E.A.G.L.E. Lift Owner Guide
The EAGLE Lift is designed to be a tool that makes your job easier! However, you must take the time
to learn its features and how to safely use it. Please read this instruction guide carefully
before assembling and using the EAGLE Lift. For questions call 916-714-7717 or visit
IMPORTANT:
Do not attempt to use lift before securing to a dumpster!
Do not remove the zip tie from the Lift Arm before assembly is complete!
The EAGLE Lift is designed to help empty 32, 44 and Toter brand 64 gallon trash containers, like those
commonly used in cafeterias, into dumpsters that have a 90 degree vertical side with a threshold
maximum height of 57 inches and width of 4 inches.
Warning:
Temperatures below -30 degrees will damage spring seals.
Features:
●
Can receiver is designed to securely hold and stabilize 32- and 44-gallon rolling garbage containers (and
now the 64 gallon Toter square cans) during a EAGLE Lift dump cycle. The Lift is designed to allow the trash
containers to roll safely into the receiver without ever having to lift the container.
●
Can retainer is a three-pronged mechanism that secures both the upper and lower parts of the the
trash container in the receiver during the dump cycle. The three-pronged arm is what allows the operator to
conveniently stabilize and secure the trash container during a lift cycle and opens and closes on a manually-
operated spring mechanism. ( The adjustable prong must be properly adjusted to the height of the container
you are using. Be sure the prong is aligned with the flat spot to prevent swinging around interfering with the
dump cycle. For using the Square containers it may be necessary to remove adjustable prong.
●
Dumpster attachment hook secures the EAGLE Lift to the side of any dumpster that meets the
dimensions specified above. The hook is provided with hand knob to LOCK the hook in place when using the
Eagle Lift as a dolly and for locking the hook after it is dropped over the dumpster side. This provides added
stability to the lift. Be sure the Hook stays down doesn’t walk up during multiple uses.
●
Lift handle is the mechanism that the operator will use to initiate the lift-and-dump cycle. It is also one of
the four “grab points” for lowering the mechanism at the end of the cycle.
●
Lift handle safety release is designed to prevent the lift handle from being raised when the EAGLE Lift
is not attached to a dumpster.
o
If the lift handle is raised while the EAGLE Lift is not attached to a dumpster, the safest way to lower
it again is to raise the entire EAGLE Lift and attach the attachment hook over the side of a dumpster
BEFORE attempting to lower the device back down. This will take two people
The EAGLE Lift may be used as a dolly to transport the trash container from its location to the dumpster, or it
can remain attached to the dumpster to be used solely to dump trash. Wheels should remain locked when
stationed at dumpster for stability
●
Lower Stabilizer Bar rests against the dumpster and stabilizes the EAGLE Lift during the dump cycle. If
you have a dumpster that does not have a vertical face it may be necessary to add a spacer to the stabilizer bar
so it will rest properly against the dumpster side you are using.
The EAGLE Lift includes a
chain loop
that you can use to secure the
EAGLE Lift to the dumpster in order to prevent theft. Use the chain to lock the lift in the closed position when not
attached to the dumpster for added safety.
o
Do not leave your EAGLE Lift unattended or out overnight.
.
There are four convenient grab points designed to make lowering the device back to the ground safe and easy after
the trash contents have been emptied. See training video at Lifelineliftco.com
