Key Features

• 14,000 lbs. Capacity: Engineered for professional lifting applications and capable of safely supporting 14,000-lb. vehicles.

• Extended Runways: Designed to safely accommodate vehicles with long wheelbases, preventing wear and tear during drive-on and off.

• Dual-Hub Cable Sheaves: Features massive 10.5-inch (26.7 cm) diameter cable sheaves and 2.25-inch (5.7 cm) diameter sheave axles to reduce stress, fatigue, and wear, significantly improving cable and critical component lifespan, leading to reduced service expenses.

• Heavy-Duty Aircraft Cable: Equipped with four 1/2-inch (1.27 cm) diameter, 6 x 25 stainless-steel lifting cables, each with a breaking strength exceeding 14,000 lbs. (6,350 kg). This aircraft-quality cable provides excellent abrasion resistance and fatigue prevention.

• Flow Restrictor: An integrated hydraulic flow restrictor ensures a controlled and safe descent, even in the unlikely event of a hose rupture.

• Large Base Plates: 10-inch x 12-inch (25.4 x 30.5 cm) base plates provide a robust and solid foundation for stability.

• Spring-Loaded Safety Locks: Automatically engage continuously during the lift’s ascent. Adjustable safety ladders allow for precise runway leveling, which is crucial for safety on sloped garage or service bay floors.

• Push-Button Pneumatic Lock Release: A simple push-button mechanism, utilizing aircraft-quality stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders, provides fast and trouble-free lowering operations.

• Secondary Lock System: Functions as a constant guard and slack-cable device, engaging to protect the lift platforms in the rare event of an unexpected cable failure.

• Integrated Design: All lifting cables, airlines, safety latches, and sheaves are fully enclosed within the lift’s structure for protection from environmental factors, while remaining accessible for visual inspection.

• Adjustable Height Locking Positions: Each column features multiple height locking positions, allowing for variable-height parking and infinite leveling.

• Electric-Hydraulic Power System: A maintenance-free system ensures ultimate dependability, with all operator controls conveniently located for ease of use.

• Longer Approach Ramps: Designed with increased length to facilitate smoother loading of low ground-clearance vehicles.

• Flexible Protective Conduit: Hydraulic hoses and airlines are routed through flexible, non-metallic tubing, protecting against wear, damage, and electrical shocks.

• Optional Rolling Bridge Jacks (RJ7W): Available 7,000-lb. (3,175 kg) capacity rolling jacks (model RJ7W) allow for raising the front or rear of a vehicle off the runways for efficient wheel and brake service. These jacks feature telescoping arms with frame contact pads, three safety-lock positions, stackable truck/van adapters, and a commercial-grade air-hydraulic pump (requiring max 125 PSI and 10-20 CFM).

• ALI Certified: Ensures compliance with rigorous safety and performance standards.

Options

• Extended Length (HDS-14X): A longer version providing increased front-to-back clearance, ideal for limos, SUVs, and trucks.

• Open-Front Design (HDSO14P): Features an open front (no crossbar) for easy entry and exit beneath the vehicle, making front-end adjustments quicker and trouble-free; a must-have for busy service bays.
