That is what a base-plate design buys you. With no overhead beam tying the columns together, the structure stops not far above the carriage travel, and a capacity normally needing a tall commercial bay fits a garage with an ordinary ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second thing worth knowing: the \u003cstrong\u003edistance between the columns is a decision you make at installation\u003c\/strong\u003e, not a number you inherit. The BP-12 sets up at either 118 1\/8″ (3000 mm) or 123 1\/2″ (3137 mm), and that choice changes both the vehicles it takes and the floor it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat a base plate gives you, and what it costs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn a base-plate lift, the hydraulic and cable runs that synchronise the two columns cross the floor inside a plate you drive over, rather than through a beam over your head. Make that trade deliberately.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you gain:\u003c\/strong\u003e a much lower structure — 122 1\/2″ overall — no beam above the vehicle, and no overhead assembly to install or align.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you give up:\u003c\/strong\u003e a completely clear floor. The plate is driven over every time, which matters for floor jacks, transmission jacks and anything else you roll across the bay. Neither design is better in the abstract; your ceiling and your floor decide it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe lift is \u003cstrong\u003echain-driven\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong\u003eaircraft-quality cable used for synchronisation\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it is held by a \u003cstrong\u003edual locking system\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003esingle-point safety release\u003c\/strong\u003e that unlocks both columns at once. That reads like a convenience feature and is really a safety one — the alternative is walking around a loaded lift releasing one column, then the other.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTwo column spacings, and how to choose between them\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSet at \u003cstrong\u003e118 1\/8″ (3000 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e between the columns, the lift's overall width is 145 3\/8″ and the drive-through clearance is listed on this page as 105 1\/4″. Set at \u003cstrong\u003e123 1\/2″ (3137 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e, overall width becomes 150 3\/4″ and the drive-through clearance is listed as 110 5\/8″. \u003cem\u003eBoth drive-through figures are disputed — see the note below.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe difference sounds like nothing until a wide-bodied pickup must be centred between the columns with its doors still openable. Take the wider setting for full-size trucks, the narrower one if floor width is tight and your work is mostly cars. Decide before installation — the columns are anchored to the slab.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eArms, pads and the parts that wear\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe BP-12 carries \u003cstrong\u003efour three-stage arms\u003c\/strong\u003e, which telescope from the pinch welds on a short car to the frame points on a long-wheelbase truck without swapping hardware. \u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic arm restraints\u003c\/strong\u003e lock each arm once the vehicle is set, so nothing swings out from under a load. Minimum pad height is listed on this page as 4 3\/4″ \u003cem\u003e(disputed — see below)\u003c\/em\u003e; it decides whether a low car can be driven over the arms at all, so it is worth confirming.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe carriages ride on \u003cstrong\u003eself-lubricating UHMW polyethylene sliders and bronze bushings\u003c\/strong\u003e. The value is not the material name — a lubrication schedule that depends on somebody remembering gets skipped, and worn sliders show up as a judder. A \u003cstrong\u003edetachable foot guard and tool tray\u003c\/strong\u003e keep the base of each column clear.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill it fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eCheck these against your building before you order.

It is not the same document as an independent third-party lift safety listing and does not stand in for one.
