It seems like only yesterday when we were manually lifting obtusely heavy items into the beds of our pickup trucks. With the advent of different variations of lifting systems for truck beds, the days of heavy lifting were in the past. The evolution of these lifts has continued, and life before IMPAC lift systems is something we should put into the history books. Keep reading as we remember the lifts that came before, and look forward to the IMPAC these new lifts will have.
Pickup Truck Lift
These slender classics were an outstanding substitute to primitive manpower and usually lift about 1,200 lbs maximum. However, this jib crane style lift had pitfalls other than barely contributing more than four humans. The traditionally thin base lead to easy damage or destruction if the lift was incapable of lifting the load, to mention one example. Regardless, these lifts will be sourly remembered after you turn the page to an IMPAC lift.
Truck Bed Lift Gates
Lift gates finally provided a substantial lifting capacity, however their versatility left a lot to be desired. With a flat base raising and lifting massive loads, unless the load was securely stable, lifting certain objects was high risk or even impossible. Needless to say, lift gates can be used in certain instances but in terms of equalling the capability of IMPAC, lift gates can’t hold a candle.
Boom Cranes
Talk about excessive — if your job requires a boom crane then you need to hire a construction company. These things take multiple people to be run safely on-site and are very complicated machines to operate. Signs indicate boom cranes aren’t going anywhere fast so they won’t be soon forgotten, but in the world of truck bed lifts, there is only one to remember.
IMPAC Lift System
The IMPAC 2000 is the premier lift system for large pickup truck owners. This one-man operation system capable of lifting up to 1 ton fits 1-ton cab and chassis trucks. Equipped with an electric winch and hydraulic boom, the list of features is seemingly endless. We will look back on the lifts of the past but as we look forward, the IMPAC 2000 is superior.
If your life or work requires you to do all the heavy lifting, and we mean that quite literally, then you need to explore the impact that this lift will have on your truck. It is one of the single best enhancements you can make to your vehicle, increasing productivity and making you exponentially more capable. Visit us online and request a quote now!
