said, what features and benefits can you expect from their line of scissor lifts? Here's a closer look.

Mohawk Scissor Lift USL-6000

The USL 6000 is ideal for any size of auto repair shop or garage, or even for home garage use. It features a 6,000 pound weight capacity which is ample for cars, minivans and most SUV's and pickup trucks as well. Full lifting height is achieved in less than 2 minutes and it is a 'full rise' making for increased space savings. The swing arms are fully adjustable for added maneuverability.

One of the nicer aspects with this lift is in its portability. It can be used inside or outside, as long as it has concrete underneath of it for support, but it can also be easily moved about the shop and used as a portable dolly by one person. This makes it so convenient for everyday use.

Another nice things about automotive scissor lifts such as this Mohawk lift, is that they provide unrestricted access to do the repairs to any vehicle you need to work on. There is no post in the way to prohibit access as other lifts. You can easily work on wheels, brakes, exhausts and other areas such as the transmission, oil pans and much more of course. It's also ideal for body repair shops.

Finally, you have no installation as you do with a 2 post lift or 4 post lift. The USL-6000 comes fully assembled and ready for use immediately. Each of the scissor legs has a 3 inch heavy duty hydraulic cylinder to power the unit up and down. A built-in factory overload sensor eliminates the guesswork in figuring out how much the lift can load and makes the unit much safer.

Mohawk Mid Rise Auto Lift HR-6

As a mid rise auto lift, the Mohawk HR-6 is an excellent option. It has a 6,000 lift capacity and 48 inch lift height to go with dual heavy duty lifting cylinders. Use it for all types of vehicles, minivans and smaller SUV's.  

These types of mid rise lifts are great for body shop use due to having everything right in front of you and not having to bend over all the time.

This unit is made with 3 x 3 inch tubular steel for added strength and durability. 3 inch hardened steel rollers make it simple and easy to maneuver the lift around your shop or garage.

These are only two of the Mohawk scissor lift options available today. You can find many others on their website.
