We offer a wide range of standard and custom high travel material handling equipment to fit your needs. To see some examples scroll down or click on the handy links below.
Package Lift › This lift is perfect for package, tote and bulky load movement from one floor to another. It operates at a 300 lb. capacity and runs at a very low cost. Compact and economical, it is a great way to move small, light loads between floors. It can be installed in modular pieces or ordered pre-assembled, and is an excellent alternative to a dumbwaiter.
Freightlite Freight Lift › This lift is made to smoothly and economically move loads weighing up to 6,000 lbs. from one story to another. Typically this means movement to and from a mezzanine. The Freightlite is one of the best values in the industry. Since there is no installation, set-up is quicker than competitive models.
High Capacity Freight Lift › The 4-Post freight lift design provides extra support for off-center and heavy loads. This makes the 4-Post model good for heavy loads but also a wide variety of loads. It is used for multi-level high capacity applications. It can also be used as a component in automated systems.
Platform Ram Lift ›Ram lifts are utilized when a scissors lift is not an option. Ram lifts are designed to handle the most awkward and heaviest loads and can reach heights where scissors lifts become unstable. Completely customizable, these lifts have very few moving parts and they offer the greatest flexibility as to platform size, travel and capacity. These lifts require a pit and usually become permanent installations. They are ideal for concentrated, rolling loads of all kinds.
Double Pantograph Lift › Double pantograph lifts include 8 popular sized models which can be used in a wide variety of lifting applications. They operate at 3,000 and 6,000 lb. capacities with 60" to 96" travel distance. Double Pantograph lifts provide their operators with a high traveling and adjustable work platform. These units also utilize a minimum amount of floor space. This style of lift also allows a standard platform size with larger travel.
Series 35 Double High › These lifts include 28 popular sized models which can be used in a variety of lifting applications. They operate 1,500 to 5,400 lb. capacities with 24" to 96" travel. Series 35 is the most versatile and popular family of lifts from . Work positioners such as these reduce worker fatigue and greatly reduce the risk of serious back injury. They bring the work to the worker to increase productivity.


Hydraulic Freight Lift Spec Summary:
This line of Freight lifts offers an economical and safe way to move materials between two levels, requiring less than 28 feet of vertical travel. Units of this type are suitable for intermittent duty operation.  Freight lifts provide a safe and economic alternative to fork trucks and elevators, resulting in cost savings up to 50%. This line of Freight lifts comes equipped with matched hydraulic cylinders, cables and sheaves, or direct acting cylinders, as well as all controls and devices necessary for two level operation. In the lowered position the platform rests on the floor--however in the raised position hydraulic pressure builds to eliminate hydraulic drift.  Typical applications involve retrieving or placing products in storage on a second level or mezzanine or being utilized as part of an automated conveyor system.

Capacity: 12 models available with capacities from 1,000 to 6,000 lbs. There are six straddle and six cantilever models.
Travel: Maximum height 28' with 2 stops.
Platform: 3' x 3' min. to 8'x10' max. 
Speed: 25 fpm 
Power Unit: 5 hp 3-phase 
Controls: Two, 3-button, (up-down-stop). 
Features: Meets ANSI/ASME B20.1. Zero drift feature. UL listed controls, tension platform roller, swaged cables and fleet sheave arrangement. Accommodates C, Z, or 90 load patterns.
Gates and Enclosures: All Freight lifts require by ANSI B20.1 code, an enclosure and gate at each landing or stop. There are three standard gate options: A single or double outward swinging gate panel; a horizontally sliding gate panel; or a vertically raising gate panel. Each gate features a proven and dependable electro/mechanical interlock that allows the gate to be opened only when the platform is at that landing. A number of custom variations are also available.
System Integration: All Freight lift models can be integrated into an automated conveyor system. Freightlift/American Custom Lifts engineers stand ready to work with any system designer to provide custom specifications or any special accommodations necessary. The mechanically raised and lowered models are often the easiest to integrate into a system because they offer the most control over their stop and start movements. However, Freightlift hydraulic models and the Package Lift have been used quite successfully in a number of specialized applications. American Custom Lifts takes a back seat to no one in providing standard and custom models for system integration.
