Quality Features
Hydraulic System
The closed hydraulic system protects against outside contaminants and moisture. The lockable steel pump enclosure protects components from damage by impact, debris, and weather. Hingeless lid design eliminates corroded hinge problems.
Service-Free Bushings - An Anthony First
Used at critical pivot points, these bushings extend pin and arm life, while eliminating routine lubrication and increasing resale value.
Marine-Duty Control Switch
This switch operates reliably under all types of weather conditions. Heat-shrink wire connections and stainless steel terminal fasteners provide extra corrosion protection, thus providing uninterrupted service in harsh weather climates.
E-Z Mount Installation
All Anthony AST models are factory assembled, tested, and energized to assure the highest quality performance standards. They ship completely assembled on skids for fast, clean, easy installation; and Anthony's pre-notched center mark template ensures accurate placement of the floor extension and precise spacing for all welds. E-Z Mount installations provide the fastest installation times of any available models.
Positive Electrical Connections
Anthony's heat-shrink siliconed wire connections seal out moisture. Anti-rotation terminals insure rugged circuit protection, and stainless steel fasteners resist corrosion.
Low Operating Pressure, Larger-Bore Hydraulic Cylinder
The double-weight hydraulic cylinder allows operation at a lower pressure to increase the life of the entire hydraulic system, batteries, and electrical components. The chrome-plated piston rod, piston cylinder wear rings, and adjustable gland packing nut further extend Service-Free operation.
Anthony Exclusive, ZLC - Zero Leak Concept
The use of machined fittings, SAE "O" ring and JIC hydraulic connections, along with factory installed -70º low pour hydraulic fluid, mean you'll have long, trouble-free service with no aggravating and costly leaks.

Chrome Plated Piston Rod
Keeps exposed surface free from rust and contamination to protect seals and extend cylinder life.
Piston Cylinder Wear Rings
Prevent scoring by maintaining piston/cylinder wall tolerances.
Adjustable Gland Packing Nut on Cylinder
Allows adjustment of piston rod seal, extending life of the seal.
Relief Valve
Prevents overloading during lifting cycle.
Factory Installed Hydraulic Fluid
Prevents contamination during installation with proper hydraulic fluid.
Low Operating Pressure
Extends service life of power unit, hoses, cylinder seals and battery.
3/16" Formed Diamond Tread Floor Extension
Provides rugged and attractive surface.
Platform Roller Wheel Opener
Prevents metal-on-metal damage and provides smooth folding and unfolding.
Spring-Assist Platform

Heavy-Duty Sandwiched Hinge Plate
Maintains platform stability under heavy load conditions.
Powder Coated Finish
Provides attractive, long-life protective finish.
Exclusive 3 + 2 Warranty
Three years on mechanical components, two years on hydraulic system, parts and labor.
Circuit Breaker
Protects truck wiring and power system in the event of a "dead short".
Yellow Di-Chromate Plated Pins
Used at all pivot points, these pins provide long-life protection from rust, road salt, and moisture.
