On AMGO's standard 8,000 lb parking lift the maximum underneath height is a little under six feet. On the 408-HP it is \u003cstrong\u003e82 15\/16″ - which our own product overview rounds to 83″\u003c\/strong\u003e - and the lift stands 96 5\/8″ overall. That is the difference between storing a low car underneath and parking a full-height SUV or crew-cab pickup under it, which for most buyers is the entire reason to own a parking lift.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second thing worth knowing: this lift is offered with a \u003cstrong\u003e1.0HP motor running on ordinary 110V\/60Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as a 2.0HP unit on 220V\/60Hz. A garage with no 220V circuit and no appetite for an electrician's invoice can still run it. It is slower on 110V, and the published cycle times are set out below.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eHold these against your own building before you order.

Plan against the larger and confirm with us if your bay is tight.

The specification sheet quotes 98 seconds on 110V and 46 seconds on 220V; the product overview quotes 83 seconds and 31 seconds for the same two configurations; AMGO's current specification gives a single lifting time rather than a 110V\/220V pair. Three sources, three readings, and the gaps are wider than rounding — so we do not put cycle speed forward as a reason to buy this lift. The shape of the decision is not in doubt, though: on a lift used to park a car once a day, cycle time matters far less than not having to rewire a garage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo further figures on this page differ from AMGO's current specification: the maker publishes a lighter gross weight than the pair shown below, and a lower minimum height — the drive-on clearance. Each reading is given in the tables against the source that publishes it, so you can see exactly what you are planning against.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfirm the minimum height and the gross weight with us in writing before you commit to a low-clearance drive-on or book equipment to unload the crates.\u003c\/strong\u003e The first decides whether your car reaches the ramp; the second decides what has to be in the yard on delivery day.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA concealed lock control, released from one place\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAMGO's safety lock control device is a patented concealed design with a manual single-point release. The mechanism is not exposed to the dust, grit and road salt a garage floor accumulates — what usually kills a lock linkage over a decade — and all four locks are freed from one position rather than one column at a time. On a lift whose job is to hold a vehicle up for weeks rather than minutes, that deserves more attention than the capacity figure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDouble-S columns and back-to-back installation\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe columns use a double-S profile rather than a plain box section. Folding steel into more corners buys stiffness without buying thickness — the principle that makes a corrugated panel stiffer than a flat one — and on a parking lift that stiffness keeps the runways from working out of level over years of standing loaded.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 408-HP also supports back-to-back installation, the feature nobody explains. Two lifts share a run of floor nose to nose instead of each needing its own clearance, so a deep garage holds four vehicles in the footprint of two. If that is the plan, tell us before you order — it changes the layout to measure for.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHome garages storing a truck or SUV underneath\u003c\/strong\u003e - what the extra underneath height was designed for.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCollectors\u003c\/strong\u003e doubling a deep garage, particularly back-to-back.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGarages without 220V\u003c\/strong\u003e, thanks to the 110V motor option.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLight service work\u003c\/strong\u003e - brakes, exhaust, tyres, undercarriage.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the crate\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFour double-S columns and two non-slip platforms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFoldable drive-in ramps, standard\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAMGO ETL certified power unit, standard rather than optional\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe patented concealed safety lock control device with manual single-point release\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAero-standard cables and the hydraulic cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA pull rope, standard\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot supplied: anchors are specified in the manual, and the electrical circuit and slab work are yours.

It is not a safety listing covering the complete lift, and the product data we hold does not claim one. For a home garage and most independent shops the distinction never comes up; it does for some insurance policies, fleet and municipal operations, and jurisdictions whose code names a specific listing.

Four columns, two runways and a set of ramps make a long, heavy load, and getting it off the trailer is the receiver's job: a forklift with the capacity and reach for a runway crate, or a collection from the carrier's local terminal. Residential delivery carries a residential fee, added at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect the load before you sign. Sight along the runway edges for bends, check the ramps and column ends for crush damage, count the crates against the paperwork, and write what you find on the bill of lading with the driver still there. Photograph it too. Once you sign clean, the carrier holds proof that everything arrived intact.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAMGO warrants the structural, hydraulic and electrical parts on separate terms; ask us for the current written terms before you buy if the detail matters.
