Atlas PRO8000EXT — 8,000 lbs 4-Post extra-tall storage & service lift
A stored vehicle overhead does no good if there isn't room to actually stand up and work underneath it — crouched-over storage defeats the point of a taller garage. The Atlas PRO8000EXT solves that by taking the standard PRO8000 platform and adding 12" of extra clearance under the runways, turning that headroom into real usable space instead of wasted ceiling. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm your ceiling height before ordering.
Who the PRO8000EXT Is Built For
- Garages with taller ceilings that want the extra vertical clearance to actually stand and work under a vehicle stored on the runways, not just squeeze underneath
- Hobbyists storing taller vehicles — trucks, vans, lifted SUVs — that need more headroom than the standard PRO8000 provides
- Buyers who specifically need the extra 12" of clearance under the runways compared to the standard PRO8000 and are willing to trade for a taller minimum ceiling requirement
- Collectors who use the space under a stored vehicle as a real second workstation, not just parking overflow
- Garage owners who have already confirmed an 8' 6" or taller ceiling and want to maximize what that height gives them
What the PRO8000EXT Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Garages with ceilings under 8'6" — the taller columns won't fit
- ❌ Shops needing ALI/ETL certification

What Makes the PRO8000EXT Different
8,000 lbs of Capacity with 12" More Clearance
Rated for 8,000 lbs with 84 1/4" (7' 1/4") of rise height to the top of the runway — a meaningful 12" more than the standard PRO8000 — the PRO8000EXT is built for garages that want to actually use the space underneath a stored vehicle.
Same Proven Lock System, Taller Platform
A single-point lock release, lock-ladder design, and double lock safety system carry over from the standard PRO8000, engineered the same reliable way but built into a taller frame.
Requires a Taller Ceiling Than the Standard PRO8000
The PRO8000EXT needs an 8' 6" minimum ceiling — taller than the standard PRO8000's 7' 6" requirement. Measure your garage ceiling carefully before ordering; this is the tradeoff for the extra clearance underneath.
Standard Electrical and Slab Requirements
The PRO8000EXT runs on 110V single-phase power with a 30A breaker required, and needs a standard reinforced slab — confirm exact PSI and depth with Alamo. It carries Atlas's 2-year structural / 1-year hydraulic warranty, serviced through Alamo directly. Call (844) 480-6059 for any claim.
Same Footprint, More Height
At 115" wide with the motor (104 1/2" without) and 80 1/2" of drive-thru clearance — matching the standard PRO8000's footprint — the PRO8000EXT delivers extra height without needing extra floor space.
- ✅ Garages with taller ceilings that want extra under-vehicle clearance for standing/working room
- ✅ Hobbyists storing taller vehicles or wanting more headroom beneath the stored vehicle
- ✅ Buyers who need the extra 12" of clearance under runways versus the standard PRO8000
- ❌ Garages with ceilings under 8'6" — the taller columns won't fit
- ❌ Shops needing ALI/ETL certification
PRO8000EXT vs. Atlas Garage PRO8000 (8,000 lb) — Which Lift Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | PRO8000EXT | Atlas Garage PRO8000 (8,000 lb) |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 8,000 lbs | 8,000 lbs |
| Column height | 98 1/2" — extra tall for more under-vehicle clearance | 83" — standard height |
| Best fit | Taller vehicles / extra clearance below the lift | Standard garage ceiling heights |
Choose the PRO8000EXT for extra under-vehicle clearance — 79" versus 67" on the standard PRO8000. Choose the standard PRO8000 for a lower overall column height if your ceiling is tighter. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
