The Tuxedo PL6K is a \u003cstrong\u003efloor-mounted, surface-mounted design\u003c\/strong\u003e. It bolts to the slab you already have. No pit is dug, no drainage is rerouted, and the installation is a day's work with an anchor drill rather than a construction project.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEverything else follows from that. It has a low drive-over height, so a vehicle rolls onto it without ramps dominating the bay; it releases its locks from a single pneumatic control; and it ships with its power unit and stand, so there is no separate purchase standing between delivery and a working lift.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill it work in your bay?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloor space.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plan around an overall footprint of 83 1\/4″ long by 66″ wide. The runways are 18″ across with a pad length of 53″, and the spacing between them is adjustable from 0 to 29 1\/2″ — that adjustment is what lets one lift suit a narrow hatchback and a wide pickup rather than being set for one track width.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRise, and the ceiling you do not need.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifting height is 28 1\/2″, or 30″ with the optional height adapters. This is a low-rise lift by design: it brings a vehicle to a comfortable working height for wheels, brakes, exhaust and service work without needing a tall building. If you want to stand upright under a car, this is the wrong category of lift and we would rather say so.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMinimum pad height 4 1\/4″.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the specification that decides whether a lowered car can be picked up at all.

For a home garage or a small independent shop, avoiding a higher-voltage installation is a real saving and a real convenience.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe lift is anchored into concrete, and the manual specifies the slab thickness and strength it needs. We do not print an approximate figure here on purpose — the number that matters is the one in the manual for this model, and a slab is expensive to get wrong. Confirming your floor, your space and your access is the buyer's responsibility, and all three are cheaper to establish with a tape measure than with a truck outside.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy low rise suits the work it is bought for\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA low-rise lift is not a compromised two-post. It is the right tool for a specific class of job: wheels off, brakes, tyre rotations, exhaust, sill and rocker work, detailing, and the constant up-and-down of a quick-service bay. It comes up fast, it goes down fast, and because the vehicle is only waist-high the technician is not climbing or reaching overhead. In a service lane the lift cycle time is a real cost, and a low-rise beats a full-rise lift on that measure every time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe single-point pneumatic lock release is the feature that makes that rhythm safe. Locks engage automatically on the way up; coming down is one deliberate control at one location. There is no walking round the lift releasing catches, and therefore no opportunity to release one and forget another.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFrame lifting, if you need it\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs supplied, the lift picks the vehicle up on rubber spacer blocks, which is what you want for pad-point lifting. Tuxedo offers two options that change that. An arm kit adapts the lift for frame lifting, and a set of height adapters raises the pick-up point and takes the maximum lifting height to 30″. Both are separate purchases, and both are worth deciding on before you order rather than after — if you want them shipped on the same freight booking, tell us at the time of order.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect for\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuick-lube and fast-fit bays\u003c\/strong\u003e where cycle time is the business model.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTyre and brake shops\u003c\/strong\u003e needing wheels-off access many times a day.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHome garages with a low ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e — the category of lift that fits a standard garage roof.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDetailing and bodyshops\u003c\/strong\u003e wanting a car raised to a comfortable working height for sill, wheel-arch and underside work.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAny shop that cannot excavate\u003c\/strong\u003e — a leased unit, a shared building, a slab that will not be cut.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe lift, the power unit and its stand, the single-point pneumatic lock release and the high-density rubber spacer blocks.

The figure behind the live freight quote is lower and is being corrected, so the shipping cost shown at checkout may not reflect the full crated weight. If you are arranging your own transport, or hiring lifting equipment by capacity, ask us to confirm the crated weight in writing before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAbout certification\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eTuxedo does not claim an independent third-party lift safety listing for this model in the data supplied to us, and we will not imply one. The distinction is worth understanding before you buy a lift of any kind: a manufacturer's own declaration that a design meets a standard is not the same document as an outside body having examined and listed it, and insurers, corporate and fleet safety policies, dealership programme rules and some local jurisdictions require the latter by name. If one of those governs your workshop, get the requirement in writing from whoever imposes it and send it to us before ordering. We would far rather answer that honestly in advance than have a lift bolted to your floor that an inspector will not accept.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eShipped by freight to the lower 48, priced live at checkout for your address so it reflects current rates rather than a number typed into this page and forgotten. You must be able to take the shipment off the truck — a forklift with the capacity for it, or a dock — or you can choose to collect from the carrier's local terminal instead. A residential address carries a residential fee, shown to you before you pay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect it before you sign. Check the pallet, the banding, the scissor structure, the power unit and the hydraulic fittings, write anything you find on the delivery receipt \u003cem\u003ebefore\u003c\/em\u003e signing it, photograph the shipment as it comes off the truck, and contact us the same day. Freight damage is settled with the carrier rather than under warranty, and a receipt signed clean is very hard to reopen. Unpack and check the contents against the parts list promptly too, because the window for reporting a missing item or concealed damage is short.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe lift carries the manufacturer's limited warranty, which treats structure and wearing parts differently and excludes on-site labour. We publish the current terms, the exclusions and the claim procedure on our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mechanicsuperstore.com\/pages\/warranty-claims\"\u003ewarranty claims page\u003c\/a\u003e rather than paraphrasing them here — they are Tuxedo's terms to set, and a summary on a product page drifts out of date without anyone noticing. If a specific term is part of your decision, ask us to confirm it in writing before you order. And if a fault appears, photograph it as found and talk to us before dismantling or modifying anything: a component that has already been taken apart is usually outside the claim, which is an avoidable way to lose one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" height=\"8\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" width=\"1198\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-details-container\" id=\"kd-main-product-details-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-details-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-details-item\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e6,000 lbs Capacity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFloor Mounted Design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLow Driver Over Height\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSingle Point Pneumatic Lock Release\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePit Lift to Extend Quick Lube Services\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRubber Spacer Blocks Included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOptional PL6K-ARMKIT for Frame Lifting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOptional PL6K-HEIGHT-ADAPTER Extensions for Frame Lifting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" height=\"8\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" width=\"1198\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e   \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-pickupdelivry-container\" id=\"kd-main-product-pickupdelivry-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003ePick Up and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-pickupdelivry-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-pickupdelivry-item\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur Pick Up locations for Valor, Tuxedo, iDeal are located in Temecula, California - Orlando, Florida - Norcross, Georgia - Elwood, Indiana - St. Cloud, Minnesota - Reidsville, NC - Pottsville, Pennsylvania - Alvarado, Texas - West Valley City, Utah.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCall, text, or chat with us if you have questions. 866-774-7743\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-pickupdelivry-item\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" height=\"8\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" width=\"1198\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-downloads-container\" id=\"kd-main-product-downloads-container\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tuxedo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49287210795162,"sku":"PL6K","price":2380.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/coretarps.co.uk\/products\/tuxedo-pl6k-6-600-lb-low-rise-pit-lift-includes-power-unit-and-stand","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
