Katool KT-M150D 15,000 lb Two Post Lift

Your shop's handling heavier vehicles, but your current lift tops out before you get to the work trucks and full-size vans that keep rolling through the bay. The Katool KT-M150D two post lift gives you 15,000 lbs of lifting capacity, putting commercial-weight vehicles comfortably within range without pushing a lift to its limits every time you run one up.

What separates this 15,000 lb two post lift from chain-driven alternatives is the direct-drive cylinder system. Fewer moving parts means smoother lift cycles, less noise, and less long-term maintenance chasing worn chains and sprockets. The symmetric arm design distributes load evenly across both columns, and a single-point lock release keeps lowering simple and controlled. You're not fumbling with individual release mechanisms on each side.

Katool built the KT-M150D from Q235 and Q245 structural steel, backed by a 4HP (3KW) motor running on 220V/60Hz power. At 72.83 inches of max lifting height and 116 inches of drive-thru clearance, you've got the headroom and access to work underneath larger chassis without fighting for space. This is a production-level two post car lift built to keep a busy shop moving.

Installation and Setup

Before you schedule delivery, make sure your shop floor can handle the install. The KT-M150D requires a concrete slab at least 5.9 inches thick with a minimum rating of 3,000 PSI. 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.

You'll need a dedicated 220V/60Hz electrical circuit for the 4HP motor. Plan to have a qualified electrician handle the hookup. The overall height of the lift is 176.8 inches, so verify your ceiling clearance before installation to make sure the columns fit with room to spare for full extension.

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.

Applications

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 work on oversized vehicles without worrying about per-arm limits.

Municipal and Government Garages

Public works vehicles, utility trucks, and emergency rigs need reliable lifting infrastructure. The direct-drive system and heavy-gauge steel construction hold up under high-volume, day-in-day-out use.

Shipping

Our team coordinates freight shipping within the lower 48 states, with fulfillment times of 6-10 business days. Seasonal delays may extend delivery up to 3 weeks. Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii is available; contact us for a quote before ordering.

Two post lifts require a forklift for unloading. Make sure to select the correct shipped or pickup option before adding the item to your cart. If no forklift is available, we can arrange terminal delivery for pickup instead.

Residential delivery and liftgate service are each available for an additional fee. Liftgate service is not available for two post lifts; contact us to confirm before ordering.

Carefully inspect your order before signing the Bill of Lading. Note any visible damage or missing items on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

You'll need a concrete slab at least 5.9 inches thick with a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 PSI. 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.

What power supply does this two post lift require?

The KT-M150D runs on a 220V/60Hz circuit powering a 4HP (3KW) motor. You'll want a licensed electrician to set up a dedicated circuit. This is standard single-phase commercial power, which most shop environments already have available or can add without major electrical work.

How is the direct-drive system different from a chain-driven lift?

Direct-drive cylinders eliminate the chains and sprockets found in traditional two post lifts. That means fewer moving parts, smoother lift and lowering cycles, and less ongoing maintenance. You won't be dealing with chain tension adjustments or worn sprocket replacements over time, which keeps the lift running consistently under heavy daily use.

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

Yes. The 15,000 lb capacity is specifically 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 176.8 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 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.

How long does shipping take and do you deliver outside the lower 48?

Standard freight fulfillment within the lower 48 states takes 6-10 business days, though seasonal delays can extend that to up to 3 weeks. Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii is available, but you'll need to contact us for a quote before ordering since standard freight rates don't apply to those locations.

What does the warranty cover on the KT-M150D?

The manufacturer's warranty covers all product parts for 1 year and the product structure for 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.

What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged?

Do not sign for the delivery if you see visible damage or missing items. Note everything on the Bill of Lading before the driver leaves. For concealed damage discovered after the driver has gone, report it to our Customer Service team within 48 hours. If you sign without noting issues, the shipment is considered received in satisfactory condition.
