Powered Scissor Lift Aluminum Alloy

The Powered Scissor Lift in Aluminum Alloy (Model HD-1000-AA) is the lightweight powered cadaver lift in the AME line — 1,000 lb working capacity, aluminum alloy frame for weight reduction without sacrificing structural rating. Built for funeral homes, hospital morgues, and mobile case-recovery teams where lift maneuverability and operator-handled positioning matter as much as raw lifting capacity.

Where it fits in the lift line

The aluminum alloy variant is the maneuverability-focused powered lift. For multi-directional case positioning at the same capacity, see the HD 1000 MAX with Multi-Directional Top. For manual hydraulic operation, see the 1,000-lb Hydraulic Scissor Lift. Full catalog: racks and lifts.

Why aluminum alloy

Standard steel-frame powered lifts at 1,000 lb capacity carry significant base weight — the lift itself can weigh 300–400 lb empty. The aluminum alloy frame cuts base weight materially without compromising the working load rating, which matters for: single-operator workflow in tight prep rooms, multi-floor facility transport (elevator weight limits), mobile case-recovery teams loading lifts in and out of vehicles, and disaster-response staging where lifts move repeatedly.
