Cindy,

Our freight lift is rated for 2,000 lbs., but is not one that we can ride down with artifacts because it's an open lift platform. I will also add that there have been times where I didn't think it was anywhere near 2,000 lbs. and it wouldn't come back up from the storage area to my loading dock until I pulled some weight off of it. It's back to working order so we chocked it up to a fluke with the cabinets that were on it, but we're keeping a watchful eye on it just in case.
