SUBJ: Authorize Purchase aF Mobile Lift
This item consists c�E asking Counci.l to authorize use of �ome
excess GIP funds tn purchase a mobile hydraulic lif� far cars and
pickups. The ].ift is built by American UNIC with a Zifti,ng
eapacity of 5, 500 pounds . The pr.iae quote f:or this �iece of
equipment is 56,300 . Attached is a copy of a sales brochure and
price quote.
The r�ason for this request is that our existinq hoist is broken .
Cost estimates for repair of that hoist are between 55,000 anct
56, Od0 . In lieu of the uncertainty of the future location nf our
public works faeility, maintaining the most flexibility for the
future seems very reasanable. Besides, underground hoists are
becoming a liability because of Zeakage of hydraulic oil . Alsa
the portability of this unit is an important factor because of
oi.zr limited space in the Public Works garage.
We have tried one of these lifts out and found it to work very
well . Dean Sandstrom and Bab Barfnecht did some brainstorming
during that periad and came up with other uses for the lift. One
such use would be to make a simple �ig to use to mount snowplaws
and wings on the snowplowing equipment.
Our research inta this lifts inrli.cated that American UNIC is th�
only company we could find that makes a mobile iift. Otherwise
we wauld have had another quote far comparison.
Recommended action for cnuncil fi.o takp is to authorize the use of
Sf,, 300 of excess CIP funds to purchase a mobile lift.
