The next generation of electric vehicles has arrived, and it didn't go unnoticed by us that the lifting points of these vehicles are very different. Using long-wheelbase vehicles (which includes some very popular electric cars) as our point of reference, we designed the MDS-6EXT mid-rise lift to accommodate longer lifting points that better reach the extreme edges of the vehicle underbody. Along with the flush-mount MDS-6EXTF, these two models maintain their open-center design, just like our standard MDS-6LP, and MDS-6LPF models. Clipping on a set of extended approach ramps turns your flush-mount mid-rise lift into an approach lift.
The ramps are long enough to accommodate low-stance vehicles with ease, and they make it easier for vehicles with larger tires to glide on without difficulty. The MDS-6EXT has a pneumatic kicker that literally boosts the lift platforms for the first 6" of lift. This is important because a scissor lift's convenience also creates a mechanical disadvantage that we found a way around. In other words, being able to lower the lift a mere 4" off the ground makes the physics "rocket boosters" are installed that assist the hydraulics in the initial phase. They never need maintenance and will ensure your lifting life is easier than ever.
It's pretty cool that air rockets are on your lift, if we say so ourselves. All four hydraulic cylinders on this car lift work in unison to create an even lift at all times. A built-in flow divider ensures that each hydraulic hose receives equal pressure. After the initial pneumatic assistance, the cylinders work on their own to achieve about 45" of lift in seconds flat. While the lift rises, the safety arms lock automatically and continuously. When secured in place, the mechanical locks take all the pressure off the hydraulic system, ensuring zero chance of failure due to fluid leaks. Instead of spring releases, the MDS-6EXT features air lock releases that instantly disengage the lock upon descent. They require almost zero maintenance and are absolutely as safe as spring devices. Requires 50 PSI, 10 CFM.
