Key Features & Benefits

Electric Safety Lock Release

The 24V electric safety lock release eliminates air compressor requirements. Operates via pendant controller for controlled vehicle lowering. Standard 110V or 220V power is all that's needed—no shop air system required.

8,000 lb Capacity

This 8000 lb scissor lift exceeds the 6,000 lb rating on most mid rise auto scissor lifts. Handles full-size SUVs and light trucks without requiring full-rise equipment.

Portable Mid Rise Scissor Lift

Includes mobile caster kit for repositioning or storage. Anchor bolts provided for permanent fixed installation on concrete slab.

Drive-Up Ramps with Platform Extension

Lockable drive-up ramps provide easy vehicle loading and extend platform length for longer-wheelbase vehicles when locked in position.

Dual Safety System

10 mechanical locking positions plus hydraulic pressure holding. Height limit switch prevents over-extension. Self-lubricated bushings reduce maintenance.

CE Certified

CE certification confirms testing above rated capacity per European mechanical lift conformity requirements.

About the Brand

Katool

Katool scissor lifts are a popular choice for shops with low ceilings or limited floor space. Their mid-rise and full-rise scissor lifts provide stable, wide platforms for brake jobs, suspension work, and quick undercarriage access. Built with reinforced steel frames and reliable hydraulics, Katool scissor lifts offer strong lifting capacity in a compact footprint. They work great in service bays, detail shops, and home garages where a traditional two-post lift just isn't practical.
