September 30, 2015 – Handy’s new Big Utility Lift (B.U.L.) boasts a small footprint, but big capacity! The beef of the Handy lineup, the B.U.L. can handle a 2,500-pound capacity and offers the option of loading from either end, making it ideal for servicing utility vehicles (UTVs).
“When we brought the lift to members of the industry for field testing, the most common response was that they were impressed with the amount of stability in a small footprint,” said designer Brad Rozendaal.
Dual detent bars work to ensure superior stability while 4 adjustable support bars with anti-skid rubber pads provide peace of mind for lifting wide loads. The B.U.L. rises to a maximum working height of 39 inches and has 4 stopping points, so you pick the height that’s best for your job. Storage is a breeze with this compact unit, with a minimum height of 9.5 inches and weight of 500 pounds.
A sliding oil pan is mounted under the lift top, which boasts a 27-inch-wide working surface. The framework is textured black powder coating for added durability, so the B.U.L. looks good conquering every job. To preserve finished shop floors, the B.U.L. features 4 phenolic wheels with serviceable roller bearings. No air cylinder maintenance is necessary with the B.U.L., as it operates with an air bellows which requires zero maintenance.
As with all Handy products, the B.U.L. is proudly made in the USA. For more information, visit www.handyindustries.com.
