It lifts capacity weight with no problem as long as you rev the engine- the engine doesn't bog or miss, etc?

Having to rev the engine on newer units to lift any weight at all is common- older lifts had a different style of hyd. system which would easily lift weight at idle- now this is not the case.

As far as having trouble climbing a grade, I assume the engine is accelerating but the unit fails to move? If this is correct- does it have trouble in both forward & reverse?

In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
