Loading Lifts

Dock lifts can be stationary lifts or portable dock lifts. They facilitate loading and unloading of trucks and tractor trailers by providing an even platform that can be raised or lowered. Frequently Asked Questions What’s the capacity and size range of the LoMaster Stationary Dock Lift?
Rated capacities from 5,000 to 20,000 lb (2,273 to 9,091 kg), with deck widths from 60″ to 96″ and deck lengths from 96″ to 144″, mounted in a pit or anchored to a concrete pad. What safety features come standard on dock and scissor lifts?
Precision velocity fuses on the hydraulic cylinders to prevent platform free-fall, handrails with kick plates and barrier chains, a mechanical flip-down maintenance stop, and — on the Stationary and Low Profile models — an 8-inch tapered toe guard and ANSI MH29.1 compliance. What’s the difference between the Stationary and Low Profile LoMaster dock lifts?
Both share the same heavy-duty construction, hard-chromed pivot points, and 18-inch lip with lifting chain, but the Low Profile (S Series) adds indicator sensor bars and high-visibility striping for four-sided toe protection. What’s the difference between the In-Plant Single and Double Scissor Lifts?
Both the FS (single) and DS (double) scissor lifts share the same weather-resistant cylinder housing, velocity fuses, and lifetime-lubricated bronze or Teflon-coated pivot bushings, and can mount in a pit or on a concrete pad. How are the scissor and dock lifts operated?
A remote power pack with a 12-foot hydraulic hose and a push-button control on a 12-foot straight cord, with a hydraulic pump that has built-in overload relief. Are the lifts built for outdoor or high-volume use?
Yes. Each lift cylinder is encased in a weather-resistant, all-steel housing, and the LoMaster Stationary lifts are factory assembled and load tested for high-volume ground-level loading.
