OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Note: Refer to Option Equipment Section in the back of this manual for specific user instructions for option
available for this lift.
The standard mobile lift is suitable to lift wheeled vehicles by the tires. It normally comes in pairs of columns
totaling 2, 4, 6 or 8 column systems. Ordering additional dummy plugs may enable one lift to be used in a
variety of combinations simultaneously.
A hand control pendant is available and can be connected to any column.
If it is desired to raise the vehicle by the frame, this can be done by using optional chassis lifting beams or
optional frame contact adapters. The chassis lift beam fits into the cradle where the tire would normally fit
and spans between a pair of columns. Frame contact adapters convert a pair of mobile lift columns into a 2-
column frame engaging lift. Refer to the ANSI standard “Vehicle Lift Points for Service Garage Lifting,”
ANSI/SAE J2184-Oct92, safety manual “Lifting if Right,” ALI/SM01, and “Vehicle Lifting Points Guide”
ALI/LP-Guide for proper positioning of vehicles on lift.
If it is desired to raise fork trucks, a fork truck adapter kit is available, which converts a pair of mobile lift
columns into a 2-column pad engaging lift.
For lifting applications involving side wing plows or RV’s with side extensions, where the forks of the mobile
lifts can not reach to the tires, wing plow adapters are available. These adapters span between a pair of
columns to achieve engagement of the tires in the same manner of the column forks.
For lifting of vehicles with dual tires, floatation tires, or “super singles”, longer forks are available. Note that
the longer fork lifts have reduced capacity.
Jack Stands are also available that support the vehicle in the raised position for maintenance or to permit
using the lift for other vehicles.
NOTE:
The use of any adapters on this lift may reduce the capacity of this lift. Refer to the capacities of the adapters
used.

Use only options manufactured by MOHAWK RESOURCES LTD with this lift. Options
manufactured by others and used on this lift may result in bodily harm, damage to lift and
