Forward Lifts S100152Y Extended Ramp Kit for SM/SMO/ARO14 Lifts
The Forward S100152Y extended ramp kit brings professional-grade accessibility to your SM, SMO, or ARO14 four-post lift. At 49-3/8" long, these extended-approach ramps provide a gentler loading angle that makes it significantly easier to drive longer vehicles, trucks, and SUVs onto the lift. Forward ramps are engineered to withstand the demands of high-volume professional service centers while protecting your facility floors. Built to Rotary's quality standards and backed by proven reliability.
Forward Lifts S100152Y Features
Extended 49-3/8" Ramp Length
The 9" longer approach compared to standard ramps creates a gentler angle that makes loading trucks, SUVs, and extended-wheelbase vehicles substantially easier. Reduces the need for repositioning, speeds load times, and improves operator confidence and safety when handling larger vehicles.
Polymer Roller Protection System
Integrated polymer rollers protect your concrete facility floors from tire damage while delivering smooth, quiet vehicle movement. The roller system enables effortless ramp traversal and minimizes operational noise in busy service environments.
Flexible Drive-Through Design
Can be installed as traditional approach ramps or configured as drive-through ramps for vehicle inspection access from either end of the lift. This flexibility optimizes workflow efficiency in high-volume shops and multi-service facilities.
Integrated Wheel Chock Function
When the lift is raised, the ramps function as built-in wheel chocks, providing safety containment during service work. This integrated safety feature eliminates the need for separate chocking equipment and reduces setup time.
Professional-Grade Construction
Built to Rotary's stringent manufacturing standards using heavy-duty materials rated for continuous commercial use. Forward ramps are engineered for reliability in high-traffic professional environments with minimal maintenance requirements.

Forward Lifts S100152Y FAQ
How much longer are the extended ramps compared to standard ramps?
The Forward S100152Y extended ramps are 49-3/8" long, compared to 40-1/2" for standard Forward ramps. This 8-7/8" difference creates a significantly gentler approach angle that makes loading longer vehicles substantially easier and safer.
Are these ramps compatible with my Forward lift?
The S100152Y extended ramps are designed for Forward SM, SM014, SMO, SMO14, AR, AR14, ARO, and ARO14 four-post lifts with 14,000 lb capacity. Verify your specific model number before ordering. Contact our sales team to confirm compatibility with your exact lift configuration.
What types of vehicles benefit most from extended ramps?
Extended ramps are ideal for pickup trucks, SUVs, vans, and vehicles with extended wheelbases. The longer approach angle reduces suspension stress during loading and provides technician positioning that's easier and more controlled. Vehicles with 200" plus wheelbase typically require extended ramps for optimal loading.
Can I configure these ramps as drive-through ramps?
Yes, the S100152Y ramps can be installed as standard approach ramps or configured in drive-through mode, allowing vehicles to pass through for inspection or service access from either end of the lift. Your Forward dealer can advise on the best configuration for your specific facility.
What are polymer rollers and why do they matter?
Polymer rollers are durable synthetic wheels built into the ramp surface that allow smooth vehicle movement across the ramps. They protect your concrete facility floors from tire damage while ensuring quiet, effortless vehicle loading. This extends floor lifespan and creates a more efficient work environment.
Will extended ramps work safely with my lift?
Extended ramps are engineered and tested by Forward Lift for their 14,000 lb lift models and meet safety specifications. However, proper installation is critical to maintain load distribution and lift balance. We recommend professional installation to ensure ramps are correctly attached and aligned.
How much do the extended ramps weigh?
The complete pair of extended ramps weighs approximately 350 lbs, reflecting the heavy-duty construction designed for continuous commercial use. Proper handling equipment and installation assistance is recommended during setup and installation.
Can I purchase individual ramps or only as a pair?
The S100152Y is sold as a pair only. Forward lift ramps are designed to function as a matched set to ensure safe, balanced lift operation. Both ramps must be equal in length and condition to maintain proper alignment and safety performance.
What maintenance do these ramps require?
Polymer roller ramps require minimal maintenance. Periodic cleaning to remove debris and occasional visual inspection for wear are typically all that's needed. The polymer rollers are designed for durability and should provide years of reliable service in normal commercial shop environments.
What if I currently have standard ramps and want to upgrade?
Extended ramps are complete manufactured units and cannot be converted from standard length. If you want to upgrade from standard ramps, you'll need to exchange them. Contact Forward Lift or your equipment distributor for upgrade pricing, trade-in options, and installation details.
