Professional Self-Storage Units in Indianapolis, IN

The servo-motor on all Vantage Storage lift models can operate on either a 110V or 220V (single phase) current. The motor works great on a standard 110V (15 amp) household current. The use of 220V will increase the platform speed in both directions. (See specification comparison chart ) If you plan to use your Vantage Storage lift more than a couple times each day, then 220V may be a better choice.

We recommend that your Vantage Lift be anchored to a concrete floor with a minimum thickness of 3.5 inches and 3500 PSI. If you are unsure about the thickness or integrity of your concrete floor, please consult a professional automotive lift installer or commercial concrete supplier for recommendations. Each Vantage Storage lift comes with two lengths of 5/8 inch (16mm) concrete wedge anchors. The shorter wedge anchors should be installed through the front/side base holes of the column. The longer wedge anchors are to be installed through both of the holes in the rear base column support brace and through the rear holes in the column base.

The Vantage Storage Lift is a single-column lift with a motorized cantilevered platform. The cantilevered platforms create a large of amount of raised storage space. Distributing the platform weight (as evenly as possible) and with the heaviest weight being placed closer to the column will reduce stress factors on the platform and the column as the platform is being raised. For more information, please refer to page 33 in the manual.

For many customers, the Vantage Lift will not be used on a daily basis, so preventative maintenance time schedules will vary. The concrete anchors should be checked every 7-14 days to make sure that they are secure. The lift cable should be checked after every 20-30 lifting cycles to make sure that there is no fraying of the cable wires. Replace the lift cable if there are frayed wires visible. You may apply a light coat of cable lubricant every 2-6 months, depending on usage. The assembly hardware (nuts/bolts) of the platform frame and back brace should be checked after every 20-30 cycles to ensure that all hardware is tightened properly.

The Vantage Lifts may be installed outdoors as long as the concrete slab meets or exceeds the installation requirements. The servo motor and remote-control receiver are enclosed, but must be protected from any type of moisture. The lift cable and other moving parts need be checked frequently and properly lubricated at all times. We recommend that the Vantage Storage lift be installed under a roof or canopy and not be subjected to extreme temperatures. Recommended operating temperature for the motor is 40 degrees (F) to 100 degrees (F).
