SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

If not picked up at our location, your freight will be delivered in a semi-truck and box trailer.
Please be sure that a truck this large can access your delivery location. If the truck cannot
gain access, you will have to make other arrangements with the freight company. Your lift
could weigh from 1,200 lbs - 1,900 pounds depending on your model. You will need
assistance, or a forklift, tractor or backhoe, to remove from the delivery truck.

We can arrange for you to pick up at the nearest freight terminal with your personal trailer.
Drivers cannot help you unload the truck. You must unload the lift. Drivers are not required
to come on to your property if they think it is dangerous them, their truck or you property.

Customers are responsible for arranging any delivery appointments with the delivery
trucking company. The driver can only deliver to the address on the delivery receipt (the
driver has no authorization to change delivery address). All products must be delivered to a
physical address. Please note that we do not own or operate the delivery trucks, they are all
common carriers. Customer can arrange an appointment for delivery. Please note that the
driver will not call you when he is at the location or just before arriving. His job is to deliver,
not to call each customer.

Automotive lifts are too large for a lift gate. If you have ordered any product that can be
delivered on a pallet then you can arrange for a lift gate but that will be extra expense.

The following locations are considered to be limited access areas and may require special
equipment or special circumstances for delivery. There is an extra charge to deliver to these
and some other special areas. Customer is responsible for these extra charges..

These areas include but are not limited to:

 Residence, any location that has a living residence on site
 Farms
 Schools
 Construction sites
 Trade shows
 State parks
 Government locations with restricted access
 Islands

Please note that due to fluctuating fuel costs, any freight costs quoted will only be valid for 3
business days.

Our freight carriers assume that when a customer provides a business name, the business
is open from 8AM-5PM Monday-Friday, the business is located at a commercial address,
and that the business does not have a home or any other living residences on the property.
We will not be responsible for redelivery charges to businesses that are not open during the
above mentioned hours when the first delivery attempt was made. Any redelivery or
residential delivery cost that are incurred due to misrepresentation or fault of the customer,
must be paid in full to us or the warranty on the respective product is void. Any storage
charges from the respective freight company must be paid in full before equipment will be
released for delivery. Any costs left unpaid will void the warranty. Customers are responsible
for unloading from delivery truck at time of delivery. Lift gate service cannot and will not be
provided for auto lift delivery.

ANCHORING TIPS

1. Concrete needs to be fully cured and a minimum of 4000 PSI compressive strength.
Thickness 4-6 inches in order to achieve minimum anchor embedment of 3.25”. When
using the standard anchor bolts - if the top of the embedded anchor exceeds 2.25”
above floor grade, you DO NOT have enough embedment.

2. Use the holes in base plates as guide for drilling the ¾” holes needed. Do not drill over
an edge or a seam or a crack. Hole to hole spacing should be a minimum 6.5” in any
direction. Concrete thickness or hole depth should be a minimum of 4”.

CAUTION: DO NOT install on asphalt or other similar unstable surface. Concrete

only. Columns are supported only by anchors in the floor.

3. Using the horseshoe shims provided, shim each column base until each column is
plumb. If one column has to be elevated to match the the other column, full size base
shim plates should be used (not provided).

4. Torque anchors to 120 ft-lbs. Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed ½” when using the
supplied anchors with the lift.

5. If anchors cannot be torqued to 120 ft-lbs. then replace concrete under each column

base with a 4’ x 4’ x 6” thick 3,000 PSI minimum concrete pad keyed under, and flush

with, the top of the existing floor. Let concrete fully cure before installing lifts and
anchors.

6. Anchors must be at least 6” from the edge of the slab or any seam.

7. Use a concrete hammer drill with a ¾” carbide bit. Do not use excessively worn bits or
bits which have been incorrectly sharpened.

8. Keep the drill perpendicular while drilling.
