Bil-Jax lifts are designed, manufactured and tested to comply with current applicable
Federal OSHA and ANSI codes and regulations.
Damage Policy
There may be occasions when a Bil-Jax lift is involved in an incident that results in struc-
tural damage to the lift. This can seriously compromise the ability of the lift to perform in
a safe manner. Therefore, whenever a Bil-Jax lift is damaged structurally or when there is
the possibility of structural damage (this damage may be internal and is not always visi-
ble to the naked eye), Bil-Jax requires that the lift be returned to our facility at 125 Tay-
lor Parkway, Archbold, Ohio, for reconditioning. If you have any questions concerning
what constitutes structural damage, please call the Bil-Jax Service Department at
800-537-0540.
Damage Repair Notice
There may be occasions when a Bil-Jax lift is involved in an incident resulting in non-
structural damage. When this occurs and repairs are made by the owner or area distribu-
tor, please notify Bil-Jax of these non-maintenance repairs and request a repair form to
be filled out and returned to Bil-Jax.
