Two Post Cantilever Lift
The carriage is guided and supported by two masts, both of which are located on the same side of the carriage. Two post cantilever lifts are most commonly actuated by either electro-hydraulic or electro-mechanical means. Because three sides of the carriage can be accessed, this style lift can accommodate "C", "Z" and 90 degree loading patterns.
