Greg Smith Equipment is pleased to introduce our new Atlas 12AWFSL 12,000 lb. alignment scissor lift. This lift has been in production for several years and hundreds of these lifts have been sold throughout the world except for the North America.
Our Asian partner developed this lift in a joint venture with one of the most prestigious Italian lift manufacturers. The combination of the Italian engineering and design coupled with the low cost of the Asian labor has resulted in an alignment lift that is equal to or better than similar big name lift brands costing two and three times as much money.
Atlas and Greg Smith Equipment are the only authorized distribution facilities in North America.
The Atlas alignment lift has a lifting height of over seven feet so that it may be floor mounted or recessed if the customer decides on a flush mount installation. The full frame under the scissor lift provides for maximum stability.
All Atlas alignment scissor lifts can be surface mounted or flush mounted. Each lift comes with approach ramps for the floor mounted application or an optional set of ramps if the customer decides to flush mount the lift. Check the technical specifications to better understand how the extra high lifting height allows the Atlas 12K alignment scissor to be flush mounted and still offer plenty of room under the runways to properly access the underside of the vehicle.
The extra long 53" long approach ramps make it easy to load low riding vehicles.
Once a vehicle is positioned on the Atlas alignment scissor lift, the optional Atlas RJ-6 rolling jack can lift the vehicle off of the runways to perform wheel service. The air powered hydraulic Atlas RJ-6 rolling jack has telescoping arms that extend over the runways to access lift points. These jacks have screw out extensions or optional stack on truck adapters.
Welded rails on the inside of the runways are standard on all lifts, allowing the customer the option of incorporating the Atlas RJ-6 rolling jack system on his Atlas alignment scissor lift.
Quality workmanship, ease of operation, straight forward installation instructions, a durable powder coat finish and the lowest prices in the Industry makes the Atlas 12AWFSL 12,000 alignment scissor lift the perfect choice for the demanding and discriminating shop owner.
This alignment lift includes a set of front turntables. The turntables may be moved into three different positions, allowing the customer to perform both two wheels and four wheels alignment on the shortest and longest of vehicles. This lift also includes metal turntable cover plates (that cover the cut-outs for the turntables) so that the vehicle is not sitting on the turntable if the lift is not being used for alignment.
This alignment scissor lift has multiple automatic locking positions to ensure that the lift can be safely used at different heights. The air actuated lock system engages automatically as the lift moves up and is deactivated from the control panel when the lift is ready to be lowered.
All Atlas scissor alignment lifts come with a Factory Installed air line kit at no extra charge ($400 value). This air line kit allows the customer to attach a (included) recoil air hose to both rolling jacks without the need of an exposed air hose across the work area floor. The air supply is plumbed into the control panel and the high pressure hose is routed to the inside rear of one platform and the inside front of the other runway. The unique air couplers can be adjusted to regulate the flow of air and can also be turned off without affecting the air supply to the other coupler. The air line kit is hidden and protected so that there is no chance to trip over and air hose. The work area around the lift and between the runways is uncluttered. Another great Atlas above ground lift feature that offers maximum benefits at no cost to the customer.
This lift features a wheels free runway jack system. The wheels free runway jack system has the same style air actuated lock system as the Atlas 12ASL. When fully extended, the wheels free system elevates to over 17 inches above the runway. This method is a perfect quick lift for a perimeter framed or unibody vehicle. The wheels free jack system is not designed to lift straight framed vehicles, because most straight framed vehicles have narrower lifting points than a unibody vehicle.
The wheels free system can be controlled from either the control panel or from a wired remote. This wired remote allows the customer to actuate the wheels free system from many different positions around the scissor lift.
The telescoping wheels free lift platform can be extended for longer wheels based vehicles. Standard heavy duty rubber supports are used to prevent damage to the lifting surfaces of the vehicle.
The electric motor for the power unit requires 220 Volt (single phase) 60 Hz. We recommend using at least a 10 gauge (grounded) wire from the electrical panel. The power unit may or may not have a short pigtail (no plug) that can be wired to either an optional quick disconnect box (mounted on the lift column) or to a male/female plug combination. A 30 amp breaker is recommended.
Some Atlas 4-post, 2-post, and scissor lifts are warranted for two (2) years on structural components and one (1) year on air or electric hydraulic power units, pneumatic power units, cylinders and major components from date of invoice. Wear items are covered by a 90 day warranty. NOTE: ALL WARRANTY CLAIMS MUST BE PRE-APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO BE VALID.

How Do I Get My Stuff Off The Truck?:
Many customers do not have access to loading docks and forklifts. We have assembled some photos of our products being unloaded with and without the aid of a forklift. Many of our freight carriers have power tailgates on their delivery trucks. There may be an extra charge for the power tailgate, depending on the carrier. The power tailgate is normally rated at 1000 LB. capacity. This is not enough capacity to unload most of our lifts. However, when used properly (and safely), the power tailgate (in conjunction with some common sense) allows the customer to off load many of our products without the use of a forklift.
Most truck shipments will be delivered by a commercial freight carrier operating a tractor/trailer rig. The semi trailer will be enclosed. Most commercial carriers have smaller straight trucks and some have small flatbed trucks, but the majority of freight companies will not use these smaller trucks for your delivery. Greg Smith Equipment cannot guarantee the type of truck that will be used for delivery. You should assume that your product will be delivered on a tractor/trailer rig that uses a 53 foot enclosed trailer. This is a VERY LONG rig. It is the truck driver's responsibility to make sure that your product is brought to the back of the delivery truck. It is the customer's responsibility to unload the product from the truck.
If you are going to have your products shipped, please review the following:
1. Shipping a large product to a business address or to a freight terminal creates far less headaches than shipping to a residence.
2. Are you sure that a semi with a 53 foot trailer can access your delivery area?
3. Do you have the proper equipment to off load your product? The truck driver will move the product to the back of the truck, but it is the customer's responsibility to unload.
4. Have you discussed the GSES shipping policy with your salesperson?
5. If you are shipping your product to a buddy's business (because he has the forklift), are you 100% sure that he will inspect your shipment for concealed damages?
Also:
Please read (and understand) the following the articles to make sure there is no confusion about your responsibility in the shipping process. We ship thousands of lifts, tire changers, wheel balancers, air compressors and other pieces of large equipment each year. Once you (the customer) order from us (the distributor), our goal is to make sure that delivery of your purchase goes as smoothly as possible. If you have questions, please get them asked and answered before the delivery truck pulls into your driveway.
Greg Smith Equipment stocks a complete inventory of parts for the equipment we sell. We employ a full staff of technicians who can assist you (over the phone or in our warehouses) in repairing your equipment with genuine parts. Certain Competitors do not stock the equipment they advertise and do not stock any of the parts or accessories.

When considering hydraulic oil, a question we often receive is "which is better, AW32 or AW46?" The short answer is that neither is better or worse. Ultimately, there are several factors that must be considered to determine which is the better option for your lift and your shop.
Oil is rated and identified by its viscosity, which determines its ability to flow at different temperatures. AW means Anti-Wear.
The lower the number, the thinner the oil and the more easily it flows. AW-32 is neither "better nor worse" than AW-46. The numbers refer only to the viscosity, not to the quality. Quality of the oil is determined by the manufacturer.
For Atlas above ground lifts, AW-32 (lower number than AW-46) will flow "better" in colder weather than AW-46. Customers in colder climates (with unheated garages or service areas) may want to use AW-32. Above ground lifts located in heated garages (or warmer climates) may use either AW-32 or AW-46. If your lift is located in a region that has a colder climate and you intend on using your lift (frequently) when the temperature is below 32 degrees, then you may want to consider automatic transmission fluid rather than hydraulic oil. We do not recommend the use of transmission fluid because its thinner viscosity (5W) can allow the oil to "weep" (around hydraulic cylinder seals) and transmission fluid may also reduce the "life expectancy" of the pump seals.
