AMGO® AX-12 12,000 lb Scissor Lift
The AMGO® AX-12 is a 12,000 lb-capacity heavy-duty scissor lift built around a control cabinet and dual synchronous cylinders. An electro-air control system drives the self-lock safety mechanism, and a stop switch at 300 mm plus a descent alarm keep the work zone protected as the platforms travel.
Full-rise platforms reach 72-7/8" and drop to 11-3/4", giving general-service techs a flat, drive-on work height for brakes, suspension and undercarriage jobs on cars, vans and light trucks up to the rated load.
Who It's Built For
- General-service and tire shops that want a full-rise scissor without a two-post footprint
- Cars, vans and light trucks within the 12,000 lb rating
- Bays that need a clear, obstruction-free platform for undercarriage work
- Shops that value electro-air self-locking safety and a synchronized dual-cylinder design
- Techs who want fast 75-second cycle times through the day
What It's NOT Built For
- Loads above 12,000 lb — step up to the AX-16A
- Dedicated wheel-alignment programs needing turnplates and slip plates — choose the AX-12A
- Thin or unknown slabs — verify concrete before buying
- Motorcycles and ATVs — use a powersport lift
- Ceilings that cannot clear a full-rise raised vehicle
Key Differentiator: Full-rise scissor muscle without alignment overhead
The AX-12 delivers a true 12,000 lb full-rise scissor on a clean platform, giving general-service shops the height and capacity of a big scissor without paying for alignment turnplates they will not use.
- High-volume general service on a full-rise scissor platform
- Shops that need built-in alignment turnplates and slip plates
