MADISON, Ind. — Forward Lift, a Vehicle Service Group brand, is expanding its product offerings to include its first battery-operated mobile column lifts.
FCH mobile column lifts provide 18,000 pounds of capacity per column in an affordable and portable package, Forward Lift said. Mobile column lifts are growing more popular for their ability to service most vehicles in North America.
The new family of lifts features an automatic steering system and forklift pockets, making them easy to move throughout a shop or across any concrete surface, the company said. Being battery-operated, there are no cords to clutter the floor of the service bay, and with a full charge in its two marine batteries an FCH-series lift is able to complete 12-14 lifting cycles.
"The FCH family of lifts was designed with small- to medium-sized shops in mind," said Lance Jones, Forward Lift sales and brand manager. "For automotive-focused facilities, the family's economical price allows you to enter the heavy-duty market with little investment. If you already regularly maintain medium- or heavy-duty trucks, FCH mobile column lifts offer many advantages over the four-post lifts you may be using."
FCH mobile columns can be ordered in sets of four (72,000 pounds of capacity), six (108,000 pounds) and eight (144,000 pounds). Each configuration has been third-party tested by ETL and ALI-certified to meet American National Standards Institute safety and performance standards, Forward Lift said.
