Shop Lift system designed to ergonomically move heavy materials
Safer handling
CerriToS, CaLif.— a&H engineer- ing and Manufacturing inc. offers the Shop Lift™ as a uniquely engi- neered, ergonomic solution to the problem of heavy materials handling in a confined space. Shop Lift is an economical yet very

Virtually any type of load — in-

of counterbalance, so every load up to 600 pounds is safe and secure. The hydraulics are rated to 1,200 pounds and the heavy-duty steel structure re- mains rigid, while riding quietly on molded polyurethane or cast steel 8" diameter wheels with foot-engaged
floor lock. With a tight turning circle of only 67", the Shop Lift is highly maneuverable and remains impervi-
