The Auto Lift AL2-9K-FX represents the pinnacle of value and engineering in the 9,000 lb. capacity floor plate lift category. Part of the redesigned "X" Series, this lift combines proven reliability with cutting-edge features that were once reserved for premium models. With single-piece column construction, internal hose routing, and an overhead shut-off bar with kill switch, the AL2-9K-FX delivers professional-grade performance at an exceptional price point. Built for shops demanding robust construction and daily reliability, this symmetric floor plate lift raises vehicles up to 72 inches in just 50 seconds, providing fast, secure access for maintenance and repair work.
The NEW 9K "X" Series two post lifts have been completely redesigned to deliver features that matter most to professional technicians and serious enthusiasts. The 9K-FX floor plate model now includes standard features such as single piece column construction for enhanced rigidity, internal hose routing with integrated hose guards for improved safety and aesthetics, an added overhead shut-off bar with kill switch for emergency stops, and reduced overall width thanks to innovative front-side power unit mounting. Add in the exclusive drop-in adjustable swivel pads with height adapters and protective rubber door guards, and you have one of the best two post lift values in the industry.
The floor plate design provides exceptional stability and eliminates the need for expensive anchor bolts, making installation faster and more flexible. With a 110.4-inch width between columns and 101-inch drive-thru clearance, this lift accommodates a wide range of vehicles while maintaining a 134.6-inch overall width including the power unit. The symmetric arm configuration with 31" to 45" reach on both front and rear arms ensures balanced lifting for cars, trucks, and SUVs up to 9,000 lbs.
Key Highlights of the AL2-9K-FX:
The AL2-9K-FX isn't just another two-post lift—it's packed with thoughtful design improvements that enhance safety, versatility, and ease of use in every lift cycle.
The redesigned low-profile 'drop-in' swivel pads feature 1-1/2" adjustable height, allowing you to perfectly position contact points for various vehicle frame configurations. These pads drop easily into the arm sockets and provide the flexibility needed for safe, secure lifting on everything from compact cars to full-size trucks.
Every AL2-9K-FX includes 4 each of 1-3/8" and 4" stackable 'drop-in' height adapters at no extra charge. These adapters transform your lift's versatility, allowing you to safely lift trucks, SUVs, and vehicles with higher ground clearance. Stack them as needed to achieve the perfect contact height—a feature that would cost hundreds extra on competing lifts.
The innovative front-side power unit mounting reduces the overall width of the lift, saving valuable shop floor space without sacrificing performance. This smart design choice means you can fit the AL2-9K-FX into tighter bays while still enjoying the full 110.4-inch width between columns and 101-inch drive-thru clearance.
Say goodbye to exposed hydraulic hoses that snag tools and create tripping hazards. The internal hose routing with integrated hose guards keeps hydraulic lines protected inside the column structure, delivering a cleaner look and safer work environment. This professional-grade feature extends hose life and reduces maintenance headaches.
Protect your customers' vehicles with the included rubber door guards. These strategically placed guards prevent car doors from contacting the metal frame of the lift, eliminating costly door dings and paint damage. It's a small detail that makes a big difference in customer satisfaction and your shop's reputation.
Built from high-quality steel with 5mm thick columns, 5mm thick carriages, and 6mm thick arms, the AL2-9K-FX is engineered for years of reliable service. The 7.25" x 10.87" column size provides exceptional rigidity, while the chain drive system ensures smooth, consistent lifting performance. Each lift is finished with a durable powder coat that resists corrosion and maintains a professional appearance even in demanding shop environments.
Operating on standard 220V - 20 AMP - 1 Phase power, this lift integrates seamlessly into most shop electrical systems. With a 50-second lifting speed, you'll maximize productivity without waiting around for slow cycle times. The dual point lock release system provides multiple automatic lock positions for safe, secure work at any height.
Expand your lift's capabilities with the TP9KX-SPNCA Optional Set of 4 Spin-Up Cradle Adapters. These premium adapters provide additional contact options for specialized vehicles and lifting situations, giving you even more versatility when working on diverse vehicle types.
