A portable hoist system allows service technicians to raise large vehicles high enough to work under them.
Hoist system handles service trucks and other large vehicles with no problem
The new lift system is wireless, so technicians don’t have to worry about connecting cables or working around them.
A new hoist system makes working on large vehicles easier and safer for Krapohl Ford & Lincoln service technicians.
Four blue lifts, each standing more than 7 feet high, make up the CL Challenger Lifts system. The units are wireless, so there are no cables to connect or work around. The units are on wheels, making the system portable and adjustable to any type of vehicle, from passenger cars to large vehicles, such as Transit vans.
Each lift handles up to 14,000 pounds. Together, they are more than enough to lift a large service truck.
“They like it,” said Krapohl service manager Jeff Slocum of technicians’ reaction to the new equipment that arrived Dec. 3. “It’s a lot more convenient than having to manually jack up all four corners and slide under the vehicle.”
The mobile column truck lift also gives service techs more room below the vehicle to work comfortably, and it allows more light into hard-to-reach areas.
