The HDSO-14 is an open-front four-post lift that features clear-entry up front providing easy vehicle access. A generous 14,000-lb. lifting capacity and extended runways allow you to service a wide variety of vehicles ranging from small cars to full-size trucks.
Open-front design
We engineered the HDSO-14 without a front cross bar so the operators
can easily enter and exit from beneath the vehicle. Now the process of
front-end adjustment becomes quick and trouble-free. This is a must for
busy alignment bays.
Patented adjustable front outrigger tubes
For precise front-lift leveling, nothing beats our patented adjustable
front outrigger tubes. The infinitely adjustable pitch compensates for
excessive loads and even unlevel floors.
Dependable design
Four heavy-duty, high-quality, stainless steel lifting cables and a
single hydraulic cylinder mounted underneath the runway makes this lift
the most durable, maintenance-free lifting system on the market.
Oversize dual-hub cable sheaves
Huge 10‐1/2” diameter cable sheaves within the runway and cross tubes
combined with massive 2‐1/4” diameter sheave axles dramatically improve
cable wear and critical component lifespan meaning you’ll spend less
money in service related expenses down the road. Dual‐hub cable sheaves
reduce stress, fatigue and wear.
Multi-level locking positions
The HDSO-14 is equipped with multiple adjustable height locking
positions for variable-height parking. A convenient push-button
pneumatic safety lock control releases all four independent safety locks
simultaneously.
Heavy-duty aircraft cable
Each lift is supplied with 4 high-quality ½” diameter 6 x 25 stainless
steel lifting cables, rated at 14,400 lbs. each. The combined rating of
these cables is more than 411% of the maximum lifting capacity of the
entire lift! This aircraft‐quality cable was specifically designed for
lifting applications and provides a great balance between abrasion
resistance and fatigue. And we make sure it looks tidy too—all lifting
cables are fully enclosed within the lift structure itself.
Maintenance-free electric hydraulic
A maintenance‐free electric hydraulic power system assures ultimate dependability.
Grease nipples
Grease nipples are located on every sheave and sheave axle to make lubrication maintenance a breeze.
Electric / hydraulic power system
We incorporate maintenance-free electric hydraulic power systems into
each lift for ultimate dependability, and all controls are conveniently
located within close reach.
Large base plates
12” x 10” base plates provide a solid foundation for the HDSO-14.
Single hydraulic cylinder
The HDSO-14 open-front lift is equipped with a single
hydraulic cylinder hidden away under the runway for minimum exposure
and maximum reliable performance. Our industrial-grade hydraulic
cylinders feature a single-piece, pilot fitted, machined steel piston,
wrapped with specially designed, pressure loaded U-cup piston seals,
backups and wear bands to virtually eliminate fluid bypass. The
micro-smooth chrome-rod is machined from high-yield, ground and polished
C-1045/50 micro-alloy steel and plated to a minimum of .001”
diametrically, to ensure superior cylinder operation and life. The
superior-design high durometer, mechanically-loaded rod seals make rod
leakage is a thing of the past while a specially formulated
abrasion-resistant urethane rod wiper provides exclusion protection. The
welded cylinder body is made from robust steel tubing produced to
exceed ASTM specifications. This combination of superb base material and
superior processing ensures that the cylinders remain straight, smooth
and last a very long time. An integrated flow restrictor provides a
controlled descent in the case of an unexpected hose rupture.
Durable powder-coat finish
All HD-Series lifts feature a durable powder-coat finish that gives the
metal a high-quality, extremely durable finish which can withstand even
the harshest environmental or chemical conditions. Unlike other
companies that claim to powder coat, we take pride in our meticulous
10-step process. First, all parts are visually inspected before being
sandblasted. Afterwards, the parts are washed in our 5-stage phosphate
tanks that can accommodate parts up to 25’ long. Once cleaned, they’re
immediately dried to avoid rust production, and then outgassed.
Outgassing pre-bakes the parts in a curing oven, reducing the
possibility of blemishes that may be hiding in the pores of the metal.
If not properly outgassed, imperfections in the metal may bubble during
the curing process and most likely will cause chips in the powder. After
the parts are washed and outgassed, any surfaces and / or threaded
holes that need to be masked or plugged, are done so with
high-temperature masking tape and silicone plugs. Next, the parts are
given a quick thinner wipe to remove any light debris or fingerprints,
before being hung on an electrostatically grounded conveyor line. The
powder is finally applied using an electrostatic spray gun. The powder
“sticks” to the surface in a fashion similar to how dust sticks to a
television screen. Once the parts are powder coated, the carts are
rolled into our curing oven and baked at 400° F for 45 minutes.
Non-skid runways
Gives you maximum grip, even when the runway surface is wet or oily.
Longer approach ramps
These approach ramps were designed a little longer to help when loading
low ground clearance vehicles. It’s the little bit that makes a big
difference.
Integrated design
Lifting cables, airlines, safety latches and sheaves are all fully enclosed.
Integrated hydraulic flow
An integrated hydraulic flow restrictor provides a controlled descent in the unlikely event of an unexpected hose rupture.
Automatic safety locks
Aircraft-quality stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders
release all 4 locks simultaneously with the simple push of a button. The
spring-loaded safety locks automatically engage continuously as the
lift is raised. For added safety, a secondary lock system acts as a
slack-cable device to engage in the unlikely event of cable failure.
Optional 7000 pound capacity rolling jacks
