The Atlas® SLP-9K full-rise scissor lift delivers an unbeatable combination of an ultra-low 4½" lowered height and a powerful 78-inch (6' 6") maximum lift height—all with a robust 9,000 lbs capacity. Engineered for shops facing ceiling height restrictions or those seeking a cleaner, column-free workspace, this full-rise scissor lift offers the reach you need to service pickup trucks, SUVs, and full-frame vehicles with confidence. With adjustable platform width up to 31 inches, 10 air-actuated locking positions, and a separate self-contained control panel, the Atlas® SLP-9K is the perfect solution for professional service shops demanding versatility, safety, and ease of use.
Extreme Low Profile Meets Full-Rise Performance
The Atlas® SLP-9K combines an extremely low lift platform height with a 78-inch full-rise scissor jack system. This makes the SLP-9K the perfect above-ground lift for customers with ceiling height restrictions who still need "enough lift" to raise pickup trucks and larger vehicles. Unlike cluttered vertical lift columns, this full-rise scissor lift provides a clean, open service area that's easy to navigate and work around.
The SLP-9K can also be flush mounted for an even cleaner look. A flush-mounted scissor lift gives your service area a sleek, professional appearance and provides a flat surface that can be driven over from any angle, making it easy to position vehicles precisely over the lifting platforms.
Adjustable Width for Full-Frame, Uni-Body, and SUV Lifting
The 31-inch adjustable distance between the lift platforms of the Atlas® SLP-9K scissor lift can accommodate full-frame, uni-body, or SUV (truck) lifting points. This versatility ensures you can confidently lift a wide range of vehicles with proper support and balance.
For shops regularly lifting heavier vehicles such as pickup trucks and SUVs with narrow frames, it is highly recommended to purchase the Atlas® Scissor Lift Support Bars. These support bars provide additional stability and contact area for vehicles with narrower frames, ensuring safe and secure lifting.
Important: Optimal Vehicle Positioning on Scissor Lifts
The best way to position any vehicle on a scissor lift (with horizontal cylinders) is to allow some space (2–6 inches) between the lifting surface of the lift and the vehicle's lifting points. This ensures optimal hydraulic performance and full rated capacity.

Separate Control Panel with Push Button Operation
The separate self-contained control panel may be conveniently positioned to allow easy access for the operator. The 220-volt (single phase) electric/hydraulic power unit is housed inside the metal control panel box. Push button controls activate the raising and lowering of the lift with ease. The sophisticated 10-position air-actuated lock system is automatically engaged and disengaged as the lift is being raised or lowered, ensuring safe, reliable operation at every height.
The lift also features a safety lowering limit switch. Once the lift platforms are lowered to within 10½ inches of the ground, the lift automatically stops its descent. The Down button needs to be released and depressed again to allow the lift to go down completely—a smart safety feature that prevents accidental full descent.
Built for Long-Term Reliability and Smooth Operation
Each hinge point on the SLP-9K is equipped with a zerk grease fitting to allow maximum lubrication to each joint, ensuring smooth, consistent operation over the life of the lift. The UHMP wear blocks ensure years of smooth operation of the lifting surface, minimizing friction and wear.
The Atlas® SLP-9K is powered by four hydraulic lifting cylinders (two in each platform) and requires 3.5 gallons of AW32/AW46 hydraulic oil. The lift is backed by a 1-year structural and hydraulic warranty and is CE certified for quality and safety.
Locking Approach Ramps for Easy Access
The Atlas® SLP-9K includes locking approach ramps (attached to the lifting platforms) that can be locked into a horizontal position after the lift is locked at the desired working height. Each ramp measures 11" x 24", providing a stable, secure entry point for vehicles. The ramps ensure smooth loading and unloading of vehicles onto the lift platforms.
