9,000 lb Two-Post Symmetric Floor Plate Auto Lift

Features:

• 9,000 lb. lifting capacity
• Floor plate, Symmetric design
• Dual cylinders with low friction chain rollers
• Low profile automatic arm restraints
• 1 1/2" and 5" stackable drop-in height adapters
• Durable powder coated paint finish
• Free mounting hardware
• The 9,000 LB 2 post lifts are not designed to be used to pick up full size or larger, extended cab or quad cab trucks or sport utility vehicles
• This is not due to the lifting capacity it is due to the location of the pick up points. The fuel tanks on these trucks are situated so that the adapters are unable to grab the vehicle correctly, causing the arm to be placed too far forward. The vehicle is then unbalanced causing the arm to kick out, which could then cause a lift failure and/or a possible safety hazard. Many of our customers have used these lifts without incident, however these are placed in businesses with experienced, qualified technicians. Again, it is the placement of the arms on these vehicles that creates the issue, not the capacity of the lift
• To lift a half ton, extended wheel base vehicle with the TP9K series you may do so with the symmetric arms on the lift ~ The FLOOR PLATE lift comes standard with Symmetric arms
• If you require a versatile lift to be used across the board to pick up cars, trucks and sport utility vehicles with extended wheel bases the 11,000 LB 2 post direct drive (VTP11KD or 11D-3) lift would be the best overall lift for this application. The arm restraints that come on our two post lifts are for the purpose of holding the arm in place until it makes contact with the vehicle. They are not to be relied upon to hold a miss position in place
• **THIS LIFT IS TOO HEAVY FOR LIFT GATE DELIVERY. CUSTOMER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OFF LOADING FROM THE DELIVERY TRUCK**
