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?

Fact of the week
Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
