Specifications apply to lifters using Wood's Powr-Grip hand cups, as indicated. If another hand cup is used, consult the
manufacturer for specifications. The maximum structural capacity of these lifters is 300 lbs [135 kg], regardless of capacity
ratings for any hand cups that may be installed.

The Per-Pad Load Capacity does not apply to the vacuum pad on the Adjustable Center Arm, because it does not contribute to
the lifter's Maximum Load Capacity. In addition, capacities calculated from the Per-Pad Load Capacity may not exceed the
Maximum Load Capacities listed above.
