Atlas FP8 Runway Gap Filler Kit — Close the Deck on Your 8k 4-Post Lift
A 4-post lift gets the vehicle in the air, but the open gap between the runways becomes wasted space — and a potential drop hazard for tools, parts bins, or anything you'd want to stage on top of the lift. Filling that gap with a proper panel set turns the lift's upper level into a flat work surface or overhead storage shelf.
The Atlas FP8 is the factory-engineered floor panel kit for Atlas 8,000 lb capacity 4-post lifts. It's a complete 8-piece set — 6 middle panels plus 2 end pieces — that closes the entire runway gap. Each panel section is rated for 400 lb capacity, so the assembled top deck supports parts, tires, batteries, or a workbench-style platform without sagging.

Why a Full Floor Panel Set Pays Off
The runway gap on a 4-post lift is usually around 37" wide — wide enough that a dropped wrench or socket can fall straight to the floor below. Without a panel set, the upper level of the lift is functionally unusable for anything you can't strap down to the runway itself. Adding the FP8 transforms that gap into a flat, load-bearing shelf.
For shops, that means seasonal tire storage above the vehicle bay — 32 tires sit comfortably on the assembled deck. For home garages using the lift as a stacking shelter (one car parked, another stored above), the panels let you walk safely between the runways to check fluid levels or wipe down the underside of the upper car.
Direct-Fit Compatibility with Atlas 8k Lifts
Atlas built the FP8 specifically for the PRO8000 series and the APEX8 — runway thickness of 4" and a gap of 37.25" between the inside edges. Drop-in fit means no cutting, no shimming, and no measuring whether your particular runway width is going to match.
The 6 middle panels plus 2 end pieces cover the full runway length, and the end pieces are tapered to sit flush against the cross-bracing. The lightweight design means one person can install the entire deck in a single afternoon, then pull individual sections out later if the lift's center jack tray needs to come into play.
The Right Floor Panel Set for Your Shop
At 400 lb per section across the full 8-piece deck, the FP8 turns wasted runway gap into legitimate storage real estate. The dimensions are sized to Atlas 8k spec, so the panels drop in without modification.
For Atlas PRO8000, PRO8000EXT, PRO8000EXT-L, and APEX8 owners, this is the factory-engineered answer to the runway-gap question — no measuring, no fitment guesswork, just a complete set ready to install.
