Atlas 9,000 lb In-Ground Full-Rise Scissor Lift #ATEATTD-FM9SL-FPD

Atlas FM9SL — 9,000 lbs In-ground full-rise scissor lift

A shop floor cluttered with lift structure is a shop floor that limits what else you can do with the space. The Atlas FM9SL is a 9,000 lb in-ground full-rise scissor lift that disappears into the floor when it is not in use, leaving a completely open, obstruction-free bay. Call Alamo at (817) 865-3707 to talk through pit requirements before you order.

Who the FM9SL Is Built For

• A showroom-adjacent service bay where customers walk the floor — the FM9SL disappears flush with the concrete when it's lowered, so there's no above-floor lift structure to explain or step around
• A shop that rolls jacks, parts carts, and rolling tool chests across the same floor all day and is tired of routing around a base-plate 2-post or scissor frame that's always in the way
• An operation already running alignment equipment on the same bay — a flush-floor lift means the alignment rack and turntables roll into position without disassembling anything first
• A shop willing to do the pit excavation once, up front, to get a permanently obstruction-free bay instead of working around an above-floor lift for the next fifteen years
• A facility with 220V power already run to the bay and site conditions that support in-ground installation — the upfront work pays off in a bay that stays clear for every job after it

What the FM9SL Is NOT Built For

• ❌ Facilities that can't excavate for an in-ground pit — consider the SLP9K instead
• ❌ Shops needing a quick, no-excavation install timeline

What Makes the FM9SL Different

9,000 lbs of Full-Rise Capacity, Zero Floor Obstruction

Rated for 9,000 lbs with a max lifting height of 73 3/4" (6' 1 3/4") with standard blocks, the FM9SL delivers full-rise working height while keeping the floor around it completely open when the platform is down.

Adjustable Width with Extending Platforms

Adjustable width and extending platforms accommodate a range of vehicle track widths and wheelbases, so the same in-ground lift handles more of what comes through your bay without extra adapters.

Air-Operated Release, Pit Installation Required

A single-point air-operated lock release (external air supply required) keeps operation fast. The FM9SL requires in-ground pit installation with excavation per manufacturer spec — confirm site conditions with Alamo before ordering, since this is a bigger commitment than a surface-mount lift.

Atlas Warranty, Alamo Service

The FM9SL carries Atlas's 1-year structural / 1-year hydraulic parts-only warranty. Every claim goes through Alamo directly — call (817) 865-3707 for service or warranty questions.

Zero Above-Floor Obstruction When Lowered

At 80" (6' 8") wide with extensions out and an in-ground design that leaves no above-floor obstruction, the FM9SL keeps your bay clear for foot traffic, carts, and other equipment between lifts.
