GrandPrix GP-9LC Two-Post Lift: Who It's For
- Home Garage Owners: The 109.5 in height fits standard residential ceilings where most two-post lifts won't work. DIY maintenance, restorations, enthusiast projects.

- Tire and Wheel Service Centers: Quick cycle times across compact cars through full-size SUVs. 65-second rise time keeps jobs moving.
GP-9LC Two-Post Lift Features
Floorplate Design for Low Ceilings
No overhead crossbar. The 109.5 in overall height, 127.5 in outside column width, and 103 in drive-through clearance fit garages with 9-10 ft ceilings where standard two-post lifts won't work.
The 1.25 in driveover height keeps entry easy for low-clearance vehicles. Full undercarriage access without structural modifications to your garage.
Triple-Telescoping Front Arms, Dual-Stage Rear Arms
Front arms extend 22.5 to 43.25 in in three stages. Rear arms reach 33.5 to 53.25 in. Handles sports cars, sedans, SUVs, and full-size trucks without swapping adapters.
Double-telescoping screw pads with 2 in adjustment and tear-resistant polyurethane pads. Included 4-piece 63mm stackable adapter set extends max height to 76.5-78.5 in.
Automatic Safety Locks with Single-Pull Release
Safety locks engage automatically every 3 inches as the lift rises. No manual engagement. Single-pull lanyards on each carriage release the locks when lowering.
Automatic arm restraints secure arms in place when raised, preventing movement during service.
6x6 in Tubular Steel Construction
6 x 6 in tubular steel carriages with 20.5 x 15.5 in base plates for even weight distribution. Self-lubricating UHMW polyethylene guide blocks for smooth carriage travel.
Full-size rubber carriage guards prevent door dings. Electric-hydraulic power system runs on 220V single-phase.
Chain-Over Design with Industrial-Grade Components
Industrial-grade leaf chain manufactured to ANSI standards. Maintains integrity under high stress and repeated cycles, unlike systems that stretch over time.
Oversized rollers with Zerk grease fittings for easy maintenance. 1/2 in aircraft-quality equalizer cables over oversized sheaves reduce fatigue.
Symmetric and Asymmetric Arm Positioning
Both symmetric and asymmetric configurations. Each arm adjusts independently. 2,250 lb max load per arm.
Works with front-engine RWD, FWD with offset weight, and SUVs with varied suspension geometry.
