Liftmaster debuts at LAMMA ‘ 17
Liftmaster Ltd made it ’ s debut at LAMMA 2017 , a new venture for the company .
A lready well established and a market leader in the garage equipment market Liftmaster decided to look at the requirements for the agricultural workshop . Liftmaster already have vehicle lifting equipment for agricultural vehicles in their product range but have recently introduced new products that they wanted to promote . LAMMA 2017 was the ideal venue for Liftmaster to enter the arena for agricultural service equipment .
The Liftmaster stand in Hall 4 exhibited a range of specialist jacking equipment , but the star of the show was a new Wheel Trolley . A new design for the Wheel Trolley showed new innovations for positioning the wheel . Designated the WT1500 this substantially constructed trolley can handle with ease , a 1500kg wheel up to 2400mm in diameter . A waist high hydraulic pump handle moves the base rollers in and out to accept the different size wheels to raise and lower them . After the wheel has been removed it is secured to the WT1500 with an automatic ratchet strap . This feature allows good access to the wheel nuts , an improvement on models that use a post and bracket to go over the wheels . When the wheel is offered back to the vehicle it can easily be pumped up the correct height . A new feature of the WT1500 is the ability to rotate the wheel to align the studs . This is done by a wheel on the control post which allows the operator to align the studs perfectly to re-fit the wheel .
The WT1500 is now truly a one man operation and a must for any workshop , with health and safety in mind , moving large heavy wheels . The WT1500 along with the lifting jacks has a 3 year warranty on the hydraulics and a 10 year warranty on the frame and mechanics .
Liftmaster Ltd have a huge range of lifting equipment including in-ground hydraulic lifts and mobile column lifts for agricultural vehicles .
