Golf Lift Turf Equipment Lift Available at Burris Equipment

As turf equipment continues to grow in size and complexity, service teams need a lift that can safely handle heavy mowers, utility vehicles, and maintenance equipment. The GL-9 Golf Lift Turf Equipment Lift is engineered for today’s demanding turf environments, offering full-rise access, impressive lifting capacity, and industry-leading safety features. 

At Burris Equipment, we provide the GL-9 along with sales, support, and technical expertise across our Illinois locations. We also proudly assist turf professionals in Northern Illinois, Northwestern Indiana, and Southern Wisconsin looking to modernize their maintenance operations.

A Turf Lift Designed for Real Maintenance Work

The GL-9 Golf Lift Turf Equipment Lift stands at the center of Golf Lift’s lineup for one reason: it solves the core challenges turf technicians face every day. With its 9,000-lb lifting capacity and 72″ full-rise height, it allows complete under-machine access. This is something traditional jacks and pit setups simply can’t match. Its design accommodates everything from compact walkers to large rough mowers, all while keeping operators safe and comfortable.

This lift is built specifically for turf-care environments, making it uniquely suited for golf courses, municipal grounds, sports complexes, and private maintenance facilities.
