Equipment Lift Upgarde

Golf Lift GL-9
Above is a upgrade made to the maintenance shop this summer. The previous lift that we used to work on equipment lifted from one side. To get some of our bigger equipment (fairway mowers) on the lift, we needed a safer alternative to the single side lift. Enter the Golf Lift. The staff researched our options and spoke with plenty of other equipment technicians and found that this lift has served plenty of other facilities well.
Because of the nature of reel mowers, it is necessary to adjust them often and it requires much more maintenance than a typical rotary blade that would be found in a homeowners lawnmower. The trade off is that you are able to cut at much lower heights with a much better quality of cut. Actually, if adjusted properly a reel mower will "cut" the grass while a rotary mower actually rips the grass. The previous is ideal for turf that is subjected to the wear and tear of a golf season.
Above you see that the new lift might be making David Miller a little too comfortable:)
