The new model offers an extra-large true level ride aluminum platform with a galvanized mainframe, the company said. The WFL series is designed for ease of installation, as well as a lower cost of maintenance and operation, which can translate to a higher return on investment.

  • Fully assembled and bolt on design for faster and easier install
  • Folding parallel arm, simple bolt and shim design
  • Dedicated ground cable
  • Tank preloaded with oil reduces install time

Standard features of the WFL series include:

  • 96-inch wide version 67 inches deep by 88 inches wide
