APlusLift 8000LB 4-Post Portable Parking Storage Service Car Lift #HW-8S

APlusLift HW-8S — 8,000 lbs 4-Post Lift

A garage with one bay and two vehicles is a constant trade-off — something's always outside, or blocking the driveway. The APlusLift HW-8S turns that one bay into two levels: park or service one vehicle on the deck, park or work underneath with 72" of rise-height clearance, all on a standard 110V household circuit.

The HW-8S runs on a 1.5HP 110V power unit with single-point safety lock release, and ships with a caster kit, jack tray, three drip trays, and two removable approach ramps — everything needed to install and start using the lift without ordering separate accessories. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm your garage's bay length and ceiling clearance before ordering.

Who the HW-8S Is Built For

• The homeowner whose one-car garage now has to fit two vehicles — a daily driver and a project car, or a teenager's first car — and who's tired of one of them sitting out in the weather every night
• The restoration shop with a standard-size bay that just needs a straightforward second level for storage between projects, not the extra length of the XLT model they'd never use
• The buyer who moved into a house with an older electrical panel and doesn't want the cost or hassle of running a new 220V line just to store a car — the HW-8S's 110V motor plugs into what's already there
• The DIYer who does their own oil changes and brake work on weekends and wants to use the jack tray to lift one corner independently, without needing a second jack stand setup every time
• The buyer who measured their bay first and confirmed a standard-length 4-post actually fits — and would rather save the difference in price than pay for the HW-8SXLT's extra 15" they don't need

What the HW-8S Is NOT Built For

• ❌ Longer or wider vehicles that need the HW-8SXLT's extra 15" of length and 6" of drive-thru width — check your vehicle's dimensions against the HW-8S's 178" x 106" footprint first
• ❌ Commercial shops running the lift daily at high volume — this is a home-storage/light-duty lift
• ❌ Buyers whose vehicle exceeds 8,000 lbs — the HW-4P11S or AL-14C handle heavier capacity

What Makes the HW-8S Different

Standard 110V Power — No Dedicated Circuit Required

Unlike APlusLift's heavier-capacity 4-post lifts that need 220V, the HW-8S runs on a standard 110V single-phase 1.5HP motor with a 10 ft power cord — most home garages already have the outlet this lift needs, no electrician visit required for a new circuit.

Caster Kit Included for Easy Repositioning

The polyurethane-wheeled caster kit comes standard, letting you move the HW-8S around the garage in minutes and install or remove the casters as your layout needs change — genuinely portable, not just "technically movable."

Jack Tray + 3 Drip Trays Included

The jack tray lets you use a floor jack to lift one end of the vehicle independently for tire or brake work. Three included drip trays catch fluid from a vehicle parked on the deck before it reaches whatever's stored underneath.

Single-Point Safety Lock Release

One lever releases all four locking mechanisms simultaneously for controlled, even lowering — paired with automatic arm-lock restraints and an up-limit switch that protects the hydraulic cylinders' working stroke.

9-Position Locking, 28-3/4" to 70-1/8"

Nine mechanical lock positions give real flexibility for the height you park at — whether that's minimal clearance for storage-only use or full rise height for servicing underneath.
