The SPX PU-S-AB-1270 is a high-quality, ETL/UL/CSA certified hydraulic power unit engineered specifically for 220V automotive lift applications. Trusted by leading lift manufacturers including BendPak, Challenger, Forward, and Rotary, this power unit delivers reliable performance for both professional shops and serious home garages. Featuring a 208-230V AC single-phase motor with 3450 RPM operation and a robust AFC 2.0 CC/Rev pump, this unit provides consistent hydraulic power with a 2750 PSI relief valve for safe, controlled operation.
Designed for versatility and ease of installation, the PU-S-AB-1270 fits almost every 2-post or 4-post automotive lift on the market. The adjustable mounting bracket features slotted holes that accommodate most lift configurations without the need for custom drilling. The unit includes a 4.0-gallon vertical plastic tank with 700 cubic inches of useable fluid capacity plus reserve, ensuring smooth lift cycles and longevity. If your lift uses an overhead cutoff switch, this model has you covered—the built-in overhead kill switch provides an additional layer of safety (simply leave it disconnected if your lift doesn't require it).
Universal Compatibility & Professional Quality
This power unit is manufactured and developed by SPX to meet the specific needs of automotive professionals and enthusiasts alike. Providing the automotive industry with a line of high-quality hydraulic power units that are ETL tested to suit lift safety standards, the PU-S-AB-1270 is the same brand and model used by top-tier lift manufacturers worldwide.
Whether you're replacing an aging power unit or upgrading your existing lift system, the SPX PU-S-AB-1270 offers professional-grade reliability backed by a full factory warranty. You may need to add a small hydraulic fitting depending on your lift configuration, although most lifts will bolt on directly. The bracket's adjustable slots ensure a secure fit on virtually any lift mounting plate, and you may need to drill new mounting holes in rare cases—but in most installations, the existing holes will align perfectly.
