The ARI-Hetra Heavy-Duty Platform Lifts (HDPL) do not use any sliding parts thanks to their unique geometric configuration. Not only does this avoid wear on wheels or slide blocks but also eliminates the need for lubrication. Their maintenance-free joints are also designed to reduce machine downtime and there are no structural elements between lifting platforms, providing maximum accessibility in the working area. The lifts feature a mechanical locking device with automatic engagement and pneumatic release on each piston as well as electronic sensors that synchronize the pistons with auto-leveling and independent load distribution. Additionally, with an electronic control system and LCD screen, height per leg and adjustable maximum height limit is displayed.
