Lift for mechanical contractors SUMNER Manufacturing has introduced the compact 2416 Contractor Lift for mechanical contractors to quickly and easily move loads of 200kg (450lb) up to 5.1m (17ft) vertically with forks reversed. The 2416 extends upon Sumner’s 2412 Contractor Lift, but adds an extra mast and stabiliser legs, enabling users to lift more weight higher. The maximum footprint with stabiliser legs extended is 122 x 140cm (48" x 55 1 / 4 "). With front and stabiliser legs in stowed position the footprint reduces to 58 x 67cm (23" x 26 3 / 8 "). Founded in 1965, Sumner Manufacturing has served the welding and mechanical contracting industry for nearly a half century, creating material lifts, jack stands,

pipe fit-up clamps, welding tools and material carts that are currently used in more than 50 countries around the world, in numerous industries. Sumner Manufacturing Co, Inc – USA Fax: +1 281 999 6966 Email: customerservice@sumner.com Website: www.sumner.com

“The 2416 lift is perfect for any mechanical contractor looking for a compact, portable lift intended for one-man use on the job site,” stated national sales manager, Brendan Conway. “It easily fits in most vans, SUVs and truck beds. Like all Sumner lifts, the 2416 has an inside-mast cable feed to keep cable out of the operator’s face, and pulley guards that prevent load cables from coming off during transport.” The 2416 utilises four mast sections that extend or lower as the user cranks the lift winch and, like the 2412 Contractor Lift, a reversible fork that can be fitted with optional fork extensions, pipe cradles or a 24" x 28" steel tray. The 2416 features a double-handle at the top of the lift for easy manoeuvrability and casters that swivel independently for multi-directional positioning. Winch handles are detachable and wheels are positioned behind the winch assembly and at the bottom of the unit to enable laying the lift down and easily wheeling it into a vehicle. Both lift legs and stabiliser legs reposition and lock into place for compact storage. Plunger pins are used with the front leg lock mechanisms and forks, eliminating extra hardware that can easily be lost. Lockable front casters keep the lift stationary while in use. The 2416 weighs only 110.2kg (243lb) and
