There needs to be a minimum height of 180mm (7”) from the bottom of the lowest box to the ground. (NB: This assumes you're using a deep brood box, which is 245mm / 9⅝" tall.)

For safe and effective use of the Super Lifter, we recommend a maximum height of 70cm / 27½" from the ground to the base of your (deep) brood box.

This ensures stability and ease of lifting while reducing strain on both you and your hive. If your hive is set higher, consider lowering it to a more manageable height, or building a sturdy higher base for the leg of your Super Lifter to rest on.
