Start with the heaviest load you carry regularly. Up to 380 lbs, the SAL Pro is lighter and quicker to move between jobs. For heavier equipment, up to 800 lbs, choose the HD Pro. If you install cabinets, the Cabinet Pro adds a lifting attachment that raises the cabinet to install height.
They are frame options on the same drive. UNI and ERGO have fixed frames. FOLD and FOLD-L fold down to fit a smaller vehicle, and the L versions are taller for long loads. The comparison table above lists the height and weight of each one.
