INTRODUCTION
Golden is proud to introduce the Tornado Lift to our line of
lifts.
This lift is a free-standing adjustable hydraulic lift
manufactured with T-6 marine grade aluminum and
stainless-steel hardware. This lift is ideal for freshwater and
saltwater applications where shore power might be an issue
or code regulations prevent piling or fixed structure lifts.
We weld all components that are not adjustable, which
prevents premature loosening of parts and there is no
contact of dissimilar metals in a saltwater environment, we
enclose our hydraulic shafts in our exclusive Air Bellow. The
‘Air Bellows’ prevent any harmful particles and marine
growth from damaging the hydraulic cylinders, seals and
shafts.
We use only eco-friendly biodegradable fluid. It is 100 %
water soluble and meets the strict guidelines of the US Fish
& Wildlife Service as non-toxic.
