Atlas® Automotive Equipment ATTD-SUPRTBR Scissor Lift Support Bars
Supersedes ATTD-SUPPORTBARKIT
The Atlas® Support Bar System is an essential accessory for any shop working with modern trucks and SUVs on scissor lift platforms. Engineered specifically for heavier vehicles with narrow frames, this system transforms how your lift handles pickup trucks and SUVs by intelligently redistributing vehicle weight away from the inside edges of your platform and toward the center—exactly where scissor lifts are designed to carry the load.
Whether you're working with solid platform scissor lifts or the advanced wheels-free alignment systems found on Atlas® 12K alignment lifts, this support bar kit delivers safer, more stable lifts for narrow-frame vehicles while providing superior undercarriage access. With a combined 8,000 lb support capacity when used in pairs, adjustable lift pads, and a non-slip rubber surface that grips your platform securely, the ATTD-SUPRTBR is the professional solution to one of the most common challenges in modern vehicle lifting.
Why Your Shop Needs Support Bars
Here's the problem: many larger vehicles have narrow frames that don't align with the load-bearing design of standard scissor platforms. When you lift these trucks or SUVs with traditional solid platforms or wheels-free systems, the vehicle's narrow frame exerts concentrated downward force on the inside edges of the platform—not the structurally stronger center. Unibody cars, by contrast, have wider frame contact areas that naturally place vehicle weight over the center of the platforms where it belongs.
The Atlas® Support Bar System solves this engineering challenge by dispersing the weight of narrow-frame vehicles toward the center of the scissor platform, restoring proper load distribution and preventing edge loading. The result? Safer lifts, more stable platforms, and extended equipment life.
Beyond weight distribution, the Support Bar System includes truck adapters that elevate the vehicle above the platform surface, giving your technicians easy, unobstructed access to undercarriage components, exhaust systems, suspension parts, and more. No more awkward angles or limited reach—just clear, open workspace underneath every lift.
Engineered for Performance and Versatility
Each Atlas® Support Bar measures 88½ inches long by 4 inches wide, providing extensive contact area and maximum stability under heavy vehicles. At just 2¾ inches tall without adapters, the bars maintain a low profile when you need it, but the included 4 short adapters (4" height) and 4 tall adapters (6" height) give you the flexibility to lift vehicles higher and create generous undercarriage clearance for complex service work.
The adjustable lift pads let you dial in the perfect fit for each vehicle's unique lift points, expanding your range of compatible service positions. Meanwhile, the solid rubber surface on each bar grips the smooth metal platform surface firmly, preventing any sliding or shifting during the lift cycle—a critical safety feature when working under thousands of pounds of vehicle.
With a combined 8,000 lb capacity when used in pairs, these support bars are rated for the heavy-duty work your shop demands, day in and day out.
