The carriage on the 2-post hydraulic straddle freight lift is straddled between two beams allowing carriage sizes to be bigger for your material loading and transfer.  More travel is achieved by a 4:1 cable reeving system that minimizes stress in the lifting cables which maximizes the amount of travel produced per inch of cylinder stroke. Our standard models are designed to travel up to 360 inches with capacity from 3,000 to 6,000 pounds. If you don’t see the model size you need, please contact us to talk about your application specifications – we can build it.
