DYNA-LIFT
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DYNA-LIFT from 3G Electric.
What stroke lengths are available for DYNA-LIFT electric hydraulic lift kits?
DYNA-LIFT electric hydraulic lift kits are available in stroke lengths of 6 inches, 8 inches, 12 inches, and 16 inches. The stroke length determines the vertical travel distance of the lift. For example, the 6-inch stroke models (such as MPN 4E-D1A-06-S and 4E-D1C-06-S) provide shorter travel, while the 16-inch stroke models (such as 4E-D1A-16-S and 4E-D1C-16-S) offer longer travel. The choice depends on the required lift height for the application. All models operate on 115V AC and have system load ratings of either 1,000 lb or 1,500 lb, depending on the specific model.
What is the difference between caster and foot with glide end types on DYNA-LIFT lift kits?
The end type refers to the base or mounting interface of the lift. Caster end types are equipped with wheels, allowing the lift to be moved easily across a floor for mobile positioning. Foot with glide end types have a flat foot that can slide or rest on a surface, providing a more stationary base. Caster models are typically used where the lift needs to be relocated between tasks, while foot with glide models are used in fixed or semi-fixed installations. Both end types are available across various stroke lengths and load ratings in the DYNA-LIFT electric hydraulic lift kit line.
What is the system load rating for DYNA-LIFT electric hydraulic lift kits?
DYNA-LIFT electric hydraulic lift kits have system load ratings of either 1,000 lb or 1,500 lb. The load rating indicates the maximum weight the lift system is designed to raise and support. Models with a 1,000 lb rating include those with MPNs such as 4E-D1A-06-S, 4E-D1C-06-S, 4E-D1A-12-S, 4E-D1C-12-S, 4E-D1A-16-S, and 4E-D1C-16-S. Models with a 1,500 lb rating include 4E-D1D-08-H and 4E-D1D-12-H. The load rating should be matched to the application's requirements, with a safety margin considered.
What motor voltage do DYNA-LIFT electric hydraulic lift kits use?
All DYNA-LIFT electric hydraulic lift kits in the 3G Electric catalog operate on 115V AC. This is a standard voltage for many industrial and commercial power systems. The 115V AC motor powers the hydraulic pump to raise and lower the lift. Buyers should verify that their facility's power supply matches this voltage. For applications requiring different voltages, alternative models may exist, but the current product line supplied by 3G Electric is limited to 115V AC. Consult the manufacturer's documentation for any additional voltage options.
How do I identify the correct replacement DYNA-LIFT hydraulic lift kit?
To identify the correct replacement, note the manufacturer part number (MPN) of the existing unit. DYNA-LIFT MPNs follow a pattern that encodes stroke length and end type. For example, 4E-D1C-16-S indicates a 16-inch stroke with caster end type, while 4E-D1A-06-S indicates a 6-inch stroke with foot with glide end type. The load rating is also indicated by the model series. If the MPN is not available, measure the stroke length, check the end type, and confirm the load rating and voltage. 3G Electric stocks multiple SKUs and can assist with cross-referencing based on these specifications.
What are typical applications for DYNA-LIFT electric hydraulic lift kits?
DYNA-LIFT electric hydraulic lift kits are used in industrial maintenance, material handling, and positioning tasks. They can raise and lower equipment for maintenance access, position components during assembly, or adjust the height of work surfaces. The electric motor allows for powered lifting, reducing manual effort. Caster models are useful where the lift must be moved between locations, such as in maintenance shops or assembly areas. Foot with glide models are suited to stationary installations, such as in production lines or test stands. The 1,000 lb and 1,500 lb load ratings cover medium-duty applications. The 115V AC motor is compatible with common industrial power supplies.
