Vertical Ram Lift/Single Ram – Extremely High Capacity, High Travel, and High Axle Load Ratings in the Smallest Possible Platform Size

Autoquip Single Ram Vertical Ram Lifts are the simplest, most rugged and versatile of all lifting solutions when application requirements call for:
1) Extremely high vertical travels
2) Extremely high lifting and/or axle load capacities
3) Small to medium sized platform sizes. 

Developed for those customers who demand the very best in rugged, high capacity, custom-built industrial ram lifts, Vertical Ram Lifts have virtually no moving parts to wear out or maintain, and operate at extremely low hydraulic pressures, making the vertical ram lift the most efficient and trouble-free lift solution available. 

Single Ram Lifts are most widely used in heavy equipment manufacturing and processing, air cargo handling, warehousing, stage/orchestra lifts, or dock areas where high capacities are travelling high distances in the smallest possible footprint.

Autoquip has designed and manufactured Vertical Ram Lifts in America’s heartland for over 35 years.

We excel at providing our customers with specialized, custom-built solutions at the lowest possible price and with the shortest possible lead-time. Our technical sales and design experts walk each customer through an application review, complete a design concept, and generate quotes and proposal drawings specific to the requirements of each application.

Features and Benefits

Durability and Quality

  • Precision-built steel ram plungers are polished to a mirror-finish and each bearing is fitted individually to the ram, creating a wear-proof and close precision tolerance – along with our exclusive fluid prison seal – that keeps the ram oil tight at zero or maximum working pressures.
  • Minimum 3/8-inch thick steel reinforced platform minimizes deck deflection, maximizes load stability, and extends life of the platform deck.
  • Loading platform features structural steel channels for rigidity and stability under heavy axle loads.
  • Large diameter lifting rams with long plunger bearings defend against platform bending and movement under high edge load and other eccentric conditions.


Maintenance and Warranty

  • Vertical rams are the only moving part, reducing overall maintenance activities and costs.
  • Extremely low operating pressures minimize wear on all hydraulic and power unit components.
  • Autoquip offers an industry-best 2-year warranty on all parts as a promise that you’ve purchased the industry’s most reliable lift.


Simplicity

  • Simple and reliable wall-mounted operator controls offer the operator complete visual contact of the lift during raising and lowering.
  • Extremely high axle load and rollover load capacities offer limitless options to the types of vehicles that can be used on or around the lift.
  • Remotely located power reduces lift noise and improves quality of the work environment for work-site personnel. 
  • Holding valve eliminates platform downward movement once the “UP” button is released and the lift reaches the upper load transfer elevation.
  • Lifting rams maintain platform stability and level throughout the lift’s vertical travel without the need for additional stabilization.


Safety

  • Non-skid surface minimizes slipping & loss of traction in wet conditions.
  • Minimum 3:1 structural factor of safety makes these lifts the most structurally sound lift in the industry.
  • Compliance with recognized standards:
    • NFPA 70 – National Electric Code
    • ASTM – A36 – Structural Steel Standard
    • ANSI Z535 – Safety Labeling Requirements
    • AWS D.1 – Welding Standards
    • Applicable portions of OSHA 29CFR1910 – General workplace safety
