Description
Overview
The Tuxedo TP9KF-TUX is a two-post floor plate lift rated at 9,000 pounds, finished in the standard Tuxedo black, for shops that want a strong lift under a lower ceiling.
The floor plate design runs the equalizer cables through a low ramp at the base, which keeps the top of the bay open for taller vehicles. Symmetric arms and chain drive cylinders carry a balanced load, and the dual-point lock release with an automatic arm restraint system holds the vehicle securely.
