Atlas® 9,000 lb Baseplate 2-Post Lift #ATEXH-TPF-9-FPD

Atlas TPF-9 — 9,000 lb Baseplate (Open-Top) 2-Post Lift

An overhead two-post doesn't care that your shop has a 10-foot ceiling — the beam is the problem, and the ceiling isn't moving. The Atlas TPF-9 is the baseplate, open-top answer: a 9,000 lb symmetric two-post with no crossbeam overhead, standing 111 1/2 inches so a low bay still gets a full 76 1/2-inch working rise (79 1/2 with adapters).

The floor plate carries the equalization instead of a top beam, so everything the ceiling would have blocked is at floor level — and the lift keeps the safety kit that matters: a spring-loaded Secondary Lock System, automatic arm restraints, and dual-point lock release.

Who the Atlas TPF-9 Is Built For

• Shops with low ceilings — 111 1/2" of column height fits the 9–10 ft bays that overhead-beam two-posts can't enter, no building modifications required.
• General-service bays on sedans, SUVs, and 3/4-ton pickups — 9,000 lbs with symmetric arms and a 98 1/2" drive-thru for the daily vehicle mix.
• Techs who spot symmetric and want it to stay that way — symmetric columns and arms on every lift point, with automatic arm restraints that engage on rise.
• Shops that value the safety kit — the spring-loaded Secondary Lock System (SLS) plus dual-point lock release is real redundancy, not a marketing line.
• Bays already verified for the install — 4" of 3,000 psi concrete and 220V single-phase on a 30 amp breaker — so the TPF-9 drops into a bay that's ready.

What the Atlas TPF-9 Is NOT Built For

This is not the lift for shops needing maximum under-lift clearance — the baseplate means floor-level hardware where an overhead design keeps the floor clear (see the TPO-9 for that trade). It's also not for anything over 9,000 lbs, not for ceilings so low that 111 1/2" plus a raised vehicle won't clear, and not for alignment work.

Important sizing note: measure ceiling against the 111 1/2" columns plus vehicle height at full rise, floor width (133 1/2"), and confirm loaded weight before purchase.

What Makes the Atlas TPF-9 Different

Open top — the low-ceiling two-post

No overhead beam: the columns stand 111 1/2" tall and the floor plate handles equalization, which is the whole reason this lift exists.

• 111 1/2" overall height
• Baseplate / open-top design
• 76 1/2" rise (79 1/2" with adapters)

Safety kit that earns its keep

Spring-loaded Secondary Lock System, automatic arm restraints, and dual-point lock release — the features that keep a 9,000 lb load predictable.

Comes ready to work

Adjustable screw-up adapters, a free 4-piece truck adapter set, free sliding arm adapters, and mounting hardware included — freight prepaid.

Best For

• Low-ceiling bays (9–10 ft)
• General service to 9,000 lbs
• Symmetric spotting
• Baseplate installations

Not Ideal For

• Shops needing clear-floor space (see TPO-9)
• Vehicles over 9,000 lbs
• Very low ceilings
• Alignment work

Atlas TPF-9 vs Atlas TPO-9 — same 9,000 lb platform, two ceiling answers

Same capacity, same safety kit — the choice is your ceiling: low bays take the TPF-9, tall bays get the clear floor of the TPO-9.
