Stratus MS9000XT Mid Rise Scissor Car Lift

You've got a low-clearance bay, a mixed fleet, and a lift that always seems to top out before you can stand up straight under the car. The Stratus SAE-MS9000XT is the extra-wide, extra-tall answer to that problem. This mid rise scissor car lift climbs to 47 1/4 inches and locks into nine separate positions, so you set the height the job needs instead of fighting whatever single stop a cheaper unit gives you.

It's a commercial grade, open-center mobile design. The open center keeps the underside of the vehicle clear, so you're reaching exhaust, oil pans, and transmission work without a frame rail in your way. When the job's done, the included mobile kit lets you roll it out of the bay and reclaim the floor. That's the case for a mobile scissor car lift over a fixed four-post in a shop that has to share space.

Safety runs on a 24V low-voltage control system with an electrical safety lock release and a lock-fail sensor, managed by a Programmable Logic Controller. Order it in 110V or 220V to match the power you already have. As a portable scissor car lift built for a working bay, the MS9000XT gives you the reach of a tall lift and the flexibility of a unit you can move, which is what makes it one of the more practical car scissor lift options for a shop that can't dedicate a permanent footprint.

What's Included

No guessing what shows up on the pallet. Here's what comes with the lift.

  • 8 rubber pads - 4 each in 1 3/8" and 2 3/8" thickness
  • Mobile kit for rolling the lift between bays

Approaching ramps, a 4" extension, and a support bar are available as separate add-ons. Call to confirm any optional accessory before you order.

Installation & Setup

This is a mobile unit, so you're not pouring a slab or anchoring to the floor. What you do need to sort out before delivery is power. The 3 HP motor runs on single-phase 60 Hz and ships configured for either 110V or 220V, so pick the voltage that matches your bay. Plan a 20A or 30A breaker depending on the control unit you run.

The hydraulics use AW32 or AW46 oil through a dual-cylinder structure with anti-surge valves, and the bushings and bearings are self-lubricating, so there's less routine fuss once it's running. Confirm your overhead clearance handles the full 47 1/4 inch rise plus the height of the vehicle before you commit a bay to it.

Applications

Independent Service Shops

If you're rotating a mixed bag of cars, trucks, and SUVs through limited bays, a mobile scissor car lift that rolls out of the way at end of day earns its footprint twice over.

Tire and Brake Work

The open center and nine lock positions give you clean wheel access at a comfortable working height, so you're not hunched over for a full set of rotations.

Performance and Restoration

Builders who need real standing room under the car get it here. The extra-tall reach makes underbody, exhaust, and suspension work far less of a contortion act.

Multi-Use Garages

Shops that can't dedicate a permanent lift bay use a portable scissor car lift to free the floor for storage, detailing, or a second vehicle whenever the lift's idle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the maximum lifting height?

The MS9000XT raises to 47 1/4 inches (1200 mm), which is what earns it the extra-tall label. It locks at nine positions ranging from 18 3/4 inches up to 45 1/2 inches, so you can set a comfortable working height instead of being stuck at one stop.

How much weight can it hold?

Rated capacity is 9,000 lbs, which covers the vast majority of cars, light trucks, and SUVs. Always check your vehicle's curb weight against that number before lifting.

Does it need to be bolted to the floor?

No. This is a mobile design and ships with a mobile kit so you can roll it between bays or out of the way. You don't anchor it down, which is the main reason shops choose it over a fixed lift.

What power supply does it require?

It runs a 3 HP single-phase 60 Hz motor available in 110V or 220V. Plan for a 20A or 30A breaker depending on the control unit. Pick the voltage that matches your existing bay wiring.

How long does it take to lift a vehicle?

Full lift time is around 40 seconds. The dual-cylinder hydraulic system with anti-surge valves keeps the rise steady and even.

What accessories come with it?

You get 8 rubber pads (4 each in 1 3/8 inch and 2 3/8 inch thickness) and the mobile kit. Approaching ramps, a 4-inch extension, and a support bar are available separately if you need them.

How low does it go for loading?

Minimum height is 4 3/4 inches (121 mm). With the approaching ramps added, lower-clearance vehicles can drive on without scraping.

What safety features does it have?

It uses an electrical safety lock release with a lock-fail sensor, all managed by a Programmable Logic Controller on a 24V low-voltage control system. The mechanical locks hold the platform at each of the nine positions.

Will it fit in a low-ceiling garage?

It can, but measure first. You need clearance for the full 47 1/4 inch rise plus the height of the tallest vehicle you plan to lift. Confirm your overhead space before dedicating a bay.

How is it shipped and what does it weigh?

It ships freight on a pallet. The platform crate weighs 1,318 lbs and the control panel adds 132 lbs. Plan to have help or equipment on hand to unload.
