Herkules Scissor Lift and Crusher Guide

Every Herkules product in this collection runs on compressed air. There is no hydraulic power unit, no reservoir and no oil to leak, which matters most in paint and collision shops.

Choosing a Herkules Car Scissor Lift

Start with how low the lift must go and whether it must move between bays. Then pick frame lifting with swing arms or a full platform that carries the vehicle on its tires.

• K900 — 6,000 lbs, 4.125 in. closed, 29 in. raised. 38 x 50 in. platform, adjustable swing arms, automatic internal safety arm. Surface mount or recessed.
• K900P — Portable version of the K900: 6,000 lbs, 4.125 in. closed, 29 in. raised, with a built-in dolly handle and wheels and swivel swing arms.
• K900S — 5,000 lbs, 3.25 in. closed, 28.125 in. raised. Four removable ramps with a locking ramp system.
• L1200 — Mid rise scissor lift: 6,000 lbs, 4.6 in. closed, 36.125 in. raised. 44 x 67 in. platform, foot pedal control, surface mount or recessed.
• L1200P — Portable car lift: 6,000 lbs, 4.6 in. closed, 36 in. raised, six solid-steel safety stops and a dolly handle for one-person moves.
• L1200S — 5,000 lbs on an 80 x 151 in. scissor platform to 36 in. Lifts by tires and suspension, so the undercarriage stays clear.

Portable or Fixed

The K900P and L1200P roll on built-in wheels, so one person can move the lift to the next bay or store it against a wall. The K900, K900S, L1200 and L1200S stay in one bay, surface mounted or recessed flush with the floor.

Herkules FAQ

Does a pneumatic car lift hold the load on air alone?

No. The K900 uses an automatic internal safety arm, and the L1200P and L1200S use six solid-steel safety stops to hold the load mechanically.

Which Herkules lift goes lowest?

The K900S closes to 3.25 in. The K900 and K900P close to 4.125 in., and the L1200 and L1200P to 4.6 in.

How long is the air hose?

The K900, K900S, L1200, L1200P and L1200S list a 12 ft. air hose, so the operator stands clear while the lift moves.
