The Atlas® PV Series delivers exceptional value for shops and technicians seeking a heavy-duty, professional-grade two-post lift without the premium price tag. Manufactured and proven in the field for over a decade, the PV Series has earned a reputation for outstanding durability and reliability, with thousands of units in service across North America. Built with rugged construction and dependable performance in mind, these lifts are often described by customers as "bulletproof," making them a trusted choice for demanding automotive service environments..
The Atlas® PV12PX is a heavy-duty commercial-grade two-post lift engineered to service everything from passenger vehicles to long wheelbase trucks and vans. With 123" between the columns and an impressive 109" drive-through clearance, it easily accommodates wide vehicles, oversized mirrors, and larger commercial applications. The lift features a low pad height for sports cars and passenger vehicles, while the included peg-style truck adapters provide safe lifting for trucks equipped with running boards and other accessories.
Designed with extra lifting height for increased versatility, the PV12PX offers ample overhead clearance for vans, box trucks, and other tall vehicles. For facilities with ceiling restrictions, the Atlas® ATEXH-PV12PX can be configured in three column height settings, with the lowest height of 150" (12' 6") available when equipped with optional extra-short cables.
Extra-Wide, Extra-Tall Design for Maximum Versatility
The distance between the symmetric columns is an impressive 123¼ inches, with a drive-through space of over 109½ inches. This extra distance between the columns will allow the widest of vehicles or vehicles with wide rearview mirrors to be lifted or driven through with ease. Whether you're working on dually pickups, commercial vans, or vehicles with aftermarket running boards, the PV12PX accommodates them all.
The Atlas® PV12PX is now equipped with super-adjustable 3-stage lifting arms, providing exceptional versatility and expanded vehicle coverage. Each arm features three telescoping sections, allowing technicians to easily position the lift under both short and long wheelbase vehicles with greater precision. This enhanced arm design accommodates a wider range of lifting points, improves vehicle balance during lifting, and simplifies positioning in tight workspaces. The result is faster vehicle setup, increased safety, and improved productivity for busy automotive service facilities.
Adjustable Height Configuration for Any Shop
The Atlas® XH-PV12PX features three adjustable height settings to fit your specific shop ceiling requirements:
Low Setting: 150 inches (12' 6") overall height (requires purchase of additional shorter cables, sold separately)
High Setting: 177 inches (14' 9") overall height – maximum clearance for tall vehicles
This unique adjustable height capability means you can configure the PV12PX to fit your existing shop space, rather than being forced to modify your building or compromise on lift performance. The height to shut-off bar adjusts accordingly: 141 inches (11' 9") on the low setting, 156 inches (13') on the middle setting, and 168 inches (14') on the high setting.
Maximum lift height without adapters is 72¼ inches, and with adapters installed, the lift reaches an impressive 79¼ inches, providing exceptional working clearance underneath even the largest vehicles.

Electrical & Installation Requirements
The Atlas® PV12PX operates on 220V single-phase power, with a 30 amp breaker recommended for safe, reliable operation. The hydraulic system requires 3-5 gallons of AW32 or AW46 hydraulic oil for proper operation.

Important Installation Note: The low height configuration (150" / 12' 6") requires the purchase of additional ATPKP-217112 shorter cables, which are sold separately. The lift ships standard with cables for the middle (165") and high (177") height configurations.
