Atlas 9KBPX Baseplate Two Post Lift

Atlas 9KBPX Baseplate Two Post Lift 
9,000 lbs. Capacity Light Commercial Grade 

The Atlas 9KBPX is a base-plate two-post lift designed for low ceiling garages. The total column height of 111-1/2″ (9 feet 3-1/2 inches) allows this lift to be installed in almost any professional or home garage with a ceiling as low as 9 feet 6 inches.

The Atlas 9KBPX features dual hydraulic chain-drive cylinders, symmetric arms, and automatic arm restraints. Atlas 9KBPX two post “chain over roller” lifts have a spring loaded Secondary Lock System (SLS) that automatically engages in the event of a slack or broken chain.

Dual Point Lock Release – One of the features of this lift is the dual-point lock release. The dual-point lock release features locks in both columns. The lock cable in both columns must be pulled to release the locks.

Chain-Over-Roller Cylinder Configuration – This 2-post lift has the chain-over-roller cylinder configuration. There are two popular hydraulic cylinder configurations used in two post electric/hydraulic above ground lifts: Greg Smith Equipment sells above ground lifts that incorporate both the direct drive cylinder configuration and the chain-over-roller cylinder configuration. The base plate two post above ground lift implements the chain-over-roller configuration. This is the only hydraulic cylinder system that is possible in the base plate lift. The base plate two post above ground is designed for “low ceilings”. The direct drive hydraulic cylinder configuration cannot be used in the base plate lift because the hydraulic cylinder would extend above the 9′ column when the lift arms were raised to the maximum height. The “overhead” two post above ground lift may incorporate either the direct drive hydraulic cylinder or the chain-over-roller hydraulic cylinder.

Symmetric Arm Design – This lift includes a symmetric column configuration to offer the widest possible Drive Thru. This base-plate above ground lift has symmetric arms to allow easy access to both sides of the vehicle.

Automatic Arm Restraints – are needed to keep the arm “locked” into a position relative to the carriage. When the arms are at rest in the lowest position, the arm restraint pin (which extends below the carriage) is pressed up and the lock (teeth) mechanism is disengaged. The operator can then move the arms so that the lift pads can be properly positioned under the vehicle’s lift points. Once the carriage is raised (approximately 2 inches) the lock is reengaged and the arms cannot be moved. However, the operator may pull the knob or metal ring to manually unlock the arms. Lock restraints do not guarantee that a vehicle cannot be “moved” off of the lift pads. Operator should use care when working on vehicles that have an abundant amount of undercoating (lift pads may “slide”) or a significant weight imbalance of the vehicle may occur due to removal of an engine or transmission. Also, “HEAVY wrenching” may result in a vehicle shifting weight on the arm pads. We recommend the use of tall jack stands under the vehicle to add another layer of safety.
