Description
Overview
The Tuxedo TP12KFX is a two-post floor plate lift rated at 12,000 pounds for shops that want a strong lift without an overhead crossbar limiting roof clearance.
The floor plate design routes the equalizer cables through a low ramp at the base, so tall vehicles clear the top of the bay. Symmetric arms and chain drive cylinders deliver a balanced lift, and the dual-point lock release with an automatic arm restraint system keeps loads secure.
