The Tuxedo TP9KFX represents the latest evolution in professional two-post lift design, delivering exceptional value with its comprehensive suite of premium features. This 9,000 lb. capacity symmetric lift has been completely redesigned as part of the new "X" series, incorporating innovations that make it one of the best two-post lift values in the industry. With its floor plate design, robust chain drive system, and industry-leading construction quality, the TP9KFX is engineered for professional shops demanding reliability, safety, and versatility.
Built with single-piece column construction, the TP9KFX offers superior strength and stability compared to multi-piece designs. The columns feature 5mm steel thickness with a substantial 7.25" x 10.87" cross-section, while the carriages match at 5mm and the lift arms are reinforced at 6mm thickness. This heavy-duty construction is complemented by a durable powder coat finish that protects against the harshest shop environments. With a maximum lift height of 72 inches and a minimum pad height of just 4 inches, this lift accommodates everything from low-profile sports cars to full-size trucks and SUVs.
The new 9K "X" Series lifts represent a complete redesign focused on adding professional-grade features that were previously only available on higher-priced models. The TP9KFX floor plate model now includes a host of standard features that enhance both functionality and safety. The redesign focused on improving usability, reducing the lift's footprint, and incorporating smart design elements that protect both vehicles and equipment.
Key enhancements include internal hose routing with integrated hose guards that protect hydraulic lines from damage and create a cleaner, more professional appearance. The reduced overall width achieved through front-side power unit mounting maximizes available shop space while maintaining full 9,000 lb. lifting capacity. An overhead shut-off bar with kill switch provides an additional safety feature for emergency stop situations.
What Sets the TP9KFX Apart:
Low-Profile Swivel Pads
The TP9KFX features innovative low-profile 'drop-in' swivel pads with 1-1/2" adjustable height capability. This design allows you to quickly adapt to different vehicle lift points without tools, while the swivel function ensures optimal contact with the vehicle frame. The drop-in design means pads are easily replaceable and can be swapped out for different adapter configurations in seconds.
Stackable Height Adapters Included
Every TP9KFX includes a complete set of stackable drop-in height adapters at no additional charge. You receive 4 each of 1-3/8" and 4" adapters that can be stacked in various combinations to accommodate trucks, SUVs, and vehicles with high ground clearance. This feature alone represents significant added value, as these adapters are often sold separately on competing lifts.
Space-Saving Power Unit Mounting
The front-side power unit mounting configuration reduces the lift's overall width while maintaining full structural integrity and lifting capacity. The overall width with power unit is just 134.6 inches, with 110.4 inches between columns and an impressive 101-inch drive-through clearance. This compact footprint maximizes your shop's available workspace without sacrificing performance.
Protected Internal Hose Routing
Internal hose routing with integrated hose guards is a premium feature now standard on the TP9KFX. This design protects hydraulic hoses from accidental damage, keeps them out of the way during vehicle positioning, and creates a cleaner, more professional appearance. The integrated guards ensure long hose life and reduce maintenance requirements.
Rubber Door Guards
Protective rubber door guards are strategically positioned on the column frames to prevent vehicle doors from contacting the metal structure. This thoughtful detail protects your customers' vehicles from scratches and dings during entry and exit, demonstrating the kind of attention to detail that builds customer confidence and loyalty.
The symmetric arm configuration on the TP9KFX provides balanced lifting for a wide range of vehicles. Both the front and rear arms offer 31" to 45" reach, with each arm rated for a maximum load of 2,250 lbs. The 3/8" diameter steel cables and robust chain drive system deliver smooth, reliable lifting action with excellent load distribution. The symmetric design is ideal for general service work and is particularly well-suited for shops working on a diverse mix of passenger vehicles, light trucks, and SUVs.
The floor plate design provides a stable, secure installation that's ideal for shops with existing concrete floors. The overall height of 111.9 inches fits comfortably in standard commercial shop spaces, while the 72-inch maximum lift height provides ample working clearance underneath vehicles. Whether you're performing routine maintenance, brake service, suspension work, or exhaust repairs, the TP9KFX delivers the access and stability you need.
Spin-Up Cradle Adapters
The TP9KX-SPNCA Optional Set of 4 Spin-Up Cradle Adapters provides an alternative lifting method for vehicles with unique frame configurations or pinch weld requirements. These cradle adapters spin up and lock securely onto the lift arms, offering a stable cradle-style contact surface that distributes load across a wider area. This accessory expands the versatility of your TP9KFX even further.
