Katool KT-X80-Electric – Scissor Lift (Mid-Rise)
Katool KT-X80-ELECTRIC - Mid-Rise Scissor Lift for Home Garages & Small Shops
The Katool KT-X80-ELECTRIC is an 8,000 lb mid-rise hydraulic scissor lift for passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks in garages and small workshops with limited ceiling height. Features a durable electric safety lock system, dual-voltage flexibility (110 V or 220 V), and a compact footprint that works in standard garage bays.
Key Features & Benefits
Electric Safety Lock System
The KT-X80-ELECTRIC features a patented electric safety lock release with 24 V low-voltage control that delivers automatic, fail-safe engagement without requiring a separate air compressor. The lock engages instantly when the lift rises, eliminating manual adjustment during brake, tire, and suspension service.
This enables safer undercarriage access without compressor dependency, reducing installation complexity in home garages. The quick-release operator control provides instant pressure release while maintaining full holding strength during active service operations.
Dual-Voltage Power Flexibility (110 V / 220 V)
The KT-X80-ELECTRIC operates on standard household voltage (110 V single-phase) or commercial voltage (220 V single-phase) with a 60 Hz motor, allowing buyers to match the lift to existing electrical infrastructure without costly rewiring.
Whether you're setting up a dedicated home workshop or a quick-service bay in a small shop, the lift fits your existing power infrastructure from day one.
Compact Mid-Rise Design with Maximum Working Height
The KT-X80-ELECTRIC starts at a low 4.25" collapsed height and rises to 41.25" maximum lift height, providing meaningful undercarriage access in garages where full two-post lifts are impractical. The overall footprint measures 73.25" wide and 80" long with drive-up ramps, fitting standard single-car garage bays.
This compact design enables work on low-profile vehicles (sports cars, sedans) without clearance concerns while still supporting 8,000 lb vehicles and light trucks.
Mobile & Fixed-Mount Flexibility
The KT-X80-ELECTRIC includes a standard mobile caster kit, enabling the same lift to be used as a movable asset or permanently anchored to the floor. This dual-configuration capability gives workshops flexibility without purchasing multiple units.
The mobility hardware allows the lift to be wheeled into position for service work, then moved aside when bay space is needed for detailing, parts storage, or vehicle staging.
CE-Certified with Verified Load-Testing Margins
The KT-X80-ELECTRIC carries CE approval and is tested to 115% of dynamic load and 150% of static load above its 8,000 lb working capacity. This provides quantifiable safety margins of 9,200 lb dynamic and 12,000 lb static.
The documented margins mean the lift handles occasional overload scenarios without risk of structural failure, making it a safer choice for environments where load variability is common.
Included Composite Lifting Blocks & Lockable Ramps
The KT-X80-ELECTRIC comes with composite rubber lifting blocks and drive-up ramps with locking extension design, enabling most vehicles to be loaded and supported safely without immediate accessory purchases. The composite blocks protect vehicle undercarriage components from damage.
The locking ramp design supports both standard and extended-wheelbase vehicles without requiring adapter changes or repositioning.
Applications & Use Cases
- Home & Enthusiast Garages: DIY automotive work, tire rotations, brake service, and undercarriage maintenance on vehicles up to 8,000 lb where ceiling height limits two-post lifts
- Small Commercial Workshops: Quick-service bays, detail shops, and small transmission/suspension shops needing compact mid-rise access
- Tire & Brake Service: Wheel removal, tire rotation, brake pad replacement, and brake system inspection
- Suspension & Undercarriage Work: Light suspension checks, component removal, oil changes, and undercarriage cleaning
- Detailing & Paint Protection: Full access to rocker panels, wheel wells, and undercarriage for deep cleaning and protective coatings
