Stratus SAE-P48P — 8,000 lbs 4-Post Lift

A garage that serves double duty as storage and workshop space needs equipment that can move, not just lift. The Stratus SAE-P48P is built for that flexibility: an 8,000 lb 4-post lift with a caster kit and relocatable power unit included standard, so it goes where your space needs it rather than staying fixed in one spot.

The SAE-P48P runs on a 110V single-phase 3HP power unit — no dedicated 220V circuit required — and ships with a caster kit, rolling jack tray, 3 drip trays, wheel chocks, ramps, and wheel stops standard. Aluminum ramps, a rolling bridge jack, and an aluminum center deck are available as optional upgrades. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm your garage's floor space and electrical setup before you order.

Who the SAE-P48P Is Built For

  • The homeowner whose garage doubles as a workshop and storage space — the included caster kit means the lift can roll out of the way when the bay is needed for something else
  • The small shop that rearranges its floor plan seasonally and needs a 4-post lift that moves with it, not one bolted permanently to a single spot
  • The buyer who wants the relocatable power unit specifically — it means the hydraulic pack isn't fixed to one wall, giving more flexibility in how the lift sits in the bay
  • The DIYer who appreciates 13 locking positions for real flexibility across different vehicle heights and service tasks, more than the 9-position options in this lineup
  • The shop protecting concrete and cables — the boxed steel construction with sleeve containment keeps hydraulic lines protected during regular repositioning

What the SAE-P48P Is NOT Built For

  • ❌ Shops that don't need mobility — a fixed-position 4-post like the SAE-P48-G3 covers similar capacity
  • ❌ Vehicles exceeding 8,000 lbs — a heavier-capacity 4-post lift handles that class
  • ❌ Buyers who don't have room for the longer footprint with ramps

Questions about fit or capacity? Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059.

What Makes the SAE-P48P Different

Boxed Steel Construction with Sleeve Containment

A more robust build than open-frame designs, with sleeve containment protecting hydraulic lines during regular repositioning — built for a lift that actually moves, not just sits.

Caster Kit and Relocatable Power Unit Included

Unlike most 4-post lifts where mobility is an optional add-on, the SAE-P48P ships with the caster kit and a relocatable power unit standard — genuine mobility built in from day one.

13 Locking Positions

More locking flexibility than most models in this lineup, giving real control over working height across a range of vehicle sizes and service tasks.

Cable Failure Protection

A second safety device automatically locks if the primary safety locks are out of operation — real redundancy even on a mobile-focused lift.

Hands-Free Lock Release Latch System

Simplifies day-to-day operation compared to older manual latch designs, especially useful when the lift is being repositioned and reset frequently.

✅ Best For
  • ✅ Home garages and small shops that want to reposition the lift as their space needs change
  • ✅ Buyers who value the caster kit and relocatable power unit included standard
  • ✅ Shops wanting the 13-position lock flexibility across multiple vehicle heights
❌ Not Ideal For
  • ❌ Shops that don't need mobility — a fixed-position 4-post like the SAE-P48-G3 covers similar capacity
  • ❌ Vehicles exceeding 8,000 lbs — a heavier-capacity 4-post lift handles that class
  • ❌ Buyers who don't have room for the longer footprint with ramps

SAE-P48P vs. Stratus SAE-P48C (8,000 lb Compact 4-Post) — Which Lift Is Right for Your Space?

Decision Point SAE-P48P Stratus SAE-P48C (8,000 lb Compact 4-Post)
Capacity 8,000 lbs 8,000 lbs
Mobility Caster kit + relocatable power unit included Caster kit included
Lock positions 13 positions 11 positions
Shipping weight 1,923 lbs 1,865 lbs
Best use case Shops needing a relocatable power unit Shops wanting a lighter, simpler mobile lift

Choose the SAE-P48P for mobility with the included caster kit and relocatable power unit. Choose the SAE-P48-G3 for a lighter-weight design at the same 8,000 lb capacity. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
