The stream is powerful enough to lift vehicles, such as the [[M274 Mongoose|Mongoose]], as well as other moderately heavy objects. | Once deployed, the portable gravity lift unfolds and projects a bluish-purple stream of gas and energy that propels personnel into the air.

To the untrained eye one would suppose that a player just [[Explosive Jumping|grenade jumped]], but there was a pad on the floor that was radiating a blue light similar to the [[man cannon]]. It is another piece of equipment similar to the [[Z-4190 bubble shield|bubble shield]], [[power drain]], [[TR/9 trip mine|trip mine]], and [[radar jammer]]. | ||
