National Fleet Products, a North American supplier of cargo lifting equipment, loading ramps and other aftermarket accessories for commercial vehicles, announced the introduction of its new ArtLift.
Compared with hydraulic or pneumatic systems, the ArtLift is extremely lightweight, but it has a 440-pound lifting capacity that accommodates more than 98% of common freight. A 12-volt electric motor provides the needed torque to smoothly rotate a worm gear that effortlessly lifts cargo items to a height of up to 3.28 feet.
This system’s compact design fits delivery vehicles of all types and is particularly well-suited to vans and small box trucks. When not in use, its 33- by 29.52-inch lift platform flips vertically to slide inside the vehicle, away from weather and road debris. At just 11.81 inches, the ArtLift stores flat against sidewalls and bulkheads or behind front seats and occupies about the same amount of space as a hand truck.
The ArtLift’s large diamondplate platform provides ample traction for loading and unloading cargo in moist or inclement weather. Beveled edges on the platform make it easy to roll on loads using dollies, pallet trucks, carts and any equipment with rollers. The vehicle-side platform edge folds vertically 90 degrees to form a backstop that prevents payloads from traveling during the lifting process.
Up and down buttons control the lift action, and little training is needed. The ArtLift is easy to maintain, requiring just one simple annual service procedure.
Weighing less than 200 pounds, the ArtLift is easy to install. It is designed to fit virtually any commercial with a deck height of 39.37 inches or less.
