Atlas 408SL — 8,000 lbs 4-Post free-standing/portable storage & service lift
A garage that stores one car above another needs the floor space more than it needs a permanent installation. The Atlas 408SL is an 8,000 lb free-standing/portable 4-post lift built for exactly that — storage and service capability for cars, light trucks, and SUVs, with a caster kit that lets you reposition it without a base-plate install. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm fit before you order.
Who the 408SL Is Built For
- Home garages and hobbyist shops that need to store or service cars, light trucks, and SUVs up to 8,000 lbs without giving up the whole bay to one lift
- Buyers who want free-standing/portable 4-post placement instead of committing to a permanent base-plate installation
- Garage owners who want the included caster kit so the lift can be rolled out of the way when it is not holding a vehicle
- Collectors storing a second or third vehicle above floor level to free up parking space in a single-car or two-car garage
- Hobbyists doing weekend maintenance who want a stable working platform without the cost and commitment of a fully anchored commercial 4-post
What the 408SL Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Shops needing ALI/ETL certification — the 408SL is commercial-grade, not ALI listed
- ❌ Heavy commercial fleets over 8,000 lbs — step up to the Atlas 414 (14,000 lb)

What Makes the 408SL Different
8,000 lbs of Storage and Service Capacity
Rated for 8,000 lbs, the 408SL handles cars, light trucks, and SUVs with 73 1/4" of rise height to the top of the runway (not on lock) — enough clearance to work underneath or simply store a vehicle overhead to reclaim garage floor space.
Free-Standing Design with an Included Caster Kit
A single-point lock release keeps operation simple, and the included caster kit means the 408SL can be repositioned within the garage instead of staying fixed to one spot — useful when the lift needs to move for a project, a new vehicle, or just more open floor.
Standard Electrical, Standard Slab — No Special Build-Out
The 408SL runs on 110V single-phase power with a 30A breaker required, and it needs a standard reinforced slab — confirm exact PSI and depth with Alamo before install, but this is not a lift that requires a specialty commercial floor.
Atlas Reliability, Backed by Alamo
The 408SL carries Atlas's 2-year structural / 2-year hydraulic parts-only warranty. Every claim goes through Alamo — call (844) 480-6059 and we handle the service call directly.
A Footprint That Fits a Home Garage
At 117 1/2" wide with the motor (109 5/8" without) and 82" of drive-thru clearance, the 408SL is sized for a real two-car garage bay. Measure your space and call Alamo before ordering if anything looks tight.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions — 408SL
Is the Atlas 408SL ALI certified?
The 408SL is a commercial-grade hobbyist 4-post lift; the live Atlas source does not list ALI certification for this model. If ALI certification is required, ask Alamo about the ALI-certified APEX8 (also 8,000 lbs).
What ceiling height does the 408SL need?
Column height is 83" (6' 11"). Plan for at least that much clearance to the lowest obstruction, plus room for the tallest vehicle stored. Call Alamo to confirm your garage.
What power does the 408SL require?
110V single-phase power on a dedicated 30-amp breaker. The plug is not included — have an electrician run the drop before install day.
Does the 408SL come with a caster kit?
Yes — a caster kit with polyurethane wheels is included, along with steel approach ramps and four plastic drip trays.
