AMSTERDAM, NEW YORK, July 15, 2026 – LiftPoint by Mohawk Lifts has been awarded a U.S. patent covering its LTX and MHX 2 post service lifts and mast adapter system, demonstrating the company’s position as the leader in material handling service equipment for warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial maintenance operations.
Designed to address the growing maintenance challenges in high-volume facilities, the patented LTX/ platform helps technicians safely lift and service a wide range of material handling equipment on a single platform. As the only patented two-post service lift engineered specifically for the material handling industry, the LiftPoint service lift can service all five classes of material handling vehicles—including traditional forklifts, reach trucks, order pickers, pallet jacks, and AGVs—on a single system.
By eliminating the need for multiple lifting systems and providing unobstructed undercarriage and wheel-free access, the LTX/MHX platform helps maintenance teams improve technician productivity and maximize fleet availability. Additionally, the optional patented MHX adapter further improves service flexibility by allowing warehouse and industrial equipment to be elevated without engaging all four lift swing arms, reducing setup time and positioning accuracy.
“This patent recognizes the engineering behind the LTX and MHX platforms and the real problem they were built to solve,” said Bill Rivett, National Sales Manager, LiftPoint. “Material handling fleets are becoming more diverse, and service teams need safer, faster, more ergonomic ways to maintain the equipment that keeps warehouses, manufacturing and distribution centers moving. LiftPoint was designed to give those teams one simple platform for the job.”
Built and manufactured in the United States, LiftPoint service lifts combine forklift mast-inspired construction, direct-drive hydraulic lifting technology, adjustable lifting configurations, and integrated safety systems to support uptime, technician ergonomics and productivity, and long-term durability across demanding material handling environments.
LiftPoint LTX/MHX Key Features:
- Heavy-duty column construction using forklift mast channel for strength, stability, and long service life
- Two 4-inch direct-drive hydraulic cylinders provide stable, balanced lifting performance
- Eight double-sealed, self-lubricating steel ball bearing rollers support smooth carriage travel under demanding loads
- Low-profile 1.5-inch, three-stage swing arms fit under all material handling equipment, while the optional MHX adapter helps reduce setup time for faster service access
- Adjustable swing arm configurations accommodate class I–IV equipment across varying model types, lengths, and widths
- Flexible hydraulic line routing supports overhead or in-floor installation options
- ALI-certification provides customers with third-party validation that the lift meets applicable industry safety and performance standards
- Industry-leading warranty coverage, including a 25-year structural warranty
With this U.S. patent award, LiftPoint further revolutionizes the material handling service equipment industry, helping warehouses, distribution centers, third-party service providers, and industrial maintenance teams improve technician access, reduce service bottlenecks, and keep critical fleet assets operating.
