The PRO-12SX holds its load on mechanical self-locking safety devices, and those locks are released \u003cstrong\u003epneumatically, from one control\u003c\/strong\u003e — better than walking the lift and knocking four locks off by hand, but it means a compressed air line has to reach it. Worth knowing before installation day rather than during it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAround that sit the figures a buyer plans with, and these are not disputed: the runways come down to \u003cstrong\u003e6 5\/8″\u003c\/strong\u003e, so a low car reaches the ramp without catching; there is \u003cstrong\u003e68 1\/2″\u003c\/strong\u003e underneath at full rise, the locks holding at \u003cstrong\u003e65 3\/8″\u003c\/strong\u003e; and the drive-through opening is \u003cstrong\u003e104 3\/16″\u003c\/strong\u003e. The platforms adjust steplessly rather than in notches — though the numbers printed for that adjustment are a separate matter, dealt with next.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTwo runway figures you should not order against, and three more in dispute\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eTake the impossible one first. The minimum this page lists for the width between the runways is a single-digit measurement, smaller than a hand span — nothing about a 12,000 lb four-post can be spaced that way, and the same defect shows up on AMGO's other four-post models, which points at a dropped leading digit. The minimum given for the outside edge of the runways is barely wider than the gap printed between them, the same problem in a second row. Both are labelled doubtful below rather than silently repaired: a figure invented by us would be worse than a visibly broken one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfirm the runway spacing with us in writing before you order a rolling or bridge jack, a drip tray or any accessory that sits between the runways or straddles them.\u003c\/strong\u003e Those purchases are made against exactly these two numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree further disagreements are with AMGO rather than with arithmetic. The maker publishes a lighter gross weight than the figure shown here, and names dimension B differently — we call that letter an overall length without ramps, the maker the outside edge of the crossbeams. Then the motor: the spec row rendered here holds a supply voltage where a power rating belongs, while the sheet under it gives a horsepower, as does the maker. Those are not two readings of one fact, so both appear below and neither is presented as the rating. \u003cstrong\u003eConfirm the motor rating and the supply with us in writing before you have a circuit run.\u003c\/strong\u003e Neither side is called wrong; our figures have been copied unchanged for years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eMeasure your bay against these before ordering.

Stepless adjustment means the platforms stop wherever you leave them, which matters at the extremes: a narrow car wants the runways in far enough that the tyres sit inside the edges, a wide truck wants them out far enough that the wheels are not riding the lips. Centring a tyre is not cosmetic — it keeps the load where the designers assumed. The platforms are non-skid diamond plate, which counts on a lift you drive onto and walk on.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eLayered safety rather than a single lock\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree systems back each other up. First, the primary multiple safety locks, mechanical and self-engaging, so the lift rests on steel rather than hydraulic pressure. Second, cable-slack protection, which reacts if a cable goes loose — the failure mode that matters on a cable-driven four-post. Third, the hydraulic cylinder, with high-quality oil seals and a compensation valve, making lowering a controlled descent rather than a drop. Drive is by aircraft-standard cable, which on a four-post carries the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMixed fleets and dually trucks\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the spacing that suits one vehicle is wrong for the next.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStorage and stacking\u003c\/strong\u003e in a garage with the ceiling for it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eService shops\u003c\/strong\u003e doing brake, exhaust, tyre and undercarriage work where driving on beats arms.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLong projects\u003c\/strong\u003e, where a vehicle sits for weeks on mechanical locks, not jack stands.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the crate\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFour columns and two non-skid diamond platforms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDrive-on ramps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAMGO ETL certified power unit, standard not optional\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMechanical self-locking safety device with air-driven lock release\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrimary multiple safety locks and cable-slack protection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAircraft-standard drive cables and the hydraulic cylinder with compensation valve\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot supplied: anchors are specified in the manual, and the electrical circuit, air line and slab work are yours.

Four columns, two runways and a set of ramps make a long, awkward load, and taking it off the trailer is the receiver's job: a forklift able to handle a runway crate, or a collection from the carrier's terminal.
