Under the main \u003cstrong\u003e12,000 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e platform sits an auxiliary scissor rated at \u003cstrong\u003e9,000 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e, with its own \u003cstrong\u003e16 1\/2″\u003c\/strong\u003e of travel and a runway that adjusts from \u003cstrong\u003e63″\u003c\/strong\u003e to \u003cstrong\u003e74″\u003c\/strong\u003e. Raise it and every wheel comes off the deck — brakes, tyres, suspension and alignment work all happen with the vehicle supported at the frame and the corners free.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat is the difference between a rack you align on and a rack you also work on. Without it, a wheels-free job means rolling a separate jack into the bay, positioning it under a vehicle that is already in the air, and finding somewhere to store it the rest of the week.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat Wheels-Free Actually Buys You\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA brake job on a fixed runway means jacking each corner in turn. A suspension inspection means the geometry is loaded, so worn bushings and ball joints hide. Alignment prep means checking for play that a loaded wheel will not show you.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe auxiliary platform removes all three problems at once. It lifts within the main deck, so the vehicle never leaves the rack and never has to be repositioned. \u003cstrong\u003e9,000 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e of secondary capacity is enough for the same vehicles the main \u003cstrong\u003e12,000 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e platform is carrying, and the \u003cstrong\u003e63″\u003c\/strong\u003e to \u003cstrong\u003e74″\u003c\/strong\u003e adjustment means the pads land on the lift points of a narrow car and a wide truck alike rather than on whatever is closest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe Safety Stop at 11 3\/4″\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost lift safety features protect the vehicle. This one protects the person walking past it. Coming down, the DX-12A stops at \u003cstrong\u003e11 3\/4″\u003c\/strong\u003e and will not continue to the floor unless \u003cstrong\u003eboth\u003c\/strong\u003e control buttons are held, with an audible tone sounding throughout the final descent.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe reasoning is worth spelling out, because it is the height at which a lowering platform is genuinely dangerous: low enough that a technician is no longer thinking about it, high enough to trap a foot, a toolbox or a creeper. Requiring two hands puts the operator's hands demonstrably on the controls rather than near the vehicle, and the tone tells everyone else in the bay what is happening. It is a deliberate design decision, not a convenience feature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe Parts That Wear, and What They Are Made Of\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eScissor lifts do not usually fail at the cylinder. They get sloppy at the sliders and the pivot bushings, and once there is play in those the platform no longer settles the same way twice — which on an alignment rack shows up as readings you stop trusting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAMGO builds this one with \u003cstrong\u003eself-lubricating UHMW polyethylene sliders and bronze bushings\u003c\/strong\u003e. Self-lubricating means there is no grease schedule to forget on the surfaces that take the sliding load, and UHMW polyethylene is chosen for exactly that job: low friction, high abrasion resistance, quiet under load. Bronze bushings at the pivots do the same work at the points that see rotation rather than sliding. Neither is the low-cost way to build a scissor, and both are visible in the specification rather than buried.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe synchronisation cylinders are equipped with \u003cstrong\u003ehose burst valves\u003c\/strong\u003e — if a hydraulic line lets go, the valve closes and the platform stays where it is rather than descending with the pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloor length.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e257″\u003c\/strong\u003e overall including the ramps, with a runway length of \u003cstrong\u003e196 1\/2″\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Some shop insurers, some fleet contracts and some local jurisdictions require a lift to hold a third-party safety listing from a recognised North American body before they will insure it or sign it off. If you are in one of those situations, ask whoever imposes the requirement to name the listing in writing, and then speak to us before you order so we can check the position for this model with AMGO.
