Features

Extra-Wide Platform for Real Door Clearance

The A6W gives you 8 inches more overall width than the standard A6S (110.88" vs 102.88"). That 91.75" platform width means you can actually open doors fully without hitting the lift structure. If you're parking trucks and SUVs, this is the difference between daily frustration and actually using your lift.

Built for 9-10 Foot Residential Ceilings

Most home garages have low ceilings that rule out traditional four-post lifts. The A6W's compact scissor design hits 85" max platform height with five adjustable lock positions (52.5" to 76" under-clearance). Park your daily driver underneath, store another vehicle up top. No ceiling mods required.

Galvanized Platform, Powder-Coated Frame

The loading platform is hot-dipped galvanized steel for serious corrosion resistance. Road salt, moisture, garage humidity: handled. The frame gets durable powder coating. This dual-finish setup protects where it matters most and keeps looking good for years.

Door-Sentry Protection System

Full-length rubber guards run along the scissor-lift superstructure, creating a buffer between your doors and the steel frame. Combined with the extra-wide platform and low-profile 2" approach ramps, you're not going to ding your paint getting in and out.

Fast and Quiet Operation

The hydraulic scissor system raises 6,000 lbs to full height in about 45 seconds at 70 dB. That's about as loud as normal conversation. The 3 HP motor handles smooth, controlled movement without waking up the house or annoying the neighbors.

Ceiling Height Guide

Quick formula: Upper vehicle height + platform/structure (~6") + lower vehicle height + safety margin (6") = minimum ceiling needed.

Example: 49" sports car on top + 6" platform + 57" sedan below + 6" margin = 118" total, which fits under a 10 ft (120") ceiling.

Stack height varies by install. Check the manual for precise dimensions, or call us with your vehicle heights and we'll confirm fitment.

Lock Positions

Five automatic ratcheting lock positions give you adjustable under-car clearance. Top lock position gives about 76" of clearance underneath in typical installs. Intermediate heights vary by setup.

Tip: Measure your lower vehicle including roof racks, antennas, and luggage carriers. Make sure you've got room to open doors and get in/out comfortably. Questions about your specific vehicle pairing? Give us a call.
