Everything you need to make your decision
The CoachLift RV is a 15,000 lb 4-post drive-on platform lift built specifically for motorhomes and recreational vehicles — the Category that destroys ordinary shop lifts. Class A motorhomes on Freightliner or Spartan chassis, Class B and Class C units — the CoachLift handles all of them. The 240” runways accommodate the longest production motorhomes. 84” wide platform clears the overhang of slide-outs (retracted). Platform height of 42” gives full access to chassis components, drivetrain, and underbelly systems. Dual 220V power units with cable equalization prevent tilt under the rear-heavy weight distribution common in motorhomes. Approach ramps rated to 8,500 lbs per axle.

See this class of lift in action. The video below shows installation, real-world operation, and the kind of shop this lift belongs in.

RV and motorhome platform lifts are extended four-post systems designed for the length, width, and weight of Class A and Class C coaches. Drive-on operation with standard RV air brakes engaged.

Drive-On Loading

Extended runways (typically 22'–28') accommodate full-size motorhomes. Drive in straight, apply air or hand brakes, shut off the engine. The platform supports the full vehicle weight across the runway surface.

Power System

Three-phase or high-amperage single-phase electric-hydraulic system raises the platform. The control pendant is tethered and can be operated from outside the lift perimeter. Raise and lower with a single toggle.

Slide-Out Clearance

The runway width on most RV lifts is sized to allow partial slide-out extension at height for interior access. Check your model's clearance specs before extending slides on the lift.

Safety Locks

Heavy-duty safety latch bars engage in the lock ladder at each column. The RV's weight alone cannot disengage the locks. A single pneumatic release button disengages all columns simultaneously for lowering.

Note: Annual maintenance: inspect all lifting cables or chains, hydraulic fluid level, and lock engagement once per year. Replace lifting cables at the manufacturer's recommended interval regardless of visible wear.

⚙️ Heavy-Duty Position Locks

Safety latch bars in each column engage at every lift position. The RV's weight alone cannot dislodge the latches — they require a positive pneumatic or manual release to retract before the platform can be lowered.

🔗 Extended-Length Cable Redundancy

Four cables, each individually rated above the full lift capacity, run the length of the column. Should any cable develop slack or break, a slack-detection system halts the lift immediately.

📐 Leveling Indicators

Column-mounted level indicators show relative height on each post during lift. If a column gets ahead by more than 1/2", the operator can see it immediately and stop to investigate before a tilt becomes dangerous.

🛡️ Runway End Stops

Heavy steel bumper stops at both runway ends prevent the vehicle from rolling off the platform at any height. For RVs with weak air brakes, always chock the tires on the runways before raising.

How does this compare?

RV chassis service is fundamentally different from passenger vehicles. The overhang, weight distribution, and wheelbase make standard lifts a liability. The CoachLift is designed around actual RV chassis specs — 240” runways cover everything from a Class C on a Ford E-350 to a 45’ Class A diesel pusher. The equalization system handles the rear-heavy weight distribution that comes standard with a slide-out coach.
