Originally developed and built by American Lifts, the Single Arm family of scissors lift has been made in the USA for over 30 years. Since Autoquip's acquisition of the American Lift company, the production of the Single Arm series has been limited. However, because of such popularity of this legacy family of American Lifts, we now point our former Single Arm customers to one of two expanded, updated, and more easily customized family of hydraulic scissors: Titan and Series 35.
Read our responses to the most frequently asked questions regarding this transition:
Q: Why was this done?
A: Three reasons. First, Single Arm components will soon be obsolete and more difficult to procure and replace. Second, most of the Single Arm's design history is still in paper format - not electronic CAD files - and is extremely difficult to modify and customize. And last, the Single Arm design is based on outdated manufacturing technologies, which drive up cost when duplicated with modern machinery and techniques.
