Katool KT-SPL700 Single Post Lift Overview

You've got a bay that can't fit a two-post lift, or a home garage where every square foot counts. The Katool KT-SPL700 single post lift solves that problem with a compact, portable design that still handles 7,000 lbs of lifting capacity. Cars, SUVs, light trucks. One column, full undercarriage access, and caster wheels so you can reposition the whole unit when the job's done.

Standard 110V power means you're not rewiring your shop or calling an electrician. Plug into a 30-amp breaker and you're lifting. The hydraulic system delivers smooth, controlled cycles up to a max height of 71-2/3 inches, giving you real working room underneath for brake jobs, suspension work, exhaust repairs, and fluid services. An automatic safety lock system engages at every height, so once the vehicle is up, it stays up.

Heavy-duty alloy steel construction keeps this lift rigid under load, and the adjustable lifting pads accommodate a wide range of vehicle widths. Low-profile drive-on arms handle low-clearance vehicles that would bottom out on a standard ramp. Whether you're running a mobile service operation, equipping a specialty shop, or upgrading your home garage, the KT-SPL700 gives you professional lifting capability without the permanent footprint of a traditional two-post setup.

Applications

Home Garages

Fits where a two-post can't. The single-column design and caster wheels let you roll the lift out of the way when you need your bay back for parking or other projects.

Specialty & Detail Shops

Full wheel and undercarriage access makes brake, suspension, and exhaust work straightforward. Low-profile arms handle sports cars and lowered vehicles without scraping.

Mobile Service Operations

Portable construction with caster wheels means you can reposition the lift between bays or job sites. One operator, one standard outlet, and you're working.

Fleet & Light Commercial Maintenance

7,000 lb capacity covers SUVs, vans, and light trucks. Run through routine maintenance on mixed fleets without needing a permanent in-ground or two-post installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What power supply does the KT-SPL700 require?

The KT-SPL700 runs on standard 110V single-phase power with a dedicated 30-amp breaker. No three-phase wiring or special electrical panel upgrades are needed, so most home garages and commercial shops can plug it in without modification.

What types of vehicles can this single post lift handle?

With a 7,000 lb capacity and adjustable pad reach from 39-1/2 inches to 81 inches (column to offside), the KT-SPL700 accommodates cars, SUVs, and light trucks. Low-profile drive-on arms also make it compatible with low-clearance and lowered vehicles.

How much ceiling height do I need for installation?

The overall height of the unit is 102-3/4 inches (8 feet, 6-3/4 inches). You'll need at least that much ceiling clearance in your bay or garage. Keep in mind you also want enough overhead room for the vehicle at max lift height for comfortable work access underneath.

Is hydraulic fluid included with the lift?

No. You'll need to supply 3 to 5 gallons of AW32 or AW46 hydraulic fluid before first use. This is a standard fluid type available at most auto parts stores and industrial suppliers.

Can I move the lift between bays or locations?

Yes. The KT-SPL700 features a portable single-post design with built-in caster wheels. You can reposition it within your shop or roll it out of the way when the bay is needed for other work. The unit weighs 1,900 lbs at shipping weight, so repositioning on a flat surface is manageable but the initial placement requires a forklift.

What adapters come with the lift?

The KT-SPL700 includes four 2.75-inch adapters and four 6-inch adapters, all with a 2-inch peg size. These give you flexibility to match different vehicle lift point heights without purchasing additional accessories.

How is the lift delivered, and what do I need to unload it?

The KT-SPL700 ships via freight within the lower 48 states. You'll need a forklift or dock access for unloading, as the shipping weight is 1,900 lbs. If you don't have a forklift on-site, terminal delivery for customer pick-up can be arranged. Residential delivery and liftgate service may be available for an additional fee; contact us before ordering to confirm.

What does the warranty cover?

Katool provides a one-year warranty on all product parts and a three-year warranty on product structure. Warranty replacement parts ship free. Labor costs are not included. Warranty registration may be required after purchase, so check your included documentation once the lift arrives.
