There is no plate, no channel and no hydraulic crossover running across the ground between the columns, so the floor under the vehicle is exactly as flat as your slab. That is the feature to weigh first, because it is the one you live with daily: a transmission jack rolls straight through, a creeper does not catch, an oil drain sits where you want it, and there is no ridge collecting grit that eventually has to be cleaned out. On a lift rated at 12,000 lbs - which puts full-size pickups, vans and heavy SUVs comfortably inside its range - that unobstructed floor is what makes the space under the vehicle genuinely usable rather than merely accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePower comes from a 4.0 HP motor on a 220V single-phase supply, driving the carriages directly. Direct drive means fewer intermediate parts between the power unit and the load: fewer things to adjust, fewer things to wear, and less of the vagueness that creeps into a lift as its linkages age.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree of these are yours to confirm before ordering, and on the fourth we would rather tell you what we do not know than print a number we cannot stand behind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePower.\u003c\/strong\u003e 220V single phase, on a dedicated circuit installed before the lift is stood up. This is electrician work, not an extension lead.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eConcrete.\u003c\/strong\u003e A two-post lift transfers its entire load into two anchor patterns. The slab must be sound, level, unbroken and thick enough for the anchors specified in the installation manual, with no expansion joint or crack under either column. If nobody knows what your slab is, core it before you buy. This is the owner's responsibility and it is the usual reason an install stops on the day.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHeight under the vehicle.\u003c\/strong\u003e The lift raises to 70.87 in (1,800 mm) at the top of the pad, which is 67 in of rise measured under the arms. Add your own tallest vehicle's height to that before you look at your ceiling.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOverall height, width and drive-through: ask us.\u003c\/strong\u003e Katool's published data for this model records those three figures without units, and we are not going to guess whether a number means inches or something else on a page that helps someone decide where a 12,000 lb lift goes. Ask before you order and we will get them confirmed in writing.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eLow enough to drive over\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt its lowest the lift comes down to 4.25 in (110 mm), with a minimum pad height of 4 in. That matters more than it looks. A two-post that will not go low enough forces a low car up on ramps before the arms can be swung underneath, which is a two-person job and an invitation to scrape a front spoiler. Four and a quarter inches is low enough that most cars drive straight over the arms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe lock release, and asymmetric arms\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe carriages ride on mechanical locks that engage as the lift climbs, so a raised vehicle sits on steel rather than on hydraulic pressure. A single-point release unlocks the lift from one position instead of asking the operator to walk around a loaded lift releasing one column and then the other - which is both slower and, with a vehicle in the air, a worse idea. The arm design is asymmetric, so the vehicle sits back between the posts and its doors clear the columns. If your work involves getting in and out of the cabin - interiors, glass, electrical diagnosis - that geometry saves time on every single job.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBuilt for a working day, not a demonstration\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eColumns, arms and base are high-strength steel, and the lift weighs 1,369 lbs in its own right, which is a fair indicator of how much steel is in it. Reinforcement is concentrated where a two-post lift is actually stressed: at the carriage-to-column interface and at the arm pivots, which are the joints that take the moment when a load is not perfectly centred. Direct drive keeps strain off the moving parts by removing a set of them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMaintenance that keeps it honest\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe routine is short and it is not optional: check the cables and the lock mechanism, look over the hydraulic lines and fittings for weeping, keep the carriage slides and arm pivots greased, and have the anchors and the lift itself inspected on the schedule the manual sets. A two-post lift that is maintained is a lift that behaves identically on its thousandth cycle and its first.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGeneral repair shops\u003c\/strong\u003e whose intake runs from small cars up to three-quarter-ton pickups.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFleet and municipal workshops\u003c\/strong\u003e where the vehicles are heavy and the bay is in use all day.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTire, brake, exhaust and suspension work\u003c\/strong\u003e, where clear-floor access is the difference between comfortable and awkward.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWell-equipped home garages\u003c\/strong\u003e with the ceiling height, the slab and a 220V supply already in place.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLifting capacity\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e12,000 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum lifting height, top of pad\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e70.87 in (1,800 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum rise under the arms\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e67 in\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMinimum lifting height\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e4.25 in (110 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMinimum pad height\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e4 in\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNet weight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1,369 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMotor\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e4.0 HP\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower supply\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e220V, single phase\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eClear floor, asymmetric arms, direct drive\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLock release\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSingle point\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eApprovals, stated plainly\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe data Katool supplies for the KT-AM120SD does not carry a third-party lift safety listing, and we will not badge this page with one it does not claim. For a home garage and for many independent shops that never becomes an issue. It becomes one where an insurance policy, a fleet standard or a local code names a specific listing document for vehicle lifts - and if that is your situation, tell us before you order and we will put the question to the manufacturer in writing rather than answer it with a logo on a web page.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis lift ships by freight truck to addresses in the lower 48 states, with the freight quoted live at checkout against your address so what you see is a current carrier rate. The columns are long, heavy crated assemblies and unloading them is the receiver's responsibility: a forklift with the reach and capacity, a loading dock, or a collection booked at the carrier's local terminal, which is often the easiest arrangement because the terminal already has the equipment. Delivery to a residential address carries a residential fee, applied at checkout when you choose that option.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect before you sign. Check for bent column ends, crushed corners, banding that has slipped, damaged arms and any oil on the pallet, and write what you find on the bill of lading while the driver is still there, with photographs taken at the same time. A clean signature is the carrier's evidence that the lift arrived undamaged, and reversing that later is very difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eKatool publishes a written warranty document for this lift; ask us for the current copy before you order if the terms matter to your decision. One warning holds for every hydraulic lift regardless of who made it: if something fails, do not take apart the power unit, a cylinder or a lock mechanism before a claim has been opened. A disassembled component is normally treated as a modified one and cover that would have been honoured is lost. Photograph the fault, record the serial number, and call us before you touch it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mechanicsuperstore.com\/pages\/contact\"\u003eContact us for more information.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-end=\"4400\" data-start=\"4099\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mechanicsuperstore.com\/pages\/contact\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e for more information.\u003cimg alt=\"\" height=\"8\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" width=\"1198\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e   \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-pickupdelivry-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003ePick Up and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-pickupdelivry-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-pickupdelivry-item\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eCall, text, or chat with us if you have questions. 866-774-7743\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Katool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54965111816531,"sku":"KT-AM120SD","price":1466.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/progradewarehouse.com\/products\/katool-am120sd-12-000lbs-2-post-lift","provider":"PRO GRADE WAREHOUSE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
