To Our Valued Customers:
Thank you for purchasing a Titan Lifts® product. We hope this high quality equipment provides you with years of
dependable service.
It is unfortunate that rare situations may occur with the products you purchase from Titan Lifts®. We value your
business as well as the trust you have and need to maintain your relationship with us. Titan Lifts® carries liability
coverage that may protect our customers if a situation does occur. However, as in all accidents there must be
proof of liability for a claim to be made. Our insurance company requires the following procedures be observed in
order to consider a claim:
A. The claimant must contact the Titan Lifts® distributor immediately with the facts of the situation.
B. If any equipment is damaged, including vehicles or shop equipment, Titan Lifts® must be given the
opportunity to send and impartial representative to the site for proper assessment of the situation.
C. The Vehicle cannot be moved until either an impartial representative has reviewed the accident or clear
and precise pictures are taken that reect all the pertinent information for an impartial representative to be able
to access the information from a distance. Titan Lifts® or its representatives must approve the pictures before
anything can be moved.
D. If any potential liability is determined on behalf of Titan Lifts®, two estimates must be submitted for
damages to be reimbursed.
It is imperative that the claimant complies with these procedures, because without proper assessment of the sit-
uation a claim will be denied.

LESS THAN 6” (101.6MM) THICK WITH THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF THE
CONCRETE NO LESS THAN 3,000 PSI (20.68MPA).
DANGER: FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE LIFT, THE FLOOR MUST
BE FLAT AND LEVEL. CHECK WITH STRAIGHT EDGE AND LEVEL. IF A FLOOR IS
OF QUESTIONABLE SLOPE, CONSIDER A SURVEY OF THE SITE AND/OR THE
