Almost nobody says how strong theirs are. The \u003cstrong\u003e12APX\u003c\/strong\u003e does: its Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System is a forged-steel design that grips through a full \u003cstrong\u003e360-degrees\u003c\/strong\u003e and holds the arms with over \u003cstrong\u003e2000-pounds\u003c\/strong\u003e of load-holding force.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat number exists because of a specific failure. Arm restraints have historically been a toothed gear and a pin, sized for stopping an arm drifting while you position a car. They were not sized for the moment a vehicle shifts on the pads — a gearbox coming out, a diff going in, a load placed slightly off the centre of balance — and that is when a restraint is asked to resist a real force rather than a nudge. Heavier vehicles make that moment worse, which is the honest reason this lift exists in the form it does.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eArms that retract shorter and reach further\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second thing worth understanding is the arm design, because it decides whether a lift can take the cars you have. These are triple-telescoping nested arms: the inner tubes retract right through the back of the arm assembly, past the pivot pin, instead of stopping against an end plate or a tube closeout. That gives both a shorter minimum retraction and a longer extension from the same arm.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFront arm reach starts at \u003cstrong\u003e26 in. \/ 660.4 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e and rear arm reach at \u003cstrong\u003e29.50 in. \/ 745.3 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, and each arm is rated to \u003cstrong\u003e3,000 lbs. \/ 1,361 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e — four of those is exactly the lift's \u003cstrong\u003e12,000 lbs. (5,443 kg)\u003c\/strong\u003e rating, which is a useful sanity check when you are placing a heavy vehicle asymmetrically. The Bi-Metric arms then let the same lift work symmetrically, with the vehicle's centreline at the columns, or asymmetrically with it behind them, without swapping arms over. A long saloon and a short van no longer need two lifts or a set of arms in the corner.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eLow-Pro arms and the cars that used to be a problem\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Low-Pro swing arms use telescoping channels with a shorter profile and a dropped-end pad receiver. In plain terms, the arm gets under a lowered car without touching the side skirt, the running board or the ground effects on the way in — the class of vehicle that generates the awkward conversations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe pads are double-telescoping screw adapters with gouge and tear-resistant polyurethane faces, spun up or down to level the vehicle on its lifting points. Stackable adapters extend that: \u003cstrong\u003e2.5\"\u003c\/strong\u003e medium and \u003cstrong\u003e5\"\u003c\/strong\u003e tall adapters come as sets of four, and a \u003cstrong\u003e2\"\u003c\/strong\u003e low adapter is an optional set. Total adapter height is \u003cstrong\u003e7.50 in. \/ 188 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is what to add to the minimum pad height when working out whether a low car will clear the pads at all.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCeiling.\u003c\/strong\u003e Overall height is \u003cstrong\u003e169 in. \/ 4,294 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the floor-to-top-switch measurement at \u003cstrong\u003e162.50 in.\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure to the lowest obstruction over the bay, not the highest part of the roof.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloor width.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e156 in.\u003c\/strong\u003e overall, \u003cstrong\u003e143 in.\u003c\/strong\u003e across the outside of the posts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGetting a car in.\u003c\/strong\u003e Width between the inside of the posts is \u003cstrong\u003e120 in.\u003c\/strong\u003e, about 10 ft, and drive-thru width \u003cstrong\u003e103 in.\u003c\/strong\u003e, about 8.5 ft.

On a two-post lift that is the single most important installation figure there is, because the whole load and all of its overturning moment go into the anchors: the columns are held up by your slab and nothing else. The requirement is in the installation manual linked on this page and we will confirm it in writing before you order.
