Hazard

Furthermore, there are unprotected hoses, therefore any sudden loss of hydraulic pressure will lead to a very rapid descent of vehicle lift. All this could lead to persons near the lift being crushed by the lift and any vehicle it is supporting.The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive.
