arm. Features Rocket Lift by use of twin pistons, bringing saddle up to jacking point with minimal pumps. Polyurethane wheels for smooth and
quiet manoeuvring, which also limits damage to garage oors. Lifting bars are tted either side of the anodised aluminium chassis enabling fast,
lightweight pick-up.
