The Auto Lift FP9K-DX-XLT Four Post Lift represents the pinnacle of commercial-grade lifting and storage solutions for professional shops and serious enthusiasts. Engineered with a robust 9,000 lb. capacity, this versatile lift handles everything from compact cars to full-size trucks with ease. Whether you need to maximize your garage space with dual-vehicle storage or perform comprehensive service work, the Car-Park-9 delivers industry-leading performance and exceptional value.
What sets the FP9K-DX-XLT apart is its impressive combination of runway length and drive-thru width—designed to accommodate large vehicles while maintaining easy access for service work. With 188.5" runways and a generous 99" drive-thru width, you'll have the clearance you need for even oversized vehicles. The lift reaches a maximum 85" lifting height with 81" of clearance under the runways, providing ample room for comprehensive undercarriage work or convenient overhead storage.
Unlike bare-bones lifts that require costly add-ons, the Car-Park-9 comes complete with premium accessories included: a Poly Caster Kit for effortless repositioning, a set of four Drip Trays to protect your floor, and a convenient Jack/Tool Tray to keep your workspace organized. This all-inclusive package makes it one of the best lift values in the industry.
The FP9K-DX-XLT includes three essential accessories that enhance functionality and provide exceptional value right out of the box:
Keep your workspace organized with this convenient storage tray. Perfect for holding your floor jack, impact tools, or other equipment you need within arm's reach during service work. No more running back and forth to your toolbox—everything stays accessible right on the lift.
Set of four heavy-duty polyethylene casters that make repositioning your lift effortless. The brilliant design requires no tools—simply pin them onto the columns, lower the lift, and the casters automatically engage to lift the columns off the ground. Roll your lift sideways to create additional parking space underneath, or reposition it anywhere in your shop. When you're ready to use the lift again, raise it slightly and remove the pins—it's that simple.
Set of four lightweight polyethylene drip trays protect your shop floor from oil, coolant, and other fluids. The stackable design is brilliantly simple: when not in use, just slide them to the back of the runways and stack them together for compact storage. When you need them, position them under potential drip points for worry-free fluid containment.
Safety is paramount when working with heavy vehicles elevated overhead. The Car-Park-9 incorporates multiple redundant safety features to give you complete peace of mind:
Cable Safety System
A robust cable-based safety mechanism provides secondary protection, ensuring the lift remains secure even in the unlikely event of a primary system failure. This redundant safety feature is standard on all Auto Lift commercial-grade models.
Advanced Locking System
The precision-engineered lock ladder features 11 distinct locking positions, allowing you to secure the lift at multiple heights for different tasks. The single-point manual release makes operation simple while maintaining maximum security during use.
Powered by standard 110V/20 Amp single-phase electrical service, the Car-Park-9 doesn't require special wiring or electrical upgrades in most facilities. The lift operates smoothly and efficiently, reaching full height in approximately 100 seconds. The included steel approach ramps provide a safe, gradual incline for easy vehicle loading.
The lift's overall footprint measures 239" long with ramps (197" without) and 134.5" wide with the power unit, allowing you to plan your shop layout precisely. With 97" column height and 111.5" clearance between columns, you'll have plenty of overhead and side clearance for safe vehicle maneuvering.
