Mohawk sells it · we install and service it

Mohawk sells this one factory-direct, and that works out fine — we're an authorized Mohawk installer and service provider. Order it from Mohawk and we'll meet the freight truck: set, anchored, load-tested, and certified with our own ALI sticker. After that we're the ones who maintain it.

Heavy-duty lifts for heavy-duty service

Pick the capacity your fleet needs — the plate-steel construction, direct drive, and layered safeties stay the same.

LMF-12 series forklift-mast steel columns

¾" forklift-mast columns

Every column is cut from ¾" thick forklift mast steel, and every carriage rides eight double-sealed, self-lubricating steel ball-bearing rollers — no plastic sliders, no greasing.

Twin-cylinder direct drive system

Twin-cylinder direct drive

Dual 4" heavy-duty cylinders with direct-drive lifting rods — no equalizer chains, cables, or pulleys to stretch, fray, or fail. Patented hydraulic synchronization keeps both sides level.

All-position safety locks on the TP series

Patented layered safeties

Mechanical locks engage at all positions from ground level to full height in both columns, backed by infinite-position hydraulic safeties, flow controls, velocity fuses, and automatic swing-arm restraints.

The data plate

The numbers that matter — straight from Mohawk's spec sheet.

Will it fit your shop?

Three measurements decide it. Grab a tape measure — or send us these numbers and we'll confirm it fits your bay.

8' 7"
Column height

Short columns for a heavy-duty lift — overhead lines run 15' standard, adjust to any ceiling, or route in-floor.

12' 7½"
Overall width

Column-to-column footprint. Plan roughly a 13-foot bay so doors open comfortably on both sides.

6½"
Concrete floor

4,000 psi mix at 6½" — sixteen ¾" x 6" anchor bolts included.

Where we come in on a LMF-12 / TP-16 / TP-18

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

Repair and parts

Authorized Mohawk 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 Mohawk lifts to spec and commission them properly, whoever you bought them from.
