Atlas® 9,000 lb Hobbyist 4-Post Lift #ATEATPK-409HP

Atlas 409HP — 9,000 lb Super Deluxe Hobbyist 4-Post Lift

Most hobby lifts quietly draw the line at half-ton trucks — right up until the family buys a one-ton dually and the lift can't take it. The Atlas 409HP is the Super Deluxe hobbyist four-post built past that line: 9,000 lbs, extra tall, extra wide, and explicitly rated by the manufacturer for one-ton dual-wheel trucks. Free-standing and portable, with a caster kit available, it's a serious lift that doesn't take a commercial bay to own.

With 85 1/2 inches of rise and 79 inches of clearance under the runways, there's room to work under the truck — or park the project car underneath it. Diamond-plated runways, a lock-ladder design with single-point lock release, plastic drip trays, and a steel jack tray come standard.

Who the Atlas 409HP Is Built For

• Truck owners with dual-wheel one-tons — the manufacturer explicitly rates the 409HP for 1-ton dual wheel trucks, which the Garage PRO8000EXT-L is not built for.
• Home workshops that want portability — free-standing design with an available caster kit (poly wheels) that installs and removes in minutes; the lift goes where the project is.
• Tall-vehicle owners — 94 3/4" columns and 85 1/2" of rise handle lifted trucks and vans that squat under hobby-lift ceilings.
• Homeowners with a parking storage plan — 79" of under-runway clearance puts a second vehicle under the daily driver.
• Home garages with residential power — 110 volts on a 30 amp breaker, no commercial service needed.

What the Atlas 409HP Is NOT Built For

This is not a commercial service lift — it's hobbyist-grade (the Super Deluxe line), so a shop running daily cycles belongs in the Atlas 412 family instead. It's not for anything over 9,000 lbs, and the 94 3/4" columns mean low garage ceilings are a hard stop.

Important sizing note: measure garage width (134 1/4" with motor), ceiling against the 94 3/4" columns plus vehicle height at full rise, and confirm wheelbase (178" max) and loaded weight before purchase.

What Makes the Atlas 409HP Different

The hobbyist lift that takes duallys

9,000 lbs and a frame sized for 1-ton dual-wheel trucks — the vehicle class most hobby lifts quietly exclude.

• Accommodates 1-ton dual wheel trucks
• 178" max wheelbase
• 9,000 lb capacity

Free-standing, and fine with it

Portable by design, with an available caster kit (poly wheels) that goes on and comes off in minutes — a garage can reconfigure around a project weekend.

Work-ready details

Diamond-plated runways, single-point lock release on a lock-ladder design, free plastic drip trays, free steel jack tray, and runway tracks for the Atlas RJ6BK rolling bridge jack (sold separately).

Best For

• 1-ton dually trucks

• Low-ceiling garages

Atlas 409HP vs Atlas Garage PRO8000EXT-L

Both are 110V hobbyist four-posts; the 409HP takes the heavier truck (duallys included) and carries the longer warranty.

Atlas® Automotive Equipment Warranty - Atlas 409HP

The Super Deluxe line carries a warranty closer to commercial lifts than hobby ones — structure and hydraulics covered for years, not months.

Warranty terms can change. Confirm exact coverage at the time of purchase. Warranty can be void if the lift is installed improperly or not anchored per spec.
