Built for heavy-duty, commercial, and municipal fleets

An oversized steel pulley reduces internal stress, and 60-inch lifting carriages balance the long 62-inch arms for ideal weight distribution in the columns.

EELS542A heavy-duty two-stage front and rear arms

Two-stage front & rear arms

Heavy-duty two-stage arms front and rear enable a wide range of symmetric lifting — from a compact sedan to a heavy-duty truck on a single lift.

EELS542A stack adapters in organizer rack

Stack adapters & screw pads standard

Stack screw pads come standard and work with a wide range of vehicles; heavy-duty stack adapters store in the organizer rack for quick access.

EELS542A adjustable height extension

Air-actuated safety release

A single-point, air-actuated safety lock release lets technicians disengage both columns simultaneously, and a two-foot column extension handles the tallest trucks and cargo vans.

Where we come in on a EELS542A / EELS543A

Wherever you buy it, this is the part we handle — anywhere in Florida.

Repair and parts

Authorized John Bean service provider — cylinders, cables, locks, power units, and controls. We rebuild hydraulic cylinders in-house in Micanopy, so a discontinued part is not the end of the lift.

ALI-certified inspection

Annual inspection by ALI Certified Lift Inspectors with the serialized sticker and the paperwork — logged in our FieldSvc platform so the history is there when you need it.

Installation and relocation

New delivery, added bay, or a move across town — we set, anchor, and load-test John Bean lifts to spec and commission them properly, whoever you bought them from.
