| Q. |
Is installation included in the price of a
lift? |
| A. |
No, but most of our customers find it fairly easy to install their lift themselves. (Installing the lift yourself does not void the warranty). If you would like to have someone install your lift for you Eagle Equipment can recommend qualified installers in your area.
|
| Q. |
Is electrical hard wiring included in an
installation? |
| A. |
No, because electrical codes vary from place to place no electrical work is included in any installation. Please contact a local electrical contractor.
|
| Q. |
How do I know what Two-Post lift is right for my
application? |
| A. |
Eagle Equipment offers three basic types of two post lifts. They are clear floor, asymmetrical and standard models.
- All of our clear floor models have the equalizer cables and hydraulic lines secured overhead, leaving no underneath obstructions. This makes moving equipment such as tool boxes and the like underneath the lift easy.
- Our asymmetrical clear floor models offer all the advantages of a clear floor lift. In addition, the vehicle can be positioned so that the doors can be opened without touching the
post.
- Our standard models are an ideal design for low ceiling installation. Post height is only nine
feet.
- Measure the length, width and height of your garage to
get a better understanding of what dimensions best fit your needs.
|
| Q. |
What type of paint process does Eagle Equipment use for its premium two and four post
lifts? |
| A. |
Eagle Equipment powder coats its two and four post-premium lifts. Eagle Equipment uses an automatic finishing process, applied by state-of-the-art INSA Electro-static powder application equipment, to provide a finish that is beautiful and durable, as well as corrosion and scratch resistant. This environmentally safe process involves a degreasing, anti-corrosive chemical bath, and ionized powder application, and high temperature oven treatment.

|
| Q. |
How close can the baseplate of a two or four post lift be to the end of the cement
pad? |
| A. |
Eagle Equipment recommends a minimum of six inches from the outside edge of the baseplate to the end of the cement pad.
|
| Q. |
How thick should the cement pad be for a two or four post
lift? |
| A. |
Eagle Equipment recommends the pad be a minimum of four inches thick with 3500 PSI reinforced cement for lifts up to 10,000 pound capacity and six inches for lifts over 10,000 pound capacity.
|
| Q. |
Can we install an Eagle lift on our radiant heat floor? |
| A. |
When there is a radiant heat floor, the issue becomes finding where the pipes are; so they are not damaged when drilling holes to anchor the lift. A common way to locate the pipes, is to turn up the heat in the floor. After the heat has been turned up, lightly wet the floor with water. As the water dries, it will dry more quickly in the areas where the pipes lie. As the silhouette of the pipes start to show, outline them with chalk or a marking pencil. This will give you the lay-out of the pipes in the floor, so you can position the columns of the lift and avoid the pipes, so that you will not drill through the radiant heat piping.
|
| Q. |
Can I pre-set my anchor bolts in the concrete when I pour my floor? |
| A. |
No. We are often asked if we have a layout or template for the bolt pattern of the lift, so that anchors can be pre-set in an un-poured concrete floor. This is impractical. The biggest reason being that the burn parts for the lift (the base-plate being one of them) are outsourced to several vendors. Bolt holes and bolt patterns are not always the same. Because of this very slight inconsistency, the bolt pattern you may be given today, might not be the bolt pattern you receive with your lift. The best method for anchoring your lift is to use the lift you receive as its own template. The easiest method is to erect the lift, drill the holes in your concrete, and secure the lift with the approved anchor bolts included with it. We have been using these anchor bolts for years without a failure. The real key is having the proper strength and thickness of concrete.

| Q. |
Why should I spend the extra money and pay for a premium 10K two post lift from Eagle Equipment when I can buy a Maximizer 9K two post lift from Eagle
Equipment? |
| A. |
While the Maximizer series two post lifts from Eagle Equipment are very good lifts there are some definite advantages to spending a little more money and getting a lot in return.
- The premium lifts from Eagle Equipment come with a life time warranty while the Maximizer lifts from Eagle Equipment have a five year limited warranty.
- The premium lifts from Eagle Equipment are powder coated for a more durable and long lasting finish.
- The premium lifts from Eagle Equipment are delivered with many of the components already pre-assembled for easier installation. This will save you time if you install your lift yourself and money if you have someone else install it for you.
- The premium 10K lifts from Eagle Equipment have larger cylinders and chains than the Maximizer lifts.
The premium series lifts have thick
support gussets bracing the column to
the base plate and a ½" thick
steel center-band on the column to
prevent the column from spreading under
the heaviest of loads. The premium 10K lifts have fully welded torsion tube pin supports to prevent
ovaling.
