4 Things To Know About Driving a Lift n Load

At Impac Manufacturing, we know just how helpful a Lift n Load can be. Whether you’re in the market for an electric winch, a pickup truck crane, or a pickup truck lift, a Lift n Load may be the solution. It makes life so much simpler, but there are also a few things you should know. We’re breaking it all down below, so keep reading to learn more, or contact our team today to request a quote

Width

The width of the Lift n Load makes all the difference. You need to make sure your doors can accommodate it, or you will need to take extra time finding convenient loading access points. Make sure the Lift n Load is narrower than your doorways before purchasing one. It should be as close as possible to the width of standard doors and hallways. This allows for maximum use and convenience; we know that’s important! You’ll also want to measure both ways since a lift and load might not fit in either direction, depending on where you’re trying to load and unload it.

Height

Just like with door widths, you need to pay attention to how tall your delivery site is too. Not every building is created equally, so it’s important to keep this in mind. If you have a low ceiling height, the Lift n Load could hit the top of your delivery site, causing damage and delays to production. Your team should also measure the height before scheduling an appointment with us to make sure there are no surprises.


Weight

Since Lift n Loads are vehicles that transport goods from one location to another, they are just as heavy as every other vehicle on the road. This means our drivers will need to use their truck’s weight distribution hitch for stability while driving over surfaces like gravel or uneven terrain — and that rear axle is going to be back there too! We can’t always predict the surfaces we’ll be driving on, so it’s important for you to make sure your site is fully prepared before driving in. We don’t want to risk damaging any roads or surfaces with the Lift n Load’s weight.

Occupants

Your driver will be behind the wheel of a truck with heavy equipment on it, so we’re only allowing drivers who are physically able to handle this kind of stress. Since they’re operating our Lift n Loads with rear-wheel steering , only licensed drivers over 18 years old will be permitted to drive one at your site too. This way, everyone can remain safe while unloading and loading packages onto the truck safely! Contact Impac Manufacturing today if you have any additional questions about what you need for delivery.
