A New Standard in Low-Profile Design

Say goodbye to strenuous lifting. With a minimum height of just 13 inches (approx. 13.5" with scale), this lift allows you to slide, not lift, bodies from cots or low-level coolers. This dramatically reduces the risk of back injury and makes transfers a one-person job. When raised, the lift reaches a maximum height of over 69 inches, providing easy access to the tallest storage racks and cremation retorts.

Unmatched Versatility with a Universal Top

Tight spaces and awkward angles are no longer a problem. Our patent-pending universal top is outfitted with multi-directional rollers, giving you the freedom to choose between side-loading or end-loading on the fly. This adaptability is a game-changer for facilities with varied rack systems or limited maneuvering room. When the body is in position, integrated roller locks engage to create a stable, secure surface for safe handling.

American-Made Industrial Strength

Trust in a lift that’s built to last. The foundation of our HD lift is a durable, welded steel frame, providing a rigid and stable base that won't flex under pressure. We pair this with industrial-strength hydraulic pump cylinders capable of handling well over 1000 lbs, ensuring you have the power you need for any case. This commitment to quality construction means years of reliable, worry-free service.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I add the scale to the lift after I purchase it?

No. This is the most important consideration. The integrated LCD digital scale must be built into the lift at our factory during the initial manufacturing process and cannot be installed later.

2. How is the lift powered? Does it require a special outlet?

The lift runs on a reliable 12V DC power system, which includes a battery and an onboard charger. It plugs into a standard wall outlet to charge, requiring no special electrical work.

3. How does the "universal" side and end-loading work?

The top deck is equipped with a unique system of multi-directional rollers. This allows a body tray or casket to glide smoothly from the side of the lift or from the end, making it adaptable to any style of storage rack or crematory retort.

4. Are the rollers on top safe? Do they lock?

Yes. The lift includes integrated roller locks. Once the casket or tray is in position, you can engage the locks to prevent any movement, creating a stable and secure platform.

5. What kind of maintenance does the hydraulic system require?

The hydraulic system is designed to be low-maintenance. We recommend periodic checks of the hydraulic fluid levels and inspection of hoses, as outlined in the owner's manual.

6. Is the 1000+ lbs capacity a safe working load?

Absolutely. The lift is engineered with industrial-grade components and a welded steel frame to safely and repeatedly handle loads exceeding 1000 lbs.

7. How easy is it to clean the top surface?

The top surface and rollers are designed with non-porous, durable materials that are easy to wipe down and sanitize, meeting the strict hygiene standards of mortuary facilities.

8. Is the lift difficult to move around?

While it is a heavy-duty piece of equipment, it is mounted on high-quality casters that allow it to be moved and positioned within your facility by a single operator.

9. Why is a welded steel frame better than a bolted one?

A welded frame creates a single, rigid unit that offers superior strength and durability. It won't loosen, flex, or rattle over time, which is critical when handling heavy and sensitive loads.

10. Can this lift be built in a custom size or color?

We may be able to accommodate requests for custom sizes or colors. Please contact our sales team directly to discuss your specific requirements.
