Maywood Adds to its Force Range

Following the successful launch of the Force 36 3.6 tonne electro-hydraulic 2-post lift, Maywood has announced it will be adding the Force 60 to its range. The Force 60 is an electro-hydraulic two-post lift with base frame. It compliments Maywood’s range of lifts for large and heavy cars as well as the light truck market. Within this range Maywood offers the Hofmann 5 tonne two-post lift, which has vehicle manufacturer approval from Ford, Volkswagen, Renault and many others. Maywood believes the Force 60 can now give a workshop even greater capacity at the same price, and offers convenience through removing the necessity for a vehicle owner to empty the vehicle before the lift is raised. Therefore this lift is ideal for “Transit” like vehicles, but is also capable of lifting the majority of vehicles available in the UK.

The Force 60 it fitted with high resistance steel columns and hydraulic lifting cylinders with a double crossover hydraulic circuit. It has asymmetrical telescopic arms and automatic arm locking. The columns are powder coated for greater protection and two hydraulic lifting systems are fitted to each column. For additional safety the lift uses a low voltage and has safety dead-man controls and a protection cover plate. High lift pads for lifting light commercial vehicles are available.

Trevor Homewood, managing director of Maywood, says “this is a truly well engineered high capacity lift with quality written all over it. We believe there will be a strong demand and we are featuring it with one of our key distributors (Unipart) in January. We have already achieved success with the Force 36, which is also manufactured by Omer, whose products are always first class.”
