Russ,
It's a Werther assymetrical 2 post screw type lift, actually 2 of them.
Electrical/Mechanical. They are screw driven off one 4 HP 3 phase motor. The
motor sits on top of one post and runs that screw. A driveshaft arrangement
though a raised floor panel runs the other side. The Phase converter
manufacturers say it will take a 7.5 HP rotory converter ($600) to run it,
but Werther says other people have tried it and it doesn't work. I can't see
why it wouldn't work, but I don't want to go out and throuw good money after
bad. The lifts were cheap ($850), so the total price is very attractive
compared to a new lift of the same capacity and features.
Bob
