The Lift supports less weight than its rated capacity if the Vehicle’s wheelbase is shorter; this is
because the wheels are closer to the middle of the Runways, where there is less strength.
For example, the maximum weight allowed on the Lift for a Vehicle with a wheelbase of 85" is
50 percent of the Lift’s rated capacity (or 4,500 lbs when the rated capacity is 9,000 lbs).
