Description
Overview
The Tuxedo SP-6K-SS is a single-column storage lift rated at 6,000 lbs. It is built for shops, dealerships, and home garages that need to stack one vehicle over another or free up floor space without committing to a full two-post bay.
A single post keeps the footprint tight, so multiple units fit into a row along a wall or down the center of a building. The runways carry the vehicle on a 19-position mechanical lock ladder, and a commercial-grade hydraulic cylinder with heavy-duty leaf chain handles the load. The DURO electric over hydraulic power unit runs on a standard 115V, 20 amp single-phase circuit, so no special service is required for most installations.
Key Features
- 6,000 lb capacity - rated for cars, small trucks, and SUVs in storage or service duty.
- Single-column design - minimal footprint lets you place multiple units side by side for dense parking.
- Reversible mounting - the post can be set to lift from the left or right side to suit the bay layout.
- Low-profile approach ramps - load vehicles with low ground clearance without scraping.
- 19-position lock ladder - mechanical locks hold the runways at the working or storage height you set.
- DURO electric over hydraulic power unit - commercial cylinder and heavy-duty leaf chain on a 115V single-phase circuit.
