XPR SERIES – SUPER-DUTY MODELS
These Super-Duty models are the brutes among our two-post lineup — heavy-duty lifts designed for serious lifting. These Super-Duty lifts with capacities up to 18,000-pounds were redesigned for 2008 and feature heavier column and carriage construction with stronger frame components.
Just because these Super Duty models were designed for the big stuff doesn't mean they can't handle your light–duty work as well. Full-reach arms that collapse to standard lengths and lower lift pads clutch standard passenger vehicles yet still accommodate commercial and fleet vehicles. We purposely placed the columns wider for vehicles with fixed towing mirrors and designed the overhead equalization beam up out of the way to accommodate “high cube” delivery vans. These advanced, state-of-the-art super-duty models also feature dual direct-drive low-pressure cylinders, maintenance-free UHMW load bearings, single-piece columns, extra-tall lifting carriages and oversize cable sheaves.
WITH EVERY XPR SERIES LIFT YOU GET…
- Clear-floor Convenience - Our clear-floor models provide unobstructed floor space allowing technicians to easily move toolboxes, transmission jacks, oil drains and other equipment underneath the elevated vehicle.
- 30-Degree Rotated Columns – Our asymmetric models, (XPR-10AC, XPR-10ACX) feature rotated columns for added clearance when opening vehicle doors. Swing-away arms provide greater drive-thru clearance.
- Two-Lifts-In-One - Our asymmetric models, (XPR-10AC, XPR-10ACX) also feature our exclusive Tru-Metric arm design that provides variable arm-position configurations, either symmetric or asymmetric. This exclusive Tru-Metric design feature provides greater versatility for greater service capability. It's like having two lifts in one!
- Triple-Telescoping Arms Front – Two-Stage Rear - (Models: XPR-10C, XPR-10CS, XPR-10AC, XPR-10ACX) increases overall arm positioning for lifting a variety of different wheel base vehicles. Increases overall arm sweep and minimum arm reach to precisely lift vehicles that have Uni-body construction, OEM recommended pick-up points, or wide and/or narrow wheelbase configurations.
- Triple-Telescoping Arm Set – (Models: XPR-12FD, XPR-12C) Three-stage front and three-stage rear arms provides maximum reach as well as minimum retraction enabling you to use this super-duty lift system for raising standard passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks.
- Low-Profile, Dropped-End Frame Contact Pads – squeezes under the lowest compact and sport vehicles.
- Free Truck and Van Adapters – Others charge extra for these necessary adapters but they're standard with every XPR-Series lift. Ideal for trucks and vans with running boards or auxiliary fuel tanks.
- Lowered Arm Tube Supports – To minimize the chance of damaging vehicles with low hanging vehicle doors, we completely redesigned our arm tube supports to allow for better clearance.
- Automatic Arm Restraints – Each arm is equipped with durable arm restraints that automatically engage each time the lift is raised. When the lift is lowered, the gear type arm restraints automatically disengage to provide easy positioning of the lift arms.
- Taller Lift Carriages – Take a close look at our lift carriages (the lifting assembly that the arms are attached to) then take a look at the competition. You'll notice our 53” tall carriages are considerably taller than most which minimizes the stress placed on the load bearings and columns.
- Maintenance-Free Load Bearings - Rather than using roller bearings that need to be constantly lubricated, every XPR-Series lift carriage uses futuristic UHMW ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene load bearings that never need lubrication and last virtually the life of the lift.
- Single-Piece Columns - We purposely manufacture the columns using single-piece construction for added strength and less fatigue under heavy load conditions.
- A column extension option (clear-floor models) gives you the flexibility of increasing the overhead clearance to maximize the vehicles you can service.
- Wide or Narrow Selection – Wide or narrow designs are available allowing you to maximize use of your floor space.
- Dual Direct-Drive Technology - By utilizing two low-pressure HVLP Direct-Drive cylinders, we've eliminated the need for lifting chains or screw mechanisms most commonly found on other lift designs. HVLP Direct-Drive technology offers better reliability, smoother operation and less maintenance. High volume, low-pressure means less workload is placed on the entire hydraulic system.
- Single-Point Safety Release - The single point safety release and dead-man style operation controls makes every one of our XPR-Series lifts easy to operate and safe to use.
- On-The-Level - Our Dual-Synchro equalization system maintains equal lifting and provides operators with a stable, level-vehicle working condition.
- Auto Shut-Off – A rigid, padded safety shut-off bar automatically stops the lift should a vehicle come in contact with overhead structure.
- Industrial-Grade Hydraulic Cylinders – Integrated into every XPR-Series hydraulic cylinder is a one-piece, pilot fitted, machined steel piston wrapped with specially designed, pressure loaded U-cup piston seals, backups and wear bands that virtually eliminates any fluid bypass. The micro-smooth chrome-rod is machined from high yield, ground & polished C-1045/50 micro-alloy steel and plated to a minimum of .001˝ diametrically, to ensure superior cylinder operation and life. Specially designed, high durometer, mechanically loaded rod seals virtually eliminate rod seal leakage and a specially formulated abrasion resistant urethane rod wiper provides exclusion protection. The welded cylinder body is made from high yield-strength steel tubing produced to exceed ASTM specifications. This combination of superb base material and superior processing ensures straight, smooth and long duty life cylinders.
- High-Speed Hydraulics - Free-flow, high-pressure 3/8” hydraulic lines and a high-flow pump and integrated AC power-unit increase ascent and descent speed rates for increased productivity.
- Durable Powder Coat Finish – All XPR-Series lifts feature a durable powder coat finish that gives the metal a high-quality, extremely durable finish which can withstand even the harshest environmental or chemical conditions. Unlike other companies that claim to powder coat, we take pride in our meticulous 10-step process. First, all parts are visually inspected then sandblasted. After, the parts are washed in our five-stage phosphate tanks that can accommodate parts up to 25' long. Once cleaned, they're immediately dried, to avoid rust production then outgassed. Outgassing is a process we take pride in which pre-bakes the parts in a curing oven, reducing the possibility of blemishes that may be hiding in the pores of the metal. If not properly outgassed, imperfections in the metal may bubble during the curing process and most likely cause chips in the powder. After the parts are washed and outgassed, any surfaces and/or threaded holes that need to be masked or plugged are done so with high-temperature masking tape and silicone plugs. Next, the parts are given a quick thinner wipe to remove any light debris or fingerprints then hung on an electrostatically grounded conveyor line. The powder is then applied using an electrostatic spray gun. The powder “sticks” to the parts similar to how dust sticks to a television screen. Once the parts are powder coated, the carts are rolled into our curing oven and baked at 400 degrees for 15 for 45 minutes.
- Detailed Safety Instruction – Included with every lift are detailed installation and maintenance instructions, graphic safety and maintenance decals, and a vehicle lifting point guide and safety instruction placard that helps train personnel on proper safety and maintenance guidelines.
