Advance Lifts, a leading North American manufacturer of industrial scissor lift tables and dock lifts, highlights its “Big Friggin” (BFL) Series Lift Tables, designed for high travel applications that also require large platforms. These incredibly durable lift tables move larger loads and operators up to second levels and mezzanines, meeting the rigorous demands of the retail, food processing, material handling, automotive, manufacturing, industrial, warehousing, aerospace manufacturing, fabricating & metalworking, and large-scale printing industries.

The BFL Series hydraulic lifting platforms are constructed with superior quality, ensuring durability and minimal lifecycle costs while extending their lifespan. Advance Lift’s patented “Platform Centering Devices” can double or triple the lift life by keeping the lift platform and scissors legs in alignment during operation. This dramatically reduces the wear seen under moderate, off-center loading conditions.

The BFL Series lifts are available in a wide range of capacities and sizes, all designed for durability, and cost-efficiency. All units are constructed with structural tubing legs to enhance rigidity, reduce weight, and optimize costs.

Quality is evident throughout the entire system. The cylinders are machine-grade and feature return lines, enhancing quality, longevity, and reliability. Pressure hoses are double wire braided with JIC fittings. To withstand temperature variations, the BFL Series lifts use mild steel reservoirs instead of the plastic often found in competitor systems. The entire system is completely primed and finished with baked enamel.

The BFL Series comes in 12 models, with a wide range of platform sizes, speeds, and load capacities, with vertical travel options ranging from 120” to 216”, platform sizes up to 96”x144”, and load capacities of up to 6,000 lbs. Custom sizes and capacities are available to fit your specific needs.

All the controllers are Underwriter Laboratory listed assemblies. Advance Lifts hydraulic lifting platforms conform to all applicable ANSI codes.
