Atlas TPO-9 — 9,000 lb Overhead (Clear-Floor) 2-Post Lift

Cables and hydraulic lines across the floor turn a two-post bay into an obstacle course — carts catch, creepers stop, and containment pans live somewhere else. The Atlas TPO-9 is the clear-floor answer: a 9,000 lb overhead two-post whose 12-foot column set carries everything up top, leaving the floor beneath the vehicle completely clear.

The bay underneath becomes real workspace: 76 1/2 inches of rise (79 1/2 with adapters) puts the vehicle at working height with the spring-loaded Secondary Lock System and automatic arm restraints holding the load, and dual-point lock release keeping cycles quick.

Who the Atlas TPO-9 Is Built For

  • Shops that want the floor back — the clear-floor overhead design leaves the space beneath the lifted vehicle free for carts, creepers, drain pans, and foot traffic.
  • General-service bays on sedans, SUVs, and 3/4-ton pickups — 9,000 lbs of capacity on symmetric arms, with a 99 1/2" drive-thru width.
  • Bays with 12-foot-plus ceilings — the 144" column set is the trade for the clear floor; if the ceiling can't take it, the TPF-9 baseplate is the low-bay answer.
  • Techs who want the safety kit — spring-loaded Secondary Lock System (SLS), automatic arm restraints, dual-point lock release.
  • Shops already verified for the install — 4" of 3,000 psi concrete and 220V single-phase on a 30 amp breaker.

What the Atlas TPO-9 Is NOT Built For

This is not the lift for low ceilings — 144 inches of column plus a raised vehicle needs real headroom, and a bay that can't give it belongs in the TPF-9 baseplate instead. It's also not for anything over 9,000 lbs or for alignment work.

Important sizing note: measure ceiling against the 144" columns plus vehicle height at full rise, floor width (133 1/2"), and confirm loaded weight before purchase.

What Makes the Atlas TPO-9 Different

Clear floor — the overhead advantage

Everything rides the 12-foot column set: cables, hydraulics, and the beam — so the floor beneath the vehicle stays open for carts, pans, and people.

  • 144" overall height (12')
  • Clear-floor design
  • 99 1/2" drive-thru

Safety kit that earns its keep

Spring-loaded Secondary Lock System, automatic arm restraints, and dual-point lock release — load-holding redundancy on every cycle.

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

  • Clear-floor work space
  • Bays with 12'+ ceilings
  • General service to 9,000 lbs
  • Symmetric spotting

Not Ideal For

  • Low-ceiling bays (see TPF-9)
  • Vehicles over 9,000 lbs
  • Alignment work

❓ Frequently Asked Questions - Atlas TPO-9

What does "clear floor" actually mean?

The equalization cables and hydraulic routing ride the overhead beam between the 12-foot columns — nothing crosses the floor under the vehicle, so the whole bay beneath it is usable workspace.

My ceiling is under 12 feet — can I still use the TPO-9?

Not safely — the columns stand 144". For lower ceilings, the Atlas TPF-9 baseplate version tops out at 111 1/2" with no overhead beam.

What power and concrete does it need?

220 volt single-phase on a 30 amp breaker, and minimum 4 inches of 3,000 psi concrete. Hydraulic oil (3–5 gallons AW32/AW46) is not included.

Do adapters come with it?

Yes — adjustable screw-up adapters, a free 4-piece truck adapter set, and free sliding arm adapters are included.
