Load Capacity

Load capacity is very important when you pick a lift. You need to know the most weight the lift can hold. If you pick a lift that cannot hold enough, it can cause accidents or break. If you pick one that is too strong, you might spend too much money.

SuperHandy offers a lift with a loading capacity of up to 150 kg (330 lb), which strikes the perfect balance between strength and efficiency. This capacity is ideal for handling a wide range of tasks, ensuring reliability without overpaying for excess strength. Whether you're lifting heavy equipment, furniture, or other bulky items, SuperHandy lifts provide the perfect solution, offering safe, cost-effective, and dependable performance for everyday use.

 

Never put more weight on the lift than it can take. Too much weight can break the lift and cause accidents. The lift is only safe if you stay under the limit. Some lifts have electronic parts that stop you from going over the weight. If you do not follow the rules, you can break the lift, hurt people, and pay a lot to fix it. Always check the working load limit (WLL) before you start.

Note: Using the right lift with the right load capacity keeps people safe and helps your lift last longer.

Lift Height

Lift height tells you how high the lift can go. You need to know how high you must lift things before you choose a lift. Some lifts only go up to about 90 inches, which is good for floor work. Others, like high-rise material lifts, can go over 60 feet. The lift height you need depends on your job and your space.
