Reechcraft PowerLift (PL-X Series)
The Reechcraft Reach Solutions PowerLift™ is a compact, push-around vertical lift engineered for safe, fast, and precise access in indoor environments. Designed as a smarter alternative to ladders and scaffolding, the PowerLift allows a single operator to reach working heights up to 26 ft (7.9 m) depending on the model—while maintaining exceptional stability and control.
Powered by a standard corded or cordless drill (not included), the PowerLift features a gear-drive system with an integrated overspeed brake, ensuring smooth lifting and enhanced operator safety. Its compact footprint allows access in tight spaces, while automatic or adjustable stabilization systems provide confidence at height. Ideal for maintenance, electrical, HVAC, lighting, installation, and facility work where speed and safety matter most
Which Model Should You Choose?
Choosing the right PowerLift depends on your required working height, floor conditions, and jobsite layout.
-
PowerLift PL-X4 – Best for quick, low-height indoor tasks such as lighting, signage, or maintenance where speed and compact access matter most.
-
PowerLift PL-X8 – Ideal for facility maintenance, electrical, and HVAC work needing moderate reach with maximum maneuverability.
-
PowerLift PL-X12 – A versatile mid-range option for contractors who need additional height without increasing footprint or setup time.
-
PowerLift PL-X16 – Designed for taller indoor work areas and uneven floors, featuring an adjustable outrigger base for enhanced stability.
-
PowerLift PL-X20 – The right choice for maximum indoor reach when working in warehouses, auditoriums, gyms, or large commercial spaces.
-
PowerLift PL-XM (Modular System) – Best for complex environments requiring custom base configurations, stair access, or work over obstacles like seating or equipment.
If you’re unsure which model fits your application, choosing based on maximum required working height and floor conditions is the best starting point.
