[VIDEO] Hy-Brid Lifts LeakGuard Provides Rental Centers New Revenue Opportunity

LeakGuard fluid containment system eliminates the need for diapers on lifts and provides another revenue opportunity for rental businesses.

February 11, 2020

Hy-Brid Lifts has integrated the LeakGuard fluid containment system on its new Pro Series scissors lifts, eliminating the need for diapers often requested by rental customers.

LeakGuard prevents hydraulic leaks from dripping on the ground or on internal components. The system consists of a pan and a pad. The LeakGuard tray is capable of 110% capacity of all fluid on board.

Terry Dolan, president and CEO of Hy-Brid Lifts, suggests rental centers use the new LeakGuard system as a new revenue opportunity. He suggests rental company's rent the LeakGuard pan with the lift and sell the pad to the customer.
