11 Benefits of Using Versa Lifts
What are Versa Lifts?
Versa Lifts have been designed and manufactured especially for safely moving heavy equipment and machinery.
This type of moving equipment is a specialised forklift whereby the frame of the machine extends. This is done so as to give you greater lifting capacity.
What benefits do Versa Lifts give you?
These machine movers are ideal for:
- Moving machinery in tight spaces
- Heavy lifting duties – such as moving shipping containers
- Moving small machines
- As heavy-duty forklifts
- Come with Forklift Boom attachments – for full lifts at height
- Have a Direct lift mast – which allows lifting without chains
- Removeable counterweights – to spread the lifting weight and to prevent tipping
- Extendable frame – to increase lifting capacity
- Have a 2-power transmission – to give the power needed to lift heavy equipment
- Are only 1.8 metres wide
- Many more similar applications and uses

These being the:
Versa Lift 25/35
Our Versa 25/35 is a 16-ton lift, usually used for lifting small CNC machines and is ideal for when space is at a premium.
This lifting machine is ideal for lifting loads in tight quarters, and our 25/35 Model can handle loads of 24,000 pounds with the base retracted – or up to 34,500 pounds with the base extended. As a result, this machine is ideal for getting into congested areas that other machines can’t reach.
Our staff are qualified to operate this moving equipment.

Environmentally friendly equipment
Both our variations of Versa Lifts are both powered by LPG gas. This makes them both environmentally friendly, and means standard exhaust gases aren’t used in confined environments such as factories and warehouses which need to stay clean and sterile.
