Product Details

Built to Work. Designed to Store.

Mohawk car storage and vehicle service lifts are engineered to do more than raise a vehicle — they expand how your space works. Designed for both professional service and secure automotive storage, these 2-post lifts offer a single solution that supports daily repairs, long-term parking, and space-saving vehicle stacking without compromise.

With the optional wheel adapter kit, Mohawk 2-post lifts in the 10,000–18,000 lb. capacity range transition seamlessly from service applications to automotive storage. The result is a versatile lift system that delivers the strength, stability, and safety needed for working on vehicles, while also providing a reliable way to maximize floor space in garages, shops, and facilities where efficiency matters.

Engineered Mohawk Lift Construction

Every Mohawk lift is built with a focus on durability, stability, and long-term performance in demanding shop environments. The columns are formed from heavy ¾″ forklift mast steel with wide 4″ profiles, creating an exceptionally rigid structure designed to last the life of the lift. Instead of plastic wear blocks, Mohawk carriages ride on eight sealed, self-lubricating steel ball-bearing rollers, delivering smooth travel and reducing maintenance over time.

Power and control come from a dual-cylinder hydraulic system that provides consistent, balanced lifting — outperforming single-cylinder designs and lifts with undersized components. Stainless-steel hydraulic lines are fully adjustable and can be routed overhead or in-floor, allowing the lift to accommodate everything from tall trucks and vans to turf equipment, while remaining adaptable for facilities with limited ceiling height. Low-profile 3½″ swing arms offer clearance for low-riding vehicles, and stackable truck adapters are included to extend the lift’s range of applications.

Advanced Safety by Design

Mohawk incorporates safety into the core of every lift system. Mechanical safety locks are active at all positions in both columns, engaging as low as 5 inches and continuing throughout the entire lifting range. These mechanical systems are complemented by Mohawk’s patented internal hydraulic safety technology, supported by pressure-compensated flow controls and velocity fuse valves for added protection.

Automatic swing-arm restraints secure the vehicle during lifting and disengage only after the lift has fully lowered, helping maintain proper arm placement throughout operation. Mohawk further reinforces its commitment to safety and quality with one of the most extensive warranties available, including long-term coverage on structural and mechanical components, as well as a lifetime cylinder seal warranty.

Balanced, Cable-Free Hydraulic Performance

Mohawk’s lifting systems rely on precise hydraulic synchronization rather than traditional cables and pulleys. Fluid moves between twin cylinders through rigid stainless-steel lines — not flexible hoses — routed overhead or beneath the floor. This design eliminates the need for equalizer chains, floor plates, or restrictive overhead structures, resulting in a cleaner installation and more dependable operation.

Select models use heavy-duty leaf chain systems with dual bearings, while others feature direct-drive lifting, both of which reduce wear and avoid the stretching and maintenance issues common with cable-driven lifts. Paired with steel ball-bearing carriage rollers, the system delivers smooth, efficient motion and long-lasting performance suited for daily use in vehicle and turf equipment service applications.
