Capacity\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo numbers explain why this lift exists rather than a cheaper 12,000 lb one: almost \u003cstrong\u003e123 inches between the columns\u003c\/strong\u003e and over \u003cstrong\u003e109 inches of drive-through\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ordinary two-post lifts are dimensioned around a passenger car and then asked to cope with a dually, a box van or anything wearing tow mirrors. The PV12PX is dimensioned the other way round — wide first — so the vehicle that would clip a column on a standard lift simply drives between these ones.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is an overhead lift, and Atlas has been building the PV series for over a decade. The PV12PX is the tall, wide member of that family: commercial-grade, 12,000 lb capacity, and low enough at the pads to still pick up a passenger car.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eUniquely for a lift this size, the height is partly your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCeiling.\u003c\/strong\u003e The overhead assembly can be set at 165\" (13 ft 9 in) or 177\" (14 ft 9 in).

On an overhead lift the ceiling measurement is the one that ends orders, so take it before you place one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe Low Setting Is Real, But It Is Not Free\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 150\" (12 ft 6 in) setting is genuinely useful in a building that cannot take the standard heights. It also \u003cstrong\u003erequires the purchase of additional cables\u003c\/strong\u003e, because the lower configuration changes the cable routing. That is stated in Atlas's own feature list and it is worth repeating here plainly, because it is the sort of detail that turns up on installation day and stops the job. If your ceiling requires the low setting, order the cables with the lift.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(One note on the current manufacturer copy: it refers to this three-height configuration under the code XH-PV12PX. The product you are buying is the PV12PX. If you need the distinction confirmed for a quote or a permit, ask us and we will get it in writing from Atlas rather than guess.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy Extra Height Is Not Just About Tall Vehicles\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe obvious use of a tall overhead lift is raising a van or a box truck without the roof meeting the beam. The less obvious one is that extra height gives extra clearance for the technician underneath a normal vehicle — the difference between standing upright under a truck and working with your head at an angle for an eight-hour day. On a lift that will be used every working day for years, that is a real consideration, not a comfort one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe arms are symmetric and longer than a standard set, and they work with the included peg-style truck adapter set, which adds height at the pad. Together those two things are what let a long-wheelbase truck with running boards be picked up at the correct points rather than at whatever the arms can just about reach.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDirect-Drive Cylinders, Padded Shut-Off and Door Guards\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe PV12PX uses dual direct-drive cylinders — the cylinder acts on the carriage directly rather than through a chain-over arrangement. Fewer moving parts in the load path means fewer wear items, and the lift raises and lowers with less to go out of adjustment over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbove the vehicle, a padded shut-off bar cuts the lift when a roof reaches it. This is the feature that protects you from your own concentration on the day something taller than usual comes in, and the padding is there because contact should stop the lift, not dent the vehicle. On the columns, door guards on the carriages protect the vehicle's doors when they are opened at height. Automatic arm restraints lock the arms as the lift rises, and lock release is single-point, so both columns release together from one control instead of being walked around and released in turn.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTruck, van and fleet service\u003c\/strong\u003e — the application the width and height were chosen for.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCommercial shops with tall ceilings\u003c\/strong\u003e that want the clearance rather than the compromise.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDealerships\u003c\/strong\u003e handling everything from a compact to a chassis-cab on one lift.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRV, ambulance and specialist trades\u003c\/strong\u003e where wide mirrors and tall bodies rule out a standard two-post.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBoth columns, overhead assembly, carriages and symmetric arms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA free 12 piece truck adapter set — four each at 1.25\", 2.5\" and 4\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePadded shut-off bar, door guards and automatic arm restraints, fitted\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e hydraulic oil (3 to 5 gallons of AW32 or AW46), the electrical work, concrete anchors, and the additional cables required for the 150\" low-height setting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eATTD-PV12PX\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e12,000 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOverall height\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e165\" or 177\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSpecial low height\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e150\" — requires purchase of extra cables\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOverall floor width\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e153\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eInside column\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e123\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDrive-through\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e109\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum lift height with adapters\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e81\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMinimum arm height\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e4 1\/2\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eColumn size\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e7 1\/2\" x 14 1\/2\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eColumn steel thickness\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e6mm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBase of lift\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e17 1\/2\" x 20 1\/2\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eElectrical\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e220 volt, single phase, 30 amp breaker recommended\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOil requirement\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e3 – 5 gallons AW32 \/ AW46 (not included)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAdapter heights\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003efour each 1.25\", 2.5\", 4\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eArm hole \/ adapter peg size\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShipping weight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e2,160 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e5 year structural \/ 2 year hydraulic, parts only\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCertification, Stated Plainly\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eNo independent third-party safety listing is published for the PV12PX, and we would rather write that sentence than let a shopper assume otherwise. What a third-party listing buys you is an outside laboratory testing the design and auditing the factory that builds it, with the lift carrying that body's label as evidence. This lift is sold on Atlas's own specification and rating.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhether that matters is not a question about the lift, it is a question about your building and your paperwork. Insurers, fleet and government service contracts, and some local codes name a listing as a requirement, and it is not something that can be added to a lift you already own. Establish your position before ordering — if you need a listed lift we will tell you which ones qualify.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eFreight only, lower 48 states.

Freight delivery means the carrier gets the crate to your address on a trailer and stops there. You are responsible for taking it off, so line up a forklift or a dock in advance, or choose terminal pickup and collect it with your own truck and trailer. Delivery to a home address is available and carries a residential fee.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect the crate with the driver still present. Photograph any damage, note it in writing on the bill of lading, and only then sign. Signing clean and finding a bent column the next morning is the one scenario where a freight claim becomes almost impossible to win.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoverage is 5 years structural and 2 years hydraulic, parts only. Structural means the columns, overhead assembly, carriages and arms; hydraulic means the power unit, cylinders and related components. In both cases the part is supplied and the labour to fit it is yours, which is the standard arrangement in this category but not the same as an on-site warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProtect the claim by protecting the evidence: \u003cstrong\u003edo not dismantle a failed component.\u003c\/strong\u003e Photograph it where it sits, stop using the lift, record what it was doing at the time, and contact us first. A cylinder or lock assembly that arrives already apart cannot be assessed, and that single mistake accounts for more refused claims than any actual exclusion.
