The NEXT Generation of Lifts

The military inspired Z-lift was historically designed for use by the U.S. Border Patrol. Its objective and design was to lift surveillance, radar and lighting equipment over desert foliage, hills, buildings and crowds. On a documentary featured on the Discovery Channel, the Z-Lift was considered part of the U.S. Border Patrol high tech solutions to border smuggling control.

Listed are some of its unmatched returned value advantages:

•NO down time due to maintenance of special (PM) preventive maintenance.
•Its effetiveness to resist high winds due to its narrow and smooth geometry. This minimizes the use of any stabilization assistance.
•NO dedicated vehicle requirements.
•NO special agent training and/or dedication.
•Stow position - Auto-Lock. Keeps the lift hydraulically locked when fully retracted. No clanking or banging while vehicle is in motion.
•Rigidity is increased as the lift extends. This is useful when viewing objects outside the camera objective.
•Compact, reliable, low maintenance heavy duty sealed hydraulic system.

•No cables, winches or compressors to deal with.
