iDEAL TP10KAC-DX — 10,000 lb ALI-Certified Two Post Lift
The iDEAL TP10KAC-DX is a 10,000 lb capacity two-post clear-floor lift built and ALI-certified for general automotive and light-truck service. Bi-symmetric front and rear arms with a short-arm reach of 23 in–45 in and long-arm reach of 41 in–59 in are designed to center a wide range of vehicle wheelbases and configurations under the lift's rated per-arm capacity of 2,500 lb.
It uses a direct-drive hydraulic cylinder system with single-piece columns, rubber door guards to protect vehicle doors during arm swing, and a single-point manual lock release for quick, even lowering. Overall height is 144 in with a max lift height of 71 in, on a 116 in width between columns and 104 in of drive-thru clearance — a clear-floor design with no obstruction between the columns at ground level.
It's built for general repair shops, tire and quick-service centers, and any facility that needs a certified, code-compliant two-post lift rated for full-size trucks and SUVs up to 10,000 lb, backed by ALI (Automotive Lift Institute) certification for insurance and inspection purposes.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ General repair shops and dealerships needing ALI-certified lift documentation for insurance, inspection, or franchise requirements
- ✅ Facilities servicing full-size trucks, SUVs, and passenger vehicles up to 10,000 lb
- ✅ Shops that want a clear-floor design with no floor plate obstruction for tools, jacks, and creepers
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Vehicles or loads exceeding 10,000 lb total or 2,500 lb per arm
- ❌ Shops without adequate slab thickness/condition to meet ALI anchoring requirements — verify before ordering
What Makes the TP10KAC-DX Different
ALI Certification
The TP10KAC-DX carries ALI (Automotive Lift Institute) certification, giving shops documented third-party validation of the lift's design and load ratings for insurance, OSHA, and inspection purposes.
Bi-Symmetric Arm Configuration with 2,500 lb Per-Arm Capacity
Bi-symmetric arms (short arm: 23 in–45 in reach; long arm: 41 in–59 in reach) are designed to center a wide range of vehicles under the lift, each arm rated to 2,500 lb.
Direct-Drive Hydraulics, Single-Piece Column
A direct-drive push-cylinder hydraulic system and single-piece column construction simplify the lifting mechanism and reduce alignment points versus a cable-drive design.
Clear-Floor Design
No floor plate between the columns, keeping the bay floor open for jacks, tool carts, and creepers during service.
Footprint
116 in between columns, 145-1/2 in overall width with power unit, and 104 in drive-thru clearance — confirm against your bay before ordering.
