1) HOW HIGH DOES KWIKLIFT RAISE THE CAR?
ANSWER: KWIKLIFT RAISES THE BOTTOM OF THE TIRES TO 20 INCHES ABOVE THE FLOOR, PUTTING THE AVERAGE CHASSIS AT ABOUT 30 PLUS INCHES ABOVE THE FLOOR.
2) HOW LONG IS KWIKLIFT?
ANSWER: KWIKLIFT IS ADJUSTABLE. THERE ARE 3 LENGTH SETTINGS: 13' 3"/ 14' 0"/ 14' 9". THE LONGEST INDIVIDUAL PIECE IS 8 FT. 4 INCHES LONG. THE WIDTH IS ALSO ADJUSTABLE.
3) HOW MUCH WEIGHT WILL THE LIFT HOLD?
ANSWER: THE STANDARD KWIKLIFT IS RATED TO HANDLE CARS & TRUCKS AND THE HEAVY-DUTY UNIT IS RATED TO HANDLE TRUCKS 3/4 TON AND UP.
WHAT SIZE DO YOU REALLY NEED?
Pick a KwikLift based on the empty weight of your vehicle, not GVWR . GVWR means Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. It is the total the vehicle would weigh if fully loaded with cargo and a few of your favorite 200 lb. friends. Generally, the GVWR can be 1200 lbs. more than the empty vehicle weight. If in doubt, CALL US!
4) WHAT IS KWIKLIFT CONSTRUCTED OF?
ANSWER: KWIKLIFT IS CONSTRUCTED OF HIGH STRENGTH LOW ALLOY 80000 LB. PSI 13 GAUGE SHEET METAL. THICKNESS RANGES FROM .O80 - .O89, DEPENDING ON MATERIAL AVAILABILITY AT TIME OF CONSTRUCTION
5) HOW MUCH DOES IT WEIGH?
ANSWER: THE STANDARD CAR/TRUCK UNIT WEIGHS ABOUT 540 LBS WITH THE HEAVIEST SINGLE PIECE WEIGHING 110 LBS. THE HEAVY-DUTY UNIT WEIGHS ABOUT 650 LBS WITH THE HEAVIEST SINGLE PIECE WEIGHING 135 LBS.
6) HOW IS KWIKLIFT SHIPPED?
ANSWER: WE USE TWO PRIMARY FREIGHT COMPANIES. THEY ARE USF DUGAN & YELLOW FREIGHT. UNITS ARE GENERALLY PICKED UP AT THE FREIGHT TERMINAL. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE A BUSINESS LOCATION, WE CAN SHIP THE UNIT TO THAT ADDRESS. WE SUGGEST THAT YOU TAKE A PICKUP TRUCK OR FLATBED TRAILER TO THE TERMINAL (KWIKLIFT WILL FIT IN THE BACK OF A PICKUP TRUCK WHEN PACKAGED.) THE FREIGHT COMPANY WILL LOAD THE UNIT INTO YOUR TRUCK OR ON TO YOUR TRAILER. UPON ARRIVAL AT YOUR HOME OR SHOP, ALL YOU NEED IS A PAIR OF SNIPS TO CUT THE STEEL BANDING THAT HOLDS THE LIFT TO THE SHIPPING PALLETS. TWO PEOPLE CAN EASILY HANDLE THE INDIVIDUAL PIECES ONE AT A TIME. Click here to see picture of KwikLift packaged and ready to go.
7) HOW DOES THE LIFT TUBE ( THE PIPE ) WORK?
ANSWER: THE LIFT TUBE PIVOTS DOWN ( THE HUMP WILL BE LAYING DOWN ) AND OUT OF THE WAY ALLOWING VERY LOW CARS TO EASILY DRIVE ON AND OFF. WHEN YOU ARE READY TO JACK UP THE UNIT, PIVOT THE LIFT TUBE UP ( THE HUMP WILL BE UP ) AND POSITION THE JACK UNDER THE HUMP. (POSITION YOUR JACK SADDLE SO THAT 2 TEETH ARE IN FRONT OF THE TUBE, AND 2 TEETH ARE BEHIND THE TUBE, IN ORDER TO SAFELY HOLD THE TUBE.)
8) WILL IT GO ANY HIGHER?
ANSWER: NO. IF THE UNIT WERE ANY HIGHER, REACHING THE CHASSIS WOULD BE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR MOST PEOPLE WHILE USING A CREEPER. THE CHASSIS, AT ABOUT 30 INCHES ABOVE THE FLOOR, SEEMS TO BE BEST HEIGHT WITHOUT REACHING AND STRAINING. ALSO, IF THE LIFT WERE HIGHER, FOR THE AVERAGE HOME OWNER, THE GARAGE DOOR, WHEN OPEN, COULD POSE A CLEARANCE PROBLEM.
9) WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH KWIKLIFT WHEN I'M NOT USING IT?
ANSWER: NOTHING. LEAVE IT ASSEMBLED !! OUR CUSTOMERS TELL US THAT THEY SIMPLY LEAVE THE UNIT ASSEMBLED AND USE IT AS A PARKING PLACE. MANY SAY THAT THEY DRIVE ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK. WHEN IT IS TIME TO WORK ON THE CAR, JUST JACK UP THE UNIT, RELEASE THE PIN WHICH RELEASES THE REAR LEGS, LOCK THE LEGS IN PLACE, LOWER THE UNIT ONTO THE LEGS, AND GO TO WORK! IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT 60 SECONDS.
10) HOW DO I LIFT THE UNIT?
ANSWER: A FLOOR JACK SHOULD REACH A HEIGHT OF ABOUT 19 INCHES IN ORDER TO WORK WITH KWIKLIFT. YOUR JACK NEEDS TO DROP TO A LEVEL OF 5 INCHES IN THE DOWN POSITION TO FIT UNDER THE TUBE. MOST JACKS WILL WORK WITH KWIKLIFT. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A FEW THAT WILL NOT. ALSO, YOU MUST USE A JACK THAT HAS A JACK BELL WITH A DIAMETER LARGE ENOUGH TO SAFELY SUPPORT THE LIFT TUBE DURING THE JACKING PROCESS. DO NOT USE A JACK WHICH HAS A BELL DIAMETER OF LESS THAN 4 INCHES.
11) IS KWIKLIFT DIFFICULT TO ASSEMBLE?
ANSWER: NO! KWIKLIFT CAN BE ASSEMBLED BY TWO PEOPLE IN 10-15 MINUTES. ( IT MAY TAKE SLIGHTLY LONGER THE FIRST TIME) THE UNIT CAN BE DISASSEMBLED IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES. ALL YOU NEED IS A COUPLE OF WRENCHES OR SOCKETS AND SOME SPRAY-ON LITHIUM GREASE, WHICH SHOULD BE APPLIED ON THE LIFT TUBE PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY. ONE PERSON CAN HANDLE THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS, BUT WE SUGGEST USING TWO.
12) IS THERE A WAY TO REMOVE MY WHEELS AND TIRES AFTER THE CAR IS ON THE LIFT?
ANSWER: YES ! OUR NEW OPTIONAL "CENTERLIFT" IS A BRIDGE ACROSS THE RAMPS THAT ALLOWS YOU TO PLACE A BOTTLE JACK OR OTHER TYPE JACK, AND ONE OR TWO SMALL STANDS TO SUPPORT THE AXLE, A - ARMS, OR FRAME RAILS. THE CENTERLIFT MAY BE USED AT THE FRONT OR REAR OF KWIKLIFT (DO NOT POSITION THE CENTERLIFT REARWARD OF THE REAR LEGS OR IN THE MIDDLE AREA OF THE RAMPS ) CENTERLIFT IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED AS A TRANSMISSION JACK.
13) CAN I LAY KWIKLIFT DOWN FLAT ON THE FLOOR?
ANSWER: YES. ASK US ABOUT THIS AND WE WILL FAX YOU THE DIRECTIONS FOR A SIMPLE WAY TO LAY THE LIFT FLAT ON THE FLOOR AND PARK YOUR CAR ON IT.
