Precautions and Safety Notices

  • Kwiklift slopes slightly from front to rear. Always use wheel chocks, and /or other chock devise. Always set the parking brake.
  • Never exceed Maximum Rated Weight Capacity Varies depending on Kwiklift you purchased. Never exceed capacity.
  • Use Kwiklift only on flat, level concrete or hardened asphalt surfaces.
  • Avoid grass, dirt, gravel or other soft surfaces.
  • Drive on and off Kwiklift at very slow speed. Position tires 1-2 inches from front leg safety stops.

Important Safety Tips

If your floor jack has shallow “TEETH” on the jack saddle, you should consider replacing your jack with one that has a deeper saddle between the teeth.  The tube should be positioned so that two of the teeth are in front of the tube and two are behind.

If your tire or Kwik-lift ramps are wet and your tires should spin while driving on, a non-skid tape may be applied.

Non-skid tape is available at most local hardware or home stores.
