What happens here

To demonstrate the lift gate's capacity, an Exmark 48-inch lawnmower is loaded onto the platform. The platform is then raised, showcasing its ability to lift significantly heavy equipment. Despite the mower being too wide to fully fit on the platform, the lift gate successfully raises it, indicating strong hydraulics and lifting capability. This demonstrates its potential for hauling various types of landscaping or construction equipment that might otherwise require a trailer.

Goal: Test the Liftgator's lifting capacity with a large, heavy lawnmower.

  • Exmark 48-inch Lawnmower Exmark — Testing the lifting capacity of the lift gate
  • Liftgator Unit Liftgator — Lifting the heavy lawnmower
