The Nationwide NW10KC-E is a symmetric clearfloor (overhead) two-post car lift with a 10,000 lb. lifting capacity—built for cars, SUVs, and light trucks in professional automotive shops. Its overhead connecting crossbeam ties the columns together at the top, leaving the floor completely open and unobstructed between the posts. That clear drive-through makes it easy to roll jacks, transmission stands, and creepers straight through the bay with nothing to step over. Built to Best Buy Auto Equipment quality standards, the NW10KC-E is designed for busy, high-throughput service work.
The NW10KC-E is driven by dual hydraulic cylinders—one in each column—synchronized by steel equalizer cables that keep both carriages rising level and stable. A robust 3 HP motor on standard 220V single-phase power raises a full load in about 45 seconds, and its two-stage arms position vehicles quickly and securely.
Advanced Safety System for Maximum Protection
The NW10KC-E is protected by automatic mechanical arm restraints that lock the arms in position under load. Manual safety locks at both columns require the technician to release the lock at each column before the lift will lower. An overhead height limit switch on the crossbeam stops the carriages at the top of travel to help prevent roof contact and over-travel, and steel equalizer cables keep the lift rising level from side to side.
A padded guard bar and column-top covers round out a design focused on protecting both your vehicles and your shop personnel during every lift.
Clearfloor Overhead Design
The NW10KC-E’s overhead crossbeam keeps the floor between the columns completely clear—no base plate to drive over and nothing underfoot. That unobstructed drive-through is ideal for shops that move rolling equipment through the bay all day. With an overall height of 141.57 inches, the NW10KC-E does require adequate ceiling clearance, so confirm your ceiling height before ordering.
This is a symmetric two-post lift with two-stage telescoping arms of slightly staggered length — front arms extend from 29.5 to 42.5 inches and rear arms from 35.4 to 55.1 inches — which gives a small amount of extra flexibility when positioning a vehicle. The columns sit 112.2 inches apart, and the lift raises vehicles to a working height of 74.8 inches with a low 4.13-inch minimum pad height for easy loading of low-clearance vehicles.
