Description
Overview
The Tuxedo TP9KACX is a two-post clear floor lift rated at 9,000 pounds with asymmetric arms, built for general service shops working on cars and light trucks.
The asymmetric arm layout and rotated columns let the technician open vehicle doors clear of the posts, which makes interior access easier on a busy bay. Chain drive cylinders and a dual-point lock release keep the columns synchronized, while the single-piece column and clear floor design keep the bay open underneath.
