Where it fits in the lift line
The HD 1000 MAX is the powered multi-directional lift. For manual hydraulic at the same capacity, see the 1,000-lb Hydraulic Scissor Lift. Full catalog: racks and lifts.
Why the multi-directional top matters
Standard lifts move on a single axis (up/down). The HD 1000 MAX’s multi-directional top adds X, Y, and rotational positioning — the operator can align the case to the cooler bay, embalming table, or examination table without repositioning the entire lift footprint. Critical for tight prep rooms, parallel workflow stations, and bariatric handling where single-axis lifts force inefficient operator positioning.
Integrated scale option
The Add Scale variant integrates a digital scale into the lift platform — case weight reads at the lift without separate transfer to a floor scale or platform scale. Relevant for cremation pre-load documentation, ME chain-of-custody, and any facility documenting case weight as part of standard workflow. Adds $625 to the base lift price.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the working capacity?
1,000 lb bariatric-capable.
What does multi-directional top mean?
The platform moves on X, Y, and rotational axes — the operator aligns case to receiving surface without repositioning the lift base.
Is the scale option worth $625?
Yes if you document case weight as part of standard workflow (cremation pre-load, ME chain-of-custody, research intake). It eliminates a separate weighing step.
Powered vs. hydraulic scissor lift — which is right?
Powered (HD 1000 MAX) for high-volume workflow where lift cycles matter. Hydraulic (scissor lift) for cost-savings and simpler maintenance.
How does it compare to MOBI Lab and Mopec lifts?
Factory-direct, faster lead times, 15-year structural warranty. mobilab.us equivalents run higher per-unit.
Can it be financed?
Yes. 0% Shop Pay Installments. Qualifies for extended financing.
Where is it manufactured?
