AMGO® DX-12A 12,000 lb Double Scissor Alignment Lift
The AMGO® DX-12A is a double-scissor alignment lift with a 12,000 lb main scissor and a 9,000 lb secondary scissor, letting techs raise the vehicle and then jack an axle independently on the same lift. A synchronization-cylinder system with hose-burst valves and a 24V control with photocell device keeps both platforms level and protected.
A 300 mm stop switch and descent alarm guard the work zone, while full-rise platforms reach 72-13/16" and settle to 12-5/8" for repeatable alignment and undercarriage service on cars, vans and light trucks up to the rated load.
Who It's Built For
- Alignment shops that want a wheels-free second scissor for suspension work
- Cars, vans and light trucks within the 12,000 lb main rating
- Bays doing alignment plus brake, strut and bushing service in one setup
- Shops that value hose-burst valves and a 24V photocell control
- Techs who need to lift an axle without a separate rolling jack
What It's NOT Built For
- Loads above 12,000 lb on the main scissor
- Single-scissor-only budgets — the AX-12A costs less without the wheels-free deck
- Slabs of unverified thickness — AMGO does not publish a concrete spec for this model, so confirm with Alamo first
- Motorcycles and ATVs — use a powersport lift
- Low-ceiling bays that cannot clear a full-rise raised vehicle
Key Differentiator: Wheels-free second scissor for alignment bays
The DX-12A stacks a 9,000 lb secondary scissor on a 12,000 lb main platform, so a tech can raise the car for alignment and then lift a wheel free for suspension work without rolling in a separate jack.
- Alignment plus wheels-free suspension service on one lift
- Shops that only need a single-scissor alignment platform (pick the AX-12A)
