AMGO® OH-12S 12,000 lb Two-Post Lift

The AMGO® OH-12S is a 12,000 lb-capacity clear-floor two-post lift, made for heavy lifting under a lower ceiling. It relies on a direct-drive system and four 3-stage arms, with single-point manual release, overhead safety shut-off, automatic arm restraints. Power unit 071102 is crated with each lift.

Lower height settings (143 1/8"-167 1/8") let the OH-12S fit garages that can't clear a full-height 12,000 lb lift while keeping an open floor.

Who It's Built For

  • Low-clearance garages that still need heavy-duty capacity
  • Heavier vehicles where garage headroom is limited
  • Shops fitting real capacity under a modest ceiling
  • Garages trading a bit of height range for lower overall height
  • Home-and-commercial hybrids with lower ceilings

What It's NOT Built For

  • Anything over the stamped capacity figure
  • Any in-ground mounting scheme
  • Thin garage slabs that need an upgrade first
  • Two-wheel and quad service
  • Tire bays with no lifting requirement

Key Differentiator: Heavy-capacity open floor

Lower height settings (143 1/8"-167 1/8") let the OH-12S fit garages that can't clear a full-height 12,000 lb lift while keeping an open floor.

Best For
  • Heavy lifting under a low garage ceiling
Not Ideal For
  • Shops that need full standard lifting height
