Katool KT-X80 Mid-Rise Scissor Lift - 8,000 lbs. Capacity

The Katool KT-X80 Mid-Rise Scissor Lift is a versatile, heavy-duty automotive lift designed for professional repair shops, tire service centers, and home garages. With an 8,000 lb. lifting capacity, this mid-rise scissor lift provides convenient vehicle access for tire changes, brake repairs, suspension maintenance, detailing, and general automotive service.

Designed for both mobile and fixed-mount applications, the KT-X80 offers flexibility for shops with limited space. Its included portable mobility kit allows technicians to reposition the lift throughout the garage, while the low-profile scissor design provides a practical alternative to traditional two-post lifts.

Featuring a pneumatic safety release, 24V control system, height limit switch, and self-lubricating bushings and bearings, the Katool KT-X80 combines dependable lifting performance with convenient operation. The lift also includes composite rubber lifting blocks and locking drive-up ramps that can function as platform extensions for longer vehicles.

Important: The KT-X80 requires a compressed air supply to operate its pneumatic safety release system. Customers without an air compressor should consider Katool's electric-release model.

8,000 lb. Capacity for Automotive Service

The Katool KT-X80 8,000 lb. Mid-Rise Scissor Lift provides convenient vehicle lifting for a variety of automotive maintenance and repair tasks. Its scissor lift configuration is particularly useful for shops performing frequent tire rotations, brake repairs, wheel service, and general vehicle inspections.

With an 8,000 lb. rated lifting capacity, the KT-X80 accommodates a range of compatible vehicles while helping technicians work more comfortably without relying solely on floor jacks and jack stands.

Portable or Fixed-Mount Installation

One of the key advantages of the Katool KT-X80 Scissor Lift is its flexible installation design. The lift can be configured for mobile use or installed in a fixed location, depending on the shop's layout and operating requirements.

The included portable mobility kit allows operators to move the lift between work areas when unloaded, making it a practical solution for smaller garages, multi-purpose service bays, and facilities where workspace flexibility is important.

Pneumatic Safety Release & 24V Controls

The KT-X80 features a pneumatic safety release system designed for convenient operation. The air-operated release mechanism requires an external compressed air supply, which must be connected for proper operation.

A 24V control system provides low-voltage operator controls, while the integrated height limit switch helps prevent travel beyond the lift's intended maximum height.

Air Compressor Required: This model is not fully electric. An external air compressor is required for the pneumatic safety release. For garages without compressed air, an electric-release version may be a more convenient choice.

Locking Drive-Up Ramps & Rubber Lifting Blocks

The Katool KT-X80 includes locking drive-up ramps that can function as platform extensions, providing additional support length for compatible longer vehicles.

Composite rubber lifting blocks are also included to help technicians properly contact designated vehicle lifting points. The blocks provide a protective interface between the lift and the vehicle while allowing convenient positioning for different applications.

Durable Hydraulic System & Motor Cooling

The KT-X80 is equipped with a heavy-duty hydraulic lifting system designed for consistent performance during regular automotive service operations.

Its aluminum motor incorporates a top-mounted cooling fan to help manage operating temperatures during extended use. Self-lubricating bushings and bearings help reduce friction at moving components, supporting smoother operation and reduced routine maintenance.
