KT-4H950 Four-Post Lift Features
9,500 lb Lifting Capacity
9,500 lb total capacity handles cars, trucks, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles. CE approved and certified with 115% dynamic load capacity standard and 150% static load capacity tested.
This is serious lifting power for a home garage or small shop four-post lift running on household voltage.
110V Power with Flexible Placement
Runs on 110V / 60Hz / single-phase power with a 3HP motor. Requires a 30 amp breaker. No 220V wiring needed for standard operation.
The power column can be installed on either side, front or rear depending on your workspace layout. Position it where it works best for your garage.
4 Mechanical Locks with Dual Safety Systems
Four mechanical locking devices with both primary and secondary safety locks. The secondary lock system acts as a slack-cable device that engages automatically in the unlikely event of cable failure.
This redundant safety design means multiple systems are protecting you when working under the vehicle.
Single-Point Manual Safety Release
Single-point manual safety release lets you disengage all locks from one location. Simple, mechanical operation with no air compressor required.
Turn the safety release handle clockwise to disengage, then lower. Straightforward controls that anyone can learn quickly.
84.5 Inch Lifting Height
84.5 in maximum lifting height with 81.5 in of clearance under the raised platform. Full rise in approximately 50 seconds.
The height provides comfortable standing access for undercarriage work or room for a second vehicle parked below. A true storage lift.
Non-Skid Diamond Plate Runways
Diamond plate runways provide stable, slip-resistant traction for vehicle positioning. The textured surface grips tires during drive-on and prevents movement once parked.
Runway length is 174 in with 86.6 in drive-through clearance between columns.
Adjustable Safety Lock Ladders
Adjustable safety lock ladders let you set your preferred working heights. The cable-and-pulley system keeps both platforms synchronized for level lifting.
Adjust the ladder position to fine-tune lock engagement heights for your specific needs.
Quad Cable Synchronization
A quad cable system provides synchronized, balanced force to all four carriages. This prevents tilting and ensures level platform movement during lifting and lowering.
All cables are fully concealed within the structure for a clean appearance and protection from damage.
Portable with Caster Kit
Caster kit included for moving the lift around your shop. This lift can be used without anchoring to the ground when mounted on casters.
If you choose to bolt it down permanently, your concrete must meet the minimum thickness and strength requirements.
Complete Accessory Package
Everything you need is included: aluminum ramps, jack tray, and 3 drip trays. No extra purchases required to start using the lift.
Optional sliding bridge jack with hand pump available for wheel-off service.
