Maintenance Tips

Keep your lift running safely in the Gulf Coast environment.

Inspect cables and hardware annually

Salt-air environments accelerate corrosion — schedule an annual inspection to catch wear early.

Leaves, sand, and moisture buildup can affect sensors and mechanical components.

Test safety stops regularly

Run a monthly test of all limit switches and safety stops to ensure proper operation.

Lubricate moving parts

Apply manufacturer-recommended lubricant to guide rails and mechanical components every 6 months.

Schedule a Coastal Care™ maintenance plan

Our annual service plans keep your lift running safely and protect your warranty.
