Atlas APEX9 — 9,000 lbs 4-Post ALI-certified extra-tall/wide/long storage & service lift
Bigger SUVs and longer-wheelbase trucks need more than just higher capacity — they need a certified platform sized to actually hold them safely. The Atlas APEX9 delivers 9,000 lbs of ALI-certified capacity with extra-tall, extra-wide, extra-long dimensions built for larger vehicles. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm certification and fit before you order.
Who the APEX9 Is Built For
- Home garages and shops that require ALI-certified 4-post lifts for larger vehicles up to 9,000 lbs, where certification is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have
- Buyers who need extra-tall, extra-wide, extra-long dimensions to actually accommodate SUVs and larger trucks without crowding the runways
- Shops that want the longer 5-year structural warranty that comes bundled with the APEX9's certification, versus shorter coverage on non-certified alternatives
- Collectors and facility operators storing larger vehicles who need documented certification on file for insurance or compliance purposes
- Buyers stepping up from the APEX8 because their vehicle mix runs larger and needs the added width, height, and length
What the APEX9 Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Budget-focused buyers with standard-size vehicles — the APEX8 covers most needs at a lower price
- ❌ Shops with limited floor space — the APEX9's extra-long footprint needs more room than the APEX8
Questions about fit or capacity? Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059.
What Makes the APEX9 Different
9,000 lbs of ALI-Certified Capacity for Larger Vehicles
Rated for 9,000 lbs with 86" (7' 2") of rise height to the top of the runway, the APEX9 is built with the extra dimensional room larger SUVs and trucks actually need — not just a higher weight rating on the same footprint.
Single-Point Lock Release, Lock-Ladder Design, Double Lock Safety
The same double-lock safety architecture as the APEX8 — single-point release, lock-ladder design, and redundant locking — scaled up for the APEX9's larger platform and higher capacity.
Standard Electrical, No Special Floor Work
The APEX9 runs on 110V single-phase power with a 30A breaker required, and needs no special concrete requirement beyond a standard floor. Confirm your specific site conditions with Alamo before ordering.
5-Year Structural Warranty Backed by Certification
The APEX9 carries Atlas's 5-year structural / 2-year hydraulic parts-only warranty. Every claim runs through Alamo — call (844) 480-6059 and we handle your service or warranty need directly.
Extra-Large Footprint for Extra-Large Vehicles
At 133 7/8" wide with the motor (121 7/8" without) and 98 5/8" of drive-thru clearance, the APEX9 needs a genuinely larger bay than the standard APEX8. Measure carefully and call Alamo before ordering.
