MDS-6LP Specific FAQs
Can I move the MDS-6LP lift around my garage or shop?
While the MDS-6LP is designed for stationary use, it can be relocated with the appropriate equipment, such as a pallet jack or forklift. However, due to its weight, it's not intended for frequent movement. We recommend planning your installation location carefully to maximize efficiency.
What type of vehicles are best suited for the MDS-6LP lift?
The MDS-6LP is versatile and suitable for a wide range of cars and light trucks. Its extended platforms and adjustable width make it ideal for vehicles with varying wheelbases and widths.

Yes, we recommend considering additional rubber contact blocks for increased vehicle protection and stability. Also, many customers find it useful to have a rolling work seat or creeper to enhance comfort and mobility while working under the vehicle. A good lighting source is also always a plus.
How does the open-center design benefit me?How does the open-center design benefit me?
The open-center design allows for unobstructed access to the underside of the vehicle. This is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring access to the center of the vehicle, such as exhaust work or transmission repairs. It also gives you more room to move tools and equipment around, improving overall workflow.
Is the MDS-6LP ALI certified?

California Prop 65 Warning
WARNING: Use of these products can expose you to chemicals including styrene and vinyl chloride which are on the list of over 900 chemicals identified by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm. ALWAYS use this product in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. For more information, go to www.p65warnings.ca.gov.
This warning is required by the California Proposition 65 (Prop 65), also called the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act which is meant to notify California residents of exposures to Prop 65 listed chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. The State of California maintains a list of these chemicals and updates it annually.
The Prop 65 list currently contains over 900 chemicals and continues to expand. The law requires companies to provide a warning on their products and/or packaging if they contain these chemicals. Proposition 65 only applies to companies that operate, manufacture or sell products in California, but because our products are sold all over the world we have elected to include Prop 65 warnings on all products we sell to provide consumers with information so that they can make informed decisions about the products they purchase and use.
The warning does not mean that the product is in violation of any product safety standard, but that certain chemicals may have been used in the manufacturing or packaging production process, even if these products have been used for many years without documented harm.
