Service-focused design

Core features to verify before dedicating a service bay.

01 · Capacity

12,000 lb rating

The current manufacturer listing rates the HW-12HD at 12,000 lb. Vehicle weight distribution, approved lift points and current operating instructions still govern safe use.

02 · Hydraulics

Dual-cylinder direct drive

The two-post structure uses dual hydraulic cylinders in a direct-drive configuration rather than a chain-driven carriage system.

03 · Safety

Single-point release

A central safety lock release coordinates lock disengagement, while automatic arm restraints help maintain arm position during lifting.

04 · Vehicle reach

Symmetric two-stage arms

Manufacturer data currently lists both front and rear arm reach from approximately 32 5/32 in. to 49 7/32 in.
