The OH-18 is supplied with \u003cstrong\u003ethree overall height settings — 174″, 186″ and 198″\u003c\/strong\u003e — so the column and overhead assembly is matched to the building rather than the building being matched to the lift. A shop with a low roof and a shop with a tall one buy the same model.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnderneath that flexibility is a heavy machine: \u003cstrong\u003e18,000 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e of capacity, a clearfloor layout with nothing crossing the bay at ground level, dual direct-drive hydraulic cylinders and long carriages that spread the load up the columns rather than concentrating it.

The required slab thickness, strength and condition are in the installation manual attached to this listing; read it before you order. If the slab is unknown, cracked or sitting over an expansion joint where the columns need to go, resolve that first.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePower.\u003c\/strong\u003e The power unit is 2.0 HP running at 220V single phase.

That is the trade the overhead beam buys you. Practically it means a transmission jack rolls straight through, a creeper does not stop halfway, and you can sweep the bay in one pass.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe beam also carries the \u003cstrong\u003eoverhead safety shut-off\u003c\/strong\u003e, which stops the lift when a vehicle's roof reaches the beam. That is a mechanical answer to the single most common two-post accident: raising a tall vehicle into the structure above it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eLocks, arms and the details that decide how it feels to use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnlocking a two-post is normally a two-person or two-trip job — one column at a time. The OH-18 uses a \u003cstrong\u003emanual single-point safety release that unlocks both columns from one side\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the lift comes down from where you are standing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe arms are \u003cstrong\u003etwo-stage rugged arms with automatic restraints\u003c\/strong\u003e that lock into position as the vehicle is raised and release when it is lowered, so the arms cannot swing out from under a load. The equalising cables use AMGO's aero sync cables with their \u003cstrong\u003e3 in 1 technology\u003c\/strong\u003e, and lift is provided by \u003cstrong\u003edual direct-drive hydraulic cylinders\u003c\/strong\u003e with high-quality seals. Direct drive is the relevant word: the cylinder acts on the carriage rather than through a chain multiplier, which means fewer wear items in the load path on a lift rated at 18,000 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo pad types come as standard — the regular rubber pads and heavy-duty saddle adapters — so a unibody car and a body-on-frame truck can both be picked up correctly on the day the lift is commissioned.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWorking height\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaximum lifting height at the top of the pad is listed on this page as 75 1\/4″ without the extension adapters and 81 1\/4″ with them, the 6.75 ft figure quoted in the specifications \u003cem\u003e(the with-adapter figure is disputed — see below)\u003c\/em\u003e.
