Katool PMRL-200 Portable 2 Post Lift - Mobile Car Lift for Home Garages and Small Shops

Your garage ceiling won't clear a full-height two-post lift. You know it, and you've been working on creepers and jack stands because of it. The Katool PMRL-200 portable 2 post lift changes that equation. At just 72 in. of overall height, this mobile car lift fits under standard residential garage ceilings while still giving you real underbody access for brake jobs, exhaust work, suspension swaps, and fluid services.

What separates the PMRL-200 from typical portable lifts is the combination of genuine portability and serious construction. Each post rides on built-in casters, so you roll the columns into position, anchor them with drop-in bolts, and you're lifting. When the job's done, pull the anchors and the floor stays flat, no permanent holes chewing up your slab. The posts stow upright on their casters, freeing the bay for parking or other projects. You get a 7,000 lb capacity backed by 13 locking positions across the lift range, all powered by a 3 HP single-phase 110V power unit that runs off a standard household outlet.

The hydraulic pump sits on its own portable cart, so you're not routing permanent hydraulic lines through the garage. Everything breaks down and moves. That's the pitch: full two-post functionality when you need it, full garage floor when you don't. Katool built the PMRL-200 from alloy steel with heavy-gauge structural components throughout, so the portability doesn't come at the cost of rigidity under load. If you've been waiting for a two-post lift that actually works in a home garage without a major renovation, this is the one to look at.

Installation & Setup

The PMRL-200 is designed for straightforward installation without permanent modifications to your garage floor. Position the lift columns where you need them, drop in the anchor bolts, connect the hydraulic lines to the portable pump cart, and plug the 110V power unit into a standard household outlet. No special wiring, no three-phase power, no electrician visit required.

When you're done lifting, the anchor bolts pull out and leave a flat floor surface. The columns roll on their built-in casters for repositioning or storage. Keep in mind that the unit ships at 1,100 lb, so you'll need a forklift on-site for unloading. Delivery arrives Monday through Friday via box truck or dock-height flatbed trailer, with same-day or 24-hour advance contact from the carrier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Katool PMRL-200 fit in a standard residential garage?

Yes. The PMRL-200 stands 72 in. (6 ft) tall at full height, which clears most standard residential garage ceilings with room to spare. Measure your ceiling height before ordering to confirm clearance with a vehicle on the lift at your expected working height.

What kind of electrical hookup does this lift need?

The PMRL-200 runs on a standard 110V single-phase outlet, the same type found in any household garage. No special wiring or three-phase power is required. The 3 HP motor draws from the portable power unit that plugs directly into the outlet.

Do I need to permanently bolt this lift to my garage floor?

No. The PMRL-200 uses 8 drop-in anchor bolts that secure the columns during use but pull out when you're finished. The floor stays flat with no permanent holes, so you can park on the same slab when the lift is stowed.

How heavy is this lift and what do I need for unloading?

The PMRL-200 ships at 1,100 lb. You'll need a forklift on-site for unloading from the delivery truck. Delivery arrives Monday through Friday on a box truck or dock-height flatbed, and the carrier contacts you same-day or within 24 hours to coordinate.

Can I move the lift between different locations?

Yes. Each column has built-in casters for rolling into position, and the hydraulic pump rides on its own portable cart. Once the drop-in anchors are removed, the columns can be rolled and stored upright, making the entire system relocatable.

How many locking positions does the PMRL-200 have?

The lift has 13 locking positions across its full range of travel, giving you the flexibility to set your working height precisely for different tasks. Each position engages mechanically to hold the vehicle securely independent of hydraulic pressure.

What type of vehicles can this lift handle?

With a 7,000 lb capacity, the PMRL-200 handles most passenger cars, compact SUVs, crossovers, and light trucks. Always verify your vehicle's gross weight against the rated capacity before lifting, and position the arms on manufacturer-recommended lift points.

What does the warranty cover on the PMRL-200?

Katool backs the PMRL-200 with a 3-year limited warranty. Warranty registration may be required after purchase. Check the included documentation for specific coverage terms and any exclusions that apply to wear components or misuse.
