ALI Certified 12,000 lb 2-Post Lift — Commercial Grade, Extra Tall, Extra Wide
If you're running a professional shop, you need a lift that meets the highest safety standards — not just for your peace of mind, but for insurance, inspections, and liability. A non-certified lift might save money upfront, but it puts your shop at risk every time a vehicle goes up.
The Atlas Platinum PVL12 is an ALI Certified 12,000 lb overhead 2-post lift with 3-stage symmetric arms, direct-drive cylinders, adjustable column height up to 177", and a premium ALLY power unit. It's built for commercial shops that need certified safety, heavy-duty capacity, and the extra clearance to handle everything from passenger cars to box trucks.

ALI Certified — The Gold Standard in Lift Safety
ALI Certification isn't just a sticker — it means this lift has been independently tested and verified to meet ANSI/ALI ALCTV safety standards. For shop owners, that translates to documented proof of compliance for insurance requirements, OSHA inspections, and customer confidence.
Many shops are moving to ALI Certified equipment as insurance companies and regulatory bodies increase scrutiny on lift safety. The PVL12 gives you that certification at a price point that doesn't force you to choose between safety compliance and your equipment budget.
Premium ALLY Power Unit — Built for Commercial Duty Cycles
The included ALLY AL3500 power unit isn't a standard hydraulic pump. It's certified by MET Laboratories for electrical compliance in the US and Canada, with extra heavy-duty armatures and more motor windings that generate less heat under continuous use. The increased silver metal in wires and connections means the motor maintains constant torque through the entire lifting process — no slowdown at the top of the stroke when the load is heaviest.
This matters in a busy shop where the lift runs dozens of cycles per day. Less heat means longer motor life and more consistent performance under heavy duty cycles.
The Right Certified 2-Post Lift for Your Shop
The Atlas Platinum PVL12 gives you 12,000 lbs of ALI Certified capacity, 3-stage symmetric arms, adjustable height up to 14' 9", direct-drive cylinders, and a premium ALLY power unit — all in a commercial-grade package. With the included truck adapter set and mounting hardware, you're ready to install and start lifting on day one.
