APlusLift HW-8SXLT โ 8,000 lbs 4-Post Lift
Not every vehicle fits comfortably on a standard-length 4-post lift โ extended-cab trucks and larger SUVs need more drive-thru width and runway length, and a cramped fit is a real usability concern, not just an inconvenience. The APlusLift HW-8SXLT is the extra-long, extra-wide answer within the same 8,000 lb capacity as the standard HW-8S.
The HW-8SXLT runs the identical 110V 1.5HP power unit and 72" rise height as the HW-8S โ the difference is purely footprint: 15" more length and 6" more drive-thru width. It ships with the same caster kit, jack tray, three drip trays, and two removable approach ramps. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm your garage's bay length before ordering.
Who the HW-8SXLT Is Built For
- The home garage owner storing an extended-cab truck or larger SUV who measured the standard HW-8S and came up short on runway length or width
- DIY enthusiasts who want the caster kit's mobility to reposition the lift as their garage layout changes
- Buyers on a standard 110V household circuit who don't want to install a dedicated 220V line just for the lift
- Anyone who regularly does independent one-end lifting with a floor jack and wants the jack tray already built into the package
- Garages with the extra bay length available and no reason not to take the larger, more flexible footprint
What the HW-8SXLT Is NOT Built For
- โ Bays shorter than roughly 193" โ confirm your garage's actual length before ordering; the standard HW-8S may be the better fit
- โ Commercial shops running the lift daily at high volume โ this is a home-storage/light-duty lift
- โ Buyers whose vehicle exceeds 8,000 lbs โ the HW-4P11S or AL-14C handle heavier capacity
Questions about fit or capacity? Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059.
What Makes the HW-8SXLT Different
Extra-Long, Extra-Wide Footprint
At 193" long and 99" of drive-thru width โ 15" and 6" more than the standard HW-8S โ the HW-8SXLT gives extended-cab trucks and larger SUVs the runway room they actually need instead of a cramped fit on a standard-length deck.
Standard 110V Power โ No Dedicated Circuit Required
Like the HW-8S, the HW-8SXLT runs on a standard 110V single-phase 1.5HP motor with a 10 ft power cord โ no electrician visit needed for a new 220V circuit.
Caster Kit Included for Easy Repositioning
The polyurethane-wheeled caster kit comes standard, letting you move the HW-8SXLT around the garage in minutes despite its larger footprint.
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.
9-Position Locking, 28-3/4" to 70-1/8"
The same nine mechanical lock positions as the HW-8S give flexibility for the height you park at, whether that's minimal clearance for storage or full rise height for servicing underneath.
- โ Homeowners and restoration shops with longer or wider vehicles โ extended-cab trucks, larger SUVs โ that need extra runway room beyond the standard HW-8S
- โ Buyers who want the caster kit's portability to reposition the lift without permanent floor anchoring
- โ Garages already wired for 110V โ no dedicated 220V circuit required for this model
- โ Anyone who regularly uses a jack tray for independent one-end lifting, or drip trays for keeping fluid off a vehicle stored underneath
- โ Buyers who have the extra 15" of bay length available and want the added runway margin
- โ Bays shorter than roughly 193" โ confirm your garage's actual length before ordering; the standard HW-8S may be the better fit
- โ Commercial shops running the lift daily at high volume โ this is a home-storage/light-duty lift
- โ Buyers whose vehicle exceeds 8,000 lbs โ the HW-4P11S or AL-14C handle heavier capacity
HW-8SXLT vs. APlusLift HW-8S (8,000 lb Standard 4-Post) โ Which Lift Is Right for Your Space?
| Decision Point | HW-8SXLT | APlusLift HW-8S (8,000 lb Standard 4-Post) |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 8,000 lbs | 8,000 lbs (identical) |
| Length overall | 193" | 178" (15" shorter) |
| Drive-thru width | 99" | 93" (6" narrower) |
| Rise height | 72" | 72" (identical) |
| Best fit | Extra-long, extra-wide runways for longer or wider vehicles | Standard-length runways for a more compact bay footprint |
Choose the HW-8SXLT when you're storing longer or wider vehicles and want the extra runway room. Choose the HW-8S when your bay length is limited and you don't need the extra clearance. Both stay inside Alamoโs catalog โ call (844) 480-6059.
