If you need a portable lift, but are on a tight budget, consider a manual portable lift. One model called the Trans-Positioner Straddle Design, comes in a fully manual version for just under $3,000. Compare that with the cost of the fully electric version which has a $10,000 price tag.
If your facility needs the technology at a reduced price, the fully manual mode may be your budget's best friend. There are also models that feature a manual drive but have an electric lift. This combination is also affordable and may be better suited to your needs depending on the operation. The fully manual version carries a load rated at just over 2,000 pounds. The manual/electric version can carry 3,000, the same capacity as the fully electric version. It all depends on the needs of your operation and the capacity you desire out of your portable electric lifts.
