Mohawk ML-220 Two-Post Lift
20,000 lb Two-Post Heavy-Duty Vehicle Lift
20,000 LBS. CAPACITY
The Mohawk ML-220 is a true workhorse among above-ground lifts. Engineered for power and precision, this clear-floor lift is built to handle light- and medium-duty vehicles with capacities up to 20,000 lbs. Its rugged twin-cylinder, direct-drive design eliminates the need for chains, cables, pulleys, or equalizer bars— reducing wear and maintenance while delivering smooth, synchronized lifting every time.
Overview
Mohawk auto lifts are engineered for long-term performance in the most demanding service environments. Each lift features columns made from ¾-inch thick forklift masts , delivering unmatched strength and reliability over a lifetime of use. Unlike competitors that use plastic slide blocks, Mohawk’s carriages glide smoothly on eight double-sealed, self-lubricating steel ball bearing rollers —eliminating friction, wear, and the need for ongoing maintenance.
