Ohio Lift

Preview Lift Pass is $1.95 a month or $19.50 a year. Free during preview: nothing is charged and no card is asked for. What it adds

For warehouses, shops, stages and loading docks

Check the lift before you lift.

Three numbers-first checks for the people who move heavy things: a box lifted by hand, a load on a forklift's forks, a load hung from a sling. Every answer shows its working and the one change that helps most.

Where the weight sits, and the angle it hangs at, change what is safe.

Plain about what this is

Ohio Lift is a planning aid built from published, public methods (sources on the About page). It is not an inspection, a certification, operator training or an engineering approval, and it is not a government site. The equipment's data plate and tags, the maker's charts, and a qualified person on site always decide.
