Features

Dual Hydraulic Cylinder Lifting

Each column carries its own hydraulic cylinder, and two steel equalization cables force both carriages to move in sync. The vehicle stays level through the lift even when weight distribution is not perfectly balanced.

Dual Manual Safety Locks

Spring-tensioned locking plates on both carriages engage automatically against toothed bars welded inside each column as the lift rises. With locks on both sides, the load is held by two independent mechanisms.

Top Limit Switch

A limit switch on the overhead beam cuts motor power when the carriage reaches maximum height, protecting taller vehicles from overhead contact.

Low-Chassis Pickup

A minimum pad height of 4.33 inches (110 mm) with screw-adjustable lift pads lets the arms reach under low-profile cars as easily as trucks, and adapt to different chassis heights.

Concealed Cables and Hydraulic Lines

Lifting cables and hydraulic lines route fully concealed within the structure, keeping them protected from shop damage and giving the lift a clean appearance.

Best For

Commercial Fleet Service

Shops servicing delivery vans, box trucks, and fleet vehicles need capacity that doesn't leave them guessing. The 15,000 lb rating handles the heavy end of commercial fleets with margin to spare.

Full-Service Auto Repair

From sedans to full-size trucks, a higher-capacity two post lift means you're not turning away jobs because the vehicle's too heavy. One lift covers more of your daily ticket mix.

Truck and SUV Specialty Shops

Lifted trucks, heavy SUVs, and modified rigs add weight fast. This lift gives you the headroom and capacity to take on oversized vehicles, provided total weight, weight distribution, and lifting points fall within the lift's documented limits.

Municipal and Government Garages

Public works vehicles, utility trucks, and emergency rigs need reliable lifting infrastructure. Heavy-gauge steel construction and dual-cylinder hydraulics hold up under high-volume, day-in-day-out use.

Installation Requirements

Concrete Foundation

Before you schedule delivery, make sure your shop floor can handle the install. Per the manufacturer's specifications for 15,000 lb models, the KT-M150D requires a concrete slab at least 6.5 inches thick, rated 3,000 PSI minimum and cured for 28 days, with no more than 3 degrees of slope. If your floor doesn't meet that spec, the lift won't anchor safely, and you'll be looking at a slab pour or reinforcement before anything else happens.

Electrical and Ceiling Clearance

You'll need a dedicated electrical circuit for the lift's power unit. Contact our team to confirm the motor and voltage configuration for your shop before ordering, and plan to have a qualified electrician handle the hookup. The overall height of the lift is 176.77 inches, so verify your ceiling clearance before installation to make sure the columns fit with room to spare.

Unloading

A forklift is required to unload the lift from the freight truck. If you don't have one on-site, contact us before ordering so we can arrange a terminal pickup instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

What concrete floor thickness and strength do I need for the KT-M150D?

Per the manufacturer's specification for 15,000 lb models, you'll need a concrete slab at least 6.5 inches thick with a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 PSI, cured for at least 28 days. If your existing floor doesn't meet those specs, you'll need to reinforce or pour a new pad before installation. This is a safety requirement, not a suggestion, so have your slab checked before scheduling delivery.

Can I use the KT-M150D on full-size trucks and commercial vans?

Yes. The 15,000 lb capacity is sized for heavier vehicles like full-size pickup trucks, cargo vans, box trucks, and fleet vehicles. The symmetric arm design distributes the load evenly across both columns. Just make sure the vehicle's total weight, including any aftermarket modifications or cargo, stays within the rated capacity.

What's the maximum lifting height and will it fit in my shop?

Max lifting height is 72.83 inches, and the overall height of the installed lift is 176.77 inches. Measure your ceiling clearance before ordering to make sure the columns fit with room for full extension. Drive-thru clearance between the columns is 116.14 inches, giving you good width for larger vehicles.

Do I need a forklift to unload this lift when it arrives?

Yes. Two post lifts ship via freight and require a forklift for unloading at your location. If you don't have a forklift on-site, contact us before placing your order so we can arrange terminal delivery for pickup at a nearby freight terminal instead.

What does the warranty cover on the KT-M150D?

The manufacturer's warranty covers all product parts for 1 year and the lift's structural components for an additional 3 years. Warranty parts ship free. Labor costs are not included in the warranty coverage. Warranty registration may be required after purchase, so check the included documentation once your lift arrives.

Is the KT-M150D a symmetric or asymmetric lift design?

The KT-M150D uses a symmetric two post design, meaning the columns are positioned with the arms extending equally from each side. This provides balanced load distribution and works well for trucks, vans, and vehicles where even weight placement across the lift is important for safe operation.
