The ALM WE-18 Wheel Engaging Mobile Lift is designed with you in mind. From its portability, lifting capacity and rise time ( fastest in the Industry at 60 seconds to full rise of 69”) your needs as a service provider are addressed with this revolutionary Lift.
The WE-18 is suitable for indoor or outdoor operation. Cost and Versatility are the main reasons people are choosing Mobile Lifts in place of Parallelograms, Ingrounds , pits or other types of Lifts.
Yes, you can operate the WE-18 from any column. Each lifting column has an infinitely variable working height. Minimal up/down movement is possible from any column. All raise/lowering operations are 1 hand, 1 button ( push & hold). Raising the column to release the locks before lowering is not required with the WE-18. The lifting mechanism in each column is a hydraulic cylinder with dual locking systems continuously engaged.
Since the WE-18 is manufactured in the USA, you can rest assured of the availability of its domestic controls and components for years to come.
The WE-18 employs a field adjustable height limiter. If you have a low ceiling in one of your bays, simply set the height limiter for that application and reset to normal when moving to another bay.
Employing optional MJS Mobile Jack Stands allows complete service access to wheels, brakes and suspensions, as well as allowing for multiple vehicles to be serviced using 1 set of Lifts.
Small wheel adapters might be optional equipment on other Manufacturers Lifts, but not on ours. Two adapters are shipped with each column at no additional cost. Mounted on the column for your convenience!
The WE-18 is certified by ETL, a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory, to meet the requirements of ANSI/ALI ALCTV-1998, UL 201-1997 and bears the ALI/ETL label of compliance for the US and Canada.
