"Safety Lift" For High Clearance Sprayers
“Our new lift for high-clearance sprayers works great for changing tires and doing other maintenance work. It’s the safest jack system on the market for sprayers,” says Dan Waldner, RockPort Welding, Magrath, Alta.
  The sprayer lift is designed to operate off tractor hydraulics and is equipped with slots for a forklift or front-end loader. Or, optional wheels can be attached to roll the unit around your shop floor. It has a lift capacity of 36,000 lbs.
  Hydraulic cylinders are used to raise or lower a pair of telescoping tubes that lift the entire front end or back end of the sprayer, allowing you to change 2 tires at a time. Once the sprayer is fully raised you install a steel pin through each tube.
  “Changing the tires on a high clearance sprayer can be a dangerous job,” says Waldner. “With bottle jacks and blocks you’re lifting only one side of the sprayer, and changing only one tire at a time. Our sprayer lift is much more stable and it lets you change two tires.”
  A bolt-on kit is available for Deere 4940 high clearance sprayers. It fits the sprayer’s front end and provides 4 lift points. Also optional is an air bag kit that attaches to the sprayer’s air bag cylinders.
  The sprayer lift can be ordered in any color, and custom designs are available for most sprayer brands.
  It sells for $2,000 to $2,300 depending on options.
