Description
Overview
The Tuxedo TP12KC-D is a two-post clear floor lift rated at 12,000 pounds for shops that need to spot heavier trucks and vans without overhead obstructions.
Symmetric arms and direct drive push cylinders give a stable, balanced lift, while the single-point pneumatic lock release keeps both columns synchronized. The clear floor design routes the equalizer overhead, so technicians keep an open bay for rolling jacks and transmission work.
