Self-Diagnostic Lifts
Lifts have many moving parts that require scheduled maintenance, but some models have built-in self-diagnostics that will alert the operator should repairs be needed. Brake systems, batteries, and other parts of the machine can and do go bad before the end of their expected life span. Self-diagnostic machines go a long way toward preventing unnecessary downtime and breaks in productivity due to lifts that have been damaged because a faulty or broken part wasn't properly identified. When it comes time to purchase a new lift, check with your manufacturer to see what lifts might feature such diagnostic tools and on what parts of your lift's “anatomy” they will work with.
