“By teaming with ALI’s vehicle lift certification program, MIT can assure our customers that our products meet the highest manufacturing and safety requirements,” said Sam Fielden, vice president of MIT Automobile.

The four new models are the ML-4030BC (66,000-pound capacity), ML-4034BC (74,000-pound capacity), ML-6045BC (99,000-pound capacity) and ML-6051BC (111,000-pound capacity). All models are 24-volt battery powered and include as standard features a fast charge mode, deep cell gel industrial batteries, movable wheel adapters, powder coated paint and LED display with self-diagnostic capabilities.

“The stringent manufacturing, safety and quality control criteria required by the ALI program called for a very diligent team effort by the Maxima Brand Lift Design Group,” Fielden said. “Our entire factory team was put to the test to meet our goal of certification compliance.”
