Description
Overview
The Tuxedo TP9KFX is a two-post floor plate lift rated at 9,000 pounds, built for shops and home garages that need a capable lift under a lower ceiling.
The floor plate design routes the equalizer cables through a low ramp at the base, so the top of the bay stays clear for tall vehicles. Symmetric arms and chain drive cylinders give a balanced lift, and the dual-point lock release with an automatic arm restraint system keeps loads secure.
