Trailer Doubles As A Service Lift
This Lift-A-Way trailer has a built-in hoist, allowing it to double as a service lift that can lift vehicles from 4 to 6 ft. high. It can handle vehicles weighing up to 8,000 lbs.
The trailer measures 25 ft. long and has a frame made from 6-in. channel iron, with the space between the frame rails left open leaving room to make repairs to the underside of the raised vehicle. The vehicle is raised by four adjustable lift legs - two on front and two on back. A pair of 3-in. dia. dual action hydraulic cylinders, equipped with safety interlock valves, do the lifting and are operated by a built-in, self-contained 110-volt hydraulic power pack.
Dual side hydraulic levers - one on each side - are used to raise the trailer. Side walkway rails provide access to either side of the engine.
The trailer is loaded via a flip-up pair of loading ramps on back. To raise the vehicloe, you pull a pin from each of the four legs, then hydraulically raise the unit and reinsert the pins.
Sells for $9,300.
