The Atlas® FM9SL 9,000 lb. flush-mount in-ground scissor lift is engineered for service facilities that demand maximum efficiency from every square foot of their shop floor. This innovative lift design eliminates above-ground obstructions entirely, delivering the clean, professional "flush floor look" that today's modern service departments require. With extendable platforms on both ends, 15 locking positions, and a 71½" maximum lift height, this lift is built to handle a wide range of vehicles—from compact cars to long-wheelbase pickup trucks—while preserving valuable floor space and allowing technicians to work in tight service bays with ease.
Unlike traditional "old school" in-ground lifts that require extensive excavation and suffer from difficult maintenance access, the Atlas® FM9SL features minimal installation depth and a separate self-contained control panel with an easily accessible electric/hydraulic power unit. Routine maintenance is straightforward, keeping your lift operational and minimizing downtime. The flush-mounted platforms can be driven over from any direction, enabling precise vehicle positioning even in the most confined spaces—a game-changer for busy shops looking to maximize their lift count per service area.
The Flush-Mount Advantage
The Atlas® FM9SL delivers the perfect alternative to traditional above-ground lifts. With no above-ground obstruction, your service floor remains clean, uncluttered, and safe. Technicians, customers, and vehicles can move freely across the shop floor without navigating around bulky lift bases or columns. The platforms sit flush with the floor when lowered, and their 13" minimum lowered height and open middle design provide easy access to the undercarriage from any angle.
This flush-mount design is ideal for high-volume shops that need to fit more lifts into their existing footprint without sacrificing workflow efficiency or safety. Because the platforms can be driven over from any direction, positioning vehicles is fast and intuitive, even in tight quarters. Whether you're servicing sedans, SUVs, or extended-cab pickups, the FM9SL's extendable platforms on both front and rear ends adapt to long wheelbases with ease.

Power and Performance Specifications
The FM9SL is powered by a robust 2 HP electric motor that operates on 220V ±5% (209-231 volts) single-phase power. A 30-amp breaker is required for safe operation. The lift's hydraulic system uses 5 gallons of AW32/AW46 hydraulic oil, ensuring smooth, reliable lifting performance and long service life.
The platforms are 21½" wide with a 4" platform thickness, offering a solid, stable surface for vehicle contact. The overall lift width is 74" (6' 2"), with an overall length of 64½" with extensions retracted and 80½" with extensions fully extended. This compact footprint makes the FM9SL ideal for service bays where space is at a premium.
