Lowered, the runways come down to \u003cstrong\u003e6 11\/16″\u003c\/strong\u003e — low enough that an ordinary car climbs the ramps without dragging a chin spoiler across the deck edge. Raised, it gives \u003cstrong\u003e68 1\/2″ of height underneath the runway\u003c\/strong\u003e, the number that decides whether you stand under the car or crouch.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBetween those, the runways adjust \u003cstrong\u003esteplessly\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than in fixed holes — 43 5\/16″ apart as delivered, with an adjustment span this page prints as 39 3\/8″ to 51 3\/16″. One lift therefore takes a small hatchback and a wide-track pickup without either sitting off-centre on the deck. Rated at 12,000 lbs, it is a shop lift that doubles as a parking lift. The spacing figures come with a caveat, and it is the next thing to read.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eOne spacing figure on this page is not credible, and four others are contested\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eStart with the one that is plainly wrong on its own terms. The minimum this page gives for the outside edge of the runways is no wider than the gap printed between them, which cannot describe a deck with runways on it. It has the signature of a dropped leading digit, and the same defect appears across AMGO's four-post line. It is left in the table below and labelled doubtful rather than quietly corrected: inventing a replacement spacing would be the more dangerous mistake.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfirm the runway spacing with us in writing before you order a rolling jack, a drip tray, a caster kit or anything that sits between the runways or straddles them.\u003c\/strong\u003e Accessories are bought against exactly this number.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeparately, AMGO's current specification disagrees with four more figures: a longer overall length including ramps (so the bay allowance below is the tighter of the two), a heavier gross weight, and a different span for both the width between the runways and their outside edges. It also names dimension B differently — we call that letter the overall length without ramps, the maker calls it the outside edge of the crossbeams. We assert neither side; other sellers have republished our figures unchanged for years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy the lowered height is the number people forget\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlmost every four-post comparison is made on capacity and lifted height, and almost every complaint afterwards is about the ramp. A tall deck needs a long approach to keep the ramp angle sane; if the deck is high and the ramp short, the vehicle grounds where the ramp meets the runway. The PRO-12's \u003cstrong\u003e6 11\/16″ minimum height\u003c\/strong\u003e shortens that at the source, and it matters for storage too: a lower deck means the car parked on top starts lower, leaving more ceiling for the one underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow the load is carried, and what catches a failure\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe PRO-12 is \u003cstrong\u003ecable-driven with aircraft-standard cable\u003c\/strong\u003e and held by a \u003cstrong\u003emechanical self-locking safety device with an air-driven lock release\u003c\/strong\u003e. Once set down onto its locks, steel carries the vehicle and the hydraulics only hold position — a hydraulic leak on a locked lift is an inconvenience rather than a descent.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo systems cover the ways a cable lift goes wrong. \u003cstrong\u003ePrimary multiple safety locks\u003c\/strong\u003e mean each carriage is never far above a hard stop. The \u003cstrong\u003ecable-slack protection system\u003c\/strong\u003e senses a cable gone loose — stretched, jumped its sheave, or failed — and stops the lift rather than letting three corners keep going while the fourth does not; on a four-post that is the failure you cannot see from the control station. The cylinder has high-quality oil seals and a compensation valve, the power unit is \u003cstrong\u003eETL certified\u003c\/strong\u003e as standard, and the decks are \u003cstrong\u003enon-skid diamond plate\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill it fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eMeasuring the bay is the buyer's job.

That is a listing on an electrical component, not an independent third-party safety listing of the complete lift, and the two are frequently blurred.

The crated lift is listed here at 2,337 lbs and the maker publishes a heavier figure, so plan against the larger; either way two people are not moving it off a trailer. The carrier brings a standard deck and the receiver gets the freight onto the ground. A forklift makes short work of it. Without one, take terminal pickup, or collect from an AMGO warehouse location shown below. Deliveries to a residential address carry a residential fee, displayed at checkout. Look the crate over with the driver present: torn wrap, crushed corners, cut banding or a load that has moved goes onto the bill of lading before you sign. Photographs at the tailgate settle a freight claim later.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAMGO provides a written warranty document for this equipment and we will send you the current version before you buy if the detail matters.
