Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The lift cycle is initiated by using the lift arm. The springs are calibrated to provide 45 pounds of lifting assistance up to the mid lift cycle, which is when the lift arm reaches a 90-degree angle. This helps minimize the effort needed from the operator up to this point. As the lift cycle progresses, the weight of the container gradually transfers to the wheels at the base of the lift, which are locked to the dumpster. Once the lift arm is fully inverted, all the weight of the container is supported by the base, allowing the operator to release the lift arm safely.

To ensure safety and efficiency, the operator should stand with their shoulders squared to the dumpster, assisting the lift through its cycle without the need to lift or twist. This positioning leverages the design of the EAGLE Lift, which controls the entire dump cycle, reducing the physical strain on the operator and making the experience more manageable than manual lifting.

The EAGLE Lift is designed with several safety features to protect the operator. These include a lift handle safety release to prevent accidental operation when not secured to a dumpster and a stabilization mechanism that ensures the lift remains steady during use. Always ensure the lift is properly attached and secured before use.

Yes, the EAGLE Lift is versatile and can accommodate several container sizes ranging from 32 gallons to 64 gallons. The receiver is adjustable to securely fit these various containers, ensuring a smooth operation regardless of the container size.

Regular maintenance involves checking the integrity of all moving parts, ensuring that the springs and bolts are tight, and that the wheels and stabilizer bar are in good working order. Lubricate the moving parts periodically to keep them operating smoothly. For detailed maintenance instructions, refer to the user manual or contact our support team.

The EAGLE Lift is compatible with dumpsters that have a vertical face and no obstructions, with a threshold height up to 59 inches and a minimum of 42 inches. The dumpster should also have a lip width of up to 5 inches for secure attachment.

The EAGLE Lift is designed for single-operator use, allowing one person to safely and efficiently manage the lift cycle without assistance.

Operators are recommended to undergo basic operational training, which includes familiarization with all operational aspects, safety features, and emergency procedures. Training videos and manuals are available on our website.

Assembly typically takes about 30-45 minutes. A detailed step-by-step guide is provided, and we recommend watching the assembly video tutorial to ensure a correct and safe setup.

The EAGLE Lift should not be operated in temperatures below -30 degrees Fahrenheit as extreme cold can damage the spring seals. Additionally, caution should be used in wet or icy conditions to prevent slippage.

The EAGLE Lift comes with a 3-year warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover normal wear and tear or damage from improper use or accidents.

Replacement parts can be ordered directly through our website or by contacting our customer service department. Be sure to provide the model and serial number of your lift when ordering parts.

While the EAGLE Lift is designed with stability in mind, it performs best on flat, stable surfaces. Use on uneven ground or inclined surfaces is not recommended as it can pose safety risks.

Attach the EAGLE Lift using the dumpster attachment hook, which locks over the lip of the dumpster. Ensure the hook is fully secured and check that the stabilizer bar rests properly against the dumpster side.

Ensure that both the lift and the dumpster area are free of ice and excess water. Use non-slip mats and wear appropriate footwear to prevent slipping. Regularly inspect the lift mechanism for ice buildup in cold weather.
