Lift Type

	Lift Mechanism
	Your choices are...
	Scissor Lift		Scissor lifts use linked, folding, support members. Lifting action occurs when members are drawn together, typically with a screw mechanism.
	Screw Lift		Screw lifts employ the mechanical advantage of threads to lift the workpiece vertically.
	Rack & Pinion		With rack and pinion lift mechanisms, a small drive-gear (pinion) drives a straight-toothed rack to lift the load.
	Telescoping Lift		Telescoping lifts have a lift mechanism with multiple sections that retract and extend into and out of each other.
	Articulated Lift		Articulated lifts are multiple-section mechanisms that unfold or articulate to lift a platform or bucket. Cherry pickers are often articulated lifts.
	Lift Chain		Lift chains use a lift chain and sprocket.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary lifting mechanisms.
	Search Logic:		Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Lift Drive / Actuation
	Your choices are...
	Hand		Lifts are driven by a hand crank or screw drive.
	Foot		Lifts are driven by foot pumping or ratcheting.
	Air / Pneumatic		Air cylinders or motors provide lifting action.
	Hydraulic		Lifts are driven by an external hydraulic cylinder or hydraulic motor.
	Electric Motor		Lifts have an electric motor for automated driving. The lift usually employs a screw or screw/scissor combination.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary actuation methods.
	Search Logic:		Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Features

	Your choices are...
	Tilting		The lift table or platform tilts or inclines.
	Rotating		A rotating element such as a turntable is used with the table or platform.
	Hand / Safety Rails		Hand or safety rails are used for personnel safety, or to prevent the load from falling or sliding off the lift.
	Truck Mounted		Lifts are mounted or mountable onto the back or bed of a utility truck. This category includes total truck-included packages as well as lifts that are sold independently for mounting on trucks.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Wheel / Tire Type
	Your choices are...
	Pneumatic		Air-inflated tires can provide greater load-cushioning and drive traction than cushion tires.
	Solid / Cushion		Solid or cushion tires are functional alternatives to other types of tires. They do not puncture and require less maintenance than pneumatic tires. Construction provides some cushioning features; however, solid or cushion tires offer less shock absorption than pneumatic tires.
	Other		Other tire configurations not covered explicitly by pneumatic or solid / cushion choices.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
