Katool KT-H105 – Two-Post Lift (10,000 lb, Floorplate)

The KT-H105 has a maximum lifting capacity of 10,000 lb (4,500 kg), suitable for passenger vehicles, SUVs, and light-duty trucks. The lift is CE certified with testing verified at 115% dynamic load and 150% static load capacity, providing documented safety margins above the rated capacity. The dual hydraulic chain-drive cylinder system distributes lifting force evenly across both columns for stable, synchronized operation throughout the lift cycle.

The KT-H105 requires a minimum concrete thickness of 5.9 inches (150 mm) with a minimum concrete strength of 3,000 PSI. These specifications ensure adequate foundation support for the lift's 10,000 lb capacity rating and the 1,256 lb weight of the lift itself. The base plate design anchors directly to the floor slab, so foundation integrity is critical. Have your concrete tested before installation if thickness or strength is uncertain, and ensure proper anchor embedment depth per the manufacturer installation manual.

The lift has an overall height of 110.9 inches (2,818 mm) at the top of the columns. You need ceiling clearance exceeding this height plus adequate space above your tallest lifted vehicle at maximum lift height of 70.8 inches. A 12-foot ceiling is the recommended minimum for most passenger vehicle and SUV applications. The base plate design eliminates overhead crossbars, making the KT-H105 suitable for facilities where traditional overhead two-post configurations would not fit.

The KT-H105 includes screw-on lift pads for standard lift points, extension support adapters adding 100 mm of reach, and stackable height adapters (4 pieces at 70 mm each) for vehicles with higher ground clearance. Rubber door opening protection pads prevent damage during service, and a complete installation hardware kit covers anchor bolts and mounting components. This adapter variety handles most passenger vehicle, SUV, and light truck lift point configurations without requiring additional purchases.

The KT-H105 operates on 220VAC / 60Hz single-phase power and uses a 2.2 kW motor. A dedicated 220V circuit is recommended to prevent voltage drop during startup. Confirm breaker size and wire gauge with a licensed electrician based on your run length and local code. Some dealers offer an optional 110V power unit; contact your dealer if you need that configuration.

No, the KT-H105 is CE certified but not ALI certified. CE is the European conformity standard requiring third-party verification of safety compliance, while ALI (ANSI/ALI ALCTV) is the North American automotive lift industry standard. The CE certification includes documented testing at 115% dynamic and 150% static load capacity. Some commercial insurance policies, fleet operations, or local jurisdictions may specifically require ALI certification - verify requirements for your application before purchase.

The KT-H105 provides 98.4 inches (2,500 mm) of drive-thru clearance between columns, with an inside column width of 110.2 inches (2,800 mm). The symmetric arm configuration offers front arm reach from 29.5 to 46 inches (750-1,170 mm) and rear arm reach from 35.4 to 58.2 inches (900-1,480 mm). These dimensions accommodate most passenger vehicles, SUVs, and light trucks within the lift's 10,000 lb capacity rating without positioning constraints.

Yes, forklift equipment is required for unloading. The lift ships at 1,256 lb (570 kg) and liftgate service is not available due to the weight. Commercial address delivery is standard, and residential delivery incurs additional fees. If your facility lacks forklift access, warehouse pickup is available at Katool locations in TX, CA, MD, and NC where you can coordinate transport with proper unloading equipment. Inspect all crates for visible damage before signing the bill of lading and note any damage on the paperwork to preserve freight claim eligibility.
