Revolutionary Surface Mounting Eliminates Pit Construction
The breakthrough low-profile surface mounting design delivers pit lift functionality without the massive expense and disruption of traditional in-ground installations. No excavation, no concrete pours, no drainage systems, and no structural modifications to existing shop floors are required.
This surface-mounted approach transforms installation from a major construction project into a straightforward equipment setup. The lift bolts directly to existing concrete floors with proper preparation, eliminating weeks of downtime and thousands of dollars in construction costs associated with traditional pit lifts.
The low-profile design means minimal impact on shop traffic flow and workspace organization. Unlike tall above-ground lifts that create obstacles, this system maintains clear sight lines and easy movement around the service bay when not in use.
Professional 6,600 Pound Capacity
The substantial 6,600 lb lifting capacity handles virtually every passenger vehicle and light truck that enters typical service bays. From subcompact economy cars to full-size pickup trucks and SUVs, this capacity provides comfortable safety margins while accommodating fully-loaded vehicles.
Automatic Safety Systems with Pneumatic Control
Automatic safety locks engage throughout the lifting range, providing mechanical backup protection independent of hydraulic pressure. These locks activate automatically as the lift rises, ensuring vehicles remain securely supported even during system maintenance or unexpected pressure loss.
The pneumatic release system allows quick, convenient lock disengagement for lowering operations. Pneumatic control eliminates manual release mechanisms that can be awkward or difficult to operate, especially when working around lifted vehicles in tight spaces.
Multiple locking positions throughout the 28-1/2" lifting range provide flexibility for different service procedures. Technicians can position vehicles at optimal working heights for specific tasks rather than being limited to maximum lift height for all procedures.
The combination of automatic engagement and pneumatic release creates the ideal balance of safety and convenience for busy service operations where efficiency and protection are equally important.
Adjustable Runway System Maximizes Versatility
The innovative adjustable runway spacing from 0 to 29-1/2 inches accommodates dramatically different vehicle configurations. Narrow sports cars, standard passenger vehicles, and wide pickup trucks all fit properly with optimal weight distribution and stability.
Optimal Working Height for Professional Service
The 28-1/2" maximum lifting height (30" with adapters) positions vehicles at the ideal height for undercarriage service work. This height eliminates the back strain and awkward positioning required when working on vehicles supported by floor jacks or drive-on ramps.
The 4-1/4" minimum pad height allows easy drive-on access for low-profile vehicles including sports cars, lowered vehicles, and cars with front air dams. The gentle approach angle prevents scraping or damage during positioning while maintaining adequate ground clearance for most vehicles.
Included rubber riser blocks provide additional height flexibility and protect vehicle contact points from damage. These blocks accommodate different frame configurations and lifting point requirements while preventing scratches or dents to painted surfaces.
The 53-inch pad length provides extensive support for various wheelbase configurations, ensuring stable vehicle positioning regardless of weight distribution or frame design.
Efficient Operation with Standard Power
Standard 110V single-phase power with 20-amp requirements works with typical shop electrical systems. No special three-phase power or high-voltage installations are needed, making this lift accessible for shops with standard electrical service.
The 40-second lifting cycle provides reasonable speed for service operations without consuming excessive power or creating hydraulic system stress. This cycle time balances productivity with system longevity, ensuring reliable operation over thousands of lift cycles.
The 18-inch runway width provides adequate tire support while maintaining a narrow profile that doesn't interfere with technician movement or tool access around lifted vehicles. This width accommodates tire sizes from compact car wheels to light truck tires without compromising stability.
Professional Construction for Daily Use
The 770-pound shipping weight reflects substantial construction designed for commercial service environments. This isn't lightweight equipment - it's engineered for shops that depend on reliable lifting capability for consistent revenue generation.
The robust hydraulic system handles frequent cycling under varying load conditions while maintaining consistent performance. Professional-grade components ensure reliable operation under the demanding conditions typical of busy service operations.
For independent shops, quick-lube operations, and service centers needing professional vehicle access without the expense and complexity of traditional pit installations, the PL6 represents the perfect balance of capability, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.
The surface-mounted design makes this lift suitable for rental facilities, temporary installations, and shops that may need to relocate equipment in the future. This flexibility protects your investment while providing professional capability.
Add the ATD PL6 Low-Rise Pit Lift to your cart today and transform your undercarriage service capabilities with professional lifting equipment that delivers pit lift functionality without the construction headaches and massive costs of traditional in-ground systems.
