The PRO-18 does not. Its platforms adjust \u003cstrong\u003esteplessly\u003c\/strong\u003e — not in notches, not with shims, anywhere you like — across a range that runs from \u003cstrong\u003e43 3\/8″\u003c\/strong\u003e to \u003cstrong\u003e101 3\/4″\u003c\/strong\u003e measured across the outside edges, with 95 1\/4″ as the everyday setting. That single mechanical choice is the reason this lift covers a fleet yard's whole mix, from a service van to a dual-rear-wheel one-ton, on the same pair of posts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAround that sits an \u003cstrong\u003e18,000 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e capacity, a 2.0 HP power unit, and a 3,483 lbs shipping weight that tells you honestly what class of machine you are buying.

The number that governs your roof is your tallest vehicle's height plus the rise you intend to use, never the height of the lift on its own.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePower and floor.\u003c\/strong\u003e The power unit is 2.0 HP and needs a dedicated circuit run by an electrician. The concrete requirement — thickness, strength and condition under the anchor pattern — is stated in the installation manual attached to this listing, and it is worth reading before you buy rather than on install day. If you do not know what your slab is, find out. It is the single most common reason an installation stops.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy stepless width matters more than it sounds\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA four-post lift only holds a vehicle safely when the tyres sit properly on the runways, near the centre of the platform rather than hanging over an edge. On a fixed-width lift that means every vehicle outside a narrow band of track widths is a compromise. Set the PRO-18 wide and a dual-rear-wheel pickup or a step van sits square. Bring it in and a sedan or a light SUV does the same. Because the adjustment is continuous rather than notched, you are not choosing the nearest hole — you are setting the actual number the vehicle wants. For a shop that sees one thing all day the point is a single correct setting; for a mixed fleet bay the point is that one lift serves the whole yard.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFour independent things stop this lift falling\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSafety on a four-post is layered on purpose, because any one system can be defeated. The PRO-18 carries a \u003cstrong\u003emechanical self-locking device\u003c\/strong\u003e that engages by itself as the lift rises and is released with air, so the lock is the resting state and the release is the deliberate act. Behind it sit \u003cstrong\u003emultiple primary safety locks\u003c\/strong\u003e along the travel, so a failure does not mean a fall to the floor — it means a drop to the next lock. A \u003cstrong\u003ecable-slack protection system\u003c\/strong\u003e watches the equalising cables and stops the lift if one goes loose, which is the failure mode that actually happens on a cable-driven lift as cables stretch with age. Those cables are aircraft-standard, and the hydraulic cylinder uses high-quality oil seals with a compensation valve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNone of that removes the operator's job. Raise the lift, let it settle onto the locks, and work off the locks — not off hydraulic pressure. The hydraulics move the vehicle; the steel holds it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWorking height and what fits underneath\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe lift's maximum lock height to the top of the runway is \u003cstrong\u003e72″\u003c\/strong\u003e, with 75 3\/16″ of raw lifting height, and it comes down to 7 7\/8″ at its lowest. Underneath, you get 68 1\/2″ of clearance with 65 3\/8″ at the highest lock. Read those two numbers as a pair, because the useful one is the locked height, not the maximum: 65 3\/8″ is what you will actually stand under all day, and how comfortable that is depends on how tall you are. If your work is undercar rather than wheels-off, measure your own eye level against that figure before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFleet and municipal shops\u003c\/strong\u003e running a mixed roster of vans, pickups and light trucks on one bay.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCommercial service centres\u003c\/strong\u003e that need the capacity headroom of an 18,000 lb rating rather than working a lighter lift near its limit.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTruck and RV specialists\u003c\/strong\u003e where track width varies more than weight does.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStorage and staging\u003c\/strong\u003e for heavy vehicles, where the lift spends more time holding than lifting.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is not a good match for a low-ceilinged residential garage, and we would rather say so here than sell you one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe lift ships with the ETL certified power unit as standard, non-skid diamond-plate platforms, the mechanical self-locking safety device with its air-driven release, the primary lock set, the cable-slack protection system and the aircraft-standard synchronisation cables.

That is a real, verifiable listing and it is worth having — but be clear about its scope: it covers the electrical power unit, not the lift structure as a whole. A power-unit listing is a different document from a North American third-party safety listing of the complete lift, and it is not a substitute for one. If your insurer, your fleet policy, a franchise agreement or your local inspector requires that whole-lift listing, verify the exact wording of the requirement before you buy. Send us the wording and we will confirm exactly what documentation this lift carries — a question worth settling before you order rather than at an inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis lift ships by freight to the lower 48 only.
