Tool Lift for equipment and personnel

[Comalco4874]

Hi All
I am currently examining a tool lift (approx 400 kgs) for carrying plant equipment only or both equipment and personnel for our material handling plant.
Will some one please advise me about your experience in the selection and installation of such tool lifts, which ones did you use and why ?
Will some one please share his or her experience in the use of a rack and pinion system over a hydraulic and vice versa in a tool lift ?
Will some one share with your experience in suing AIMAK SE Series Rack and Pinion Lift ? Given another option which one would you have gone for ?

Regards

hydrolic sys will leak oil on te floor, and mechanical can lock up if not kept free dirt

WE went back to a walk behind fork lift because of the versiltility of the unit, it helps keep our capital costs down

Dear SBI
Could you please clarify. I am not sure if you said that you used any of the lift as both mechanical and hydraulic lifts were not good to your opinion. Forklift will not suffice our need for 20 meter high structure.
