Stratus 4 Post Car Lift With Casters - SAE-P48-G3
You've got more cars than floor space. That's the problem this Stratus car lift solves. The SAE-P48-G3 is a 3rd generation 4 post car lift built to stack one vehicle over another, freeing up the bay you've been losing to your project car or your daily driver. With 8,000 lbs of capacity, it handles trucks, SUVs, and full-size sedans without flinching.
This is a 4 post car lift with casters, so it doesn't have to live in one spot. Roll it where you need it, park it against the wall when you don't. The included castor kit turns a fixed install into a movable 4 post car lift you can reposition as your garage layout changes. That flexibility is the whole point of a 4 post storage car lift, and Stratus builds it in from the start.
Where this lift earns its keep is the safety engineering. A hands-free lock release latch system, 11 locking positions, and cable failure protection that engages a second safety device automatically if the primary locks ever fall out of operation. The manual safety lock release keeps you in control of when and how the lift comes down. It's been proofed with a dynamic test at 115% of rated capacity and a static test at 150%.
If you've been searching for a 4 post car lift for sale that doubles as real storage, this car storage lift is the one to look at. Buy it from us and you get a single point of contact for parts, fitment questions, and freight coordination, no runaround.

- Drip Trays (3 pcs)

Installation & Setup
The power unit runs on a 3 HP, 110V, 60 Hz single-phase motor, so you can plug into standard shop power without a special service. Protect the circuit with a 30A breaker. Fill the hydraulic system with AW32 or AW46 oil.
Because this is a 4 post portable car lift riding on a castor kit, you're not anchoring into concrete to use it. That makes setup straightforward and lets you move the lift later if your layout changes. The relocatable power unit means you decide which side the controls live on. Confirm your ceiling clearance against the 95 1/2" overall height before delivery so the lift fits your space at full rise.
Applications
Stack two vehicles in one bay to reclaim floor space for a project car, a daily, or a seasonal ride you'd rather not park outside.
Keep a prized vehicle elevated and protected while you work on or park another underneath it. The diamond platform and drip trays keep things clean.
A mobile 4 post car lift that rolls out of the way when you need the floor and back into position when you don't.
Drive-on runways and multi-level locking make this a steady platform for oil changes, inspections, and under-vehicle access.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can the SAE-P48-G3 lift?
It carries up to 8,000 lbs, which covers most trucks, SUVs, and full-size sedans. It's been proofed with a dynamic test at 115% of rated capacity and a static test at 150%.
Does this 4 post car lift really move on casters?
Yes. It ships with a castor kit (set of 4) included, so you can roll the lift to reposition it. That's what makes it a true portable 4 post car lift rather than a fixed install.
What kind of power does it need?
The motor is 3 HP, 110V, 60 Hz single-phase, so it runs on standard shop power. Protect the circuit with a 30A breaker.
Do I need to bolt it to the concrete?
This is a free-standing 4 post storage car lift on casters, so it's not designed around concrete anchoring the way a 2 post lift is. Confirm your floor is level and rated for the load before use.
How tall does it lift, and will it fit my ceiling?
Max lifting height is 82 11/16" (2100 mm) and overall height is 95 1/2" (2426 mm). Measure your ceiling against the 95 1/2" overall height before ordering.
How long does it take to raise a vehicle?
Lifting time is about 45 seconds. There are 11 locking positions so you can stop at the height you need.
What safety features does it have?
A hands-free lock release latch system, 11 multi-level locking positions, a manual safety lock release, and cable failure protection that automatically engages a second safety device if the primary locks fall out of operation.
What hydraulic oil should I use?
Use AW32 or AW46 hydraulic oil. The power unit is relocatable, so you can set up the controls on the side that works for your space.
What comes in the box?
A rolling jack tray, the castor kit (set of 4), and 3 drip trays. An SAE-BJ5 rolling bridge jack and aluminum ramps are available as optional accessories.
How does it ship and is freight included?
Free shipping to the lower 48. It ships freight at 1,865 lbs in a 183" x 23" x 30" crate. You're responsible for unloading, and carriers allow a 30 minute window before extra charges apply.
