ALI Certified 9,000 lb Heavy-Duty 4-Post Hobbyist Lift
Hobbyist 4-post lifts that top out at 7,000 or 8,000 lb leave you guessing every time you load a 3/4-ton work truck or a loaded SUV. You either upgrade to a heavier lift or limit what you can park on the lift you have. And without ALI certification, you're trusting a manufacturer's word — not an independent test.
The Atlas Apex 9 is a 9,000 lb 4-post lift with full ALI/ETL certification, giving you 1,000 lb of additional rated capacity over an 8,000 lb hobbyist lift and the certification record to back it up. The included caster kit makes the lift portable across the floor when you need the bay back.

9,000 lb Capacity for Heavier Vehicles
The extra 1,000 lb of rated capacity over an 8,000 lb hobbyist lift matters more than the number suggests. Full-size 3/4-ton trucks loaded with tools and accessories regularly cross the 7,500 lb mark in real-world weight, and large SUVs with passengers and gear sit higher than their advertised curb weight. The Apex 9 gives you the margin to stop guessing.
Combined with the ALI/ETL certification, the 9,000 lb rating is independently verified — not a manufacturer claim. ANSI/ALI ALCTV testing covers static load, dynamic load, and overload conditions, so the rating reflects how the lift behaves in service, not just on paper.
Portable Caster Kit and Included Accessories
The included caster kit with polyurethane wheels is what turns a four-post lift from a fixed installation into a piece of equipment that moves with your shop. Casters install or remove in minutes, and once they're on, one person can roll the entire lift across the floor to clear the bay or reposition for a different vehicle.
The lift includes steel approach ramps, a steel jack tray for a rolling bridge jack, 4 plastic drip trays to protect the floor underneath stored vehicles, and 2 rubber wheel chocks. The lift is functionally complete in one box — no separate ramp, tray, or chock orders to chase down.
The Right Lift for Your Shop
At 9,000 lb capacity with full ALI/ETL certification, the Apex 9 sits at the top of Atlas's portable hobbyist range. Full-size trucks, large SUVs, and project trucks that overload smaller hobbyist lifts run on the Apex 9 with the certified margin you need for storage stacking and overnight parking.
All major accessories are included — caster kit, steel ramps, steel jack tray, drip trays, and wheel chocks — so the lift is operational the day it's installed. 110V operation on a 30 amp breaker keeps the install simple in most existing garages.
