FAQs: Answering Common Questions About the Eagle Lift

October 8, 2024

At Lifeline Lift Co., we receive many questions about the Eagle Lift and its features. In this blog post, we address some of the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand how the Eagle Lift can benefit your operations.

  1. How does the lift cycle work? 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.
  2. How should the operator be positioned? 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.
  3. What are the safety features of the EAGLE Lift? 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.
  4. Can the EAGLE Lift be used with different types of containers? 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.
  5. How do I maintain the EAGLE Lift? 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.
