Stratus 4-Post 8k lbs Manual Release Car/Storage Lift w/Casters SAE-P48-G3

Stratus SAE-P48-G3 — 8,000 lbs 4-Post Lift

Not every garage needs the extra mobility features of a fully relocatable lift setup — sometimes what you want is solid 3rd-generation engineering, casters for occasional repositioning, and a straightforward price. The Stratus SAE-P48-G3 is built for that: an 8,000 lb 4-post storage/service lift with casters included standard, at a lower price point than the mobile-focused SAE-P48P.

The SAE-P48-G3 runs on a 110V single-phase 3HP power unit — no dedicated 220V circuit required — and ships with a rolling jack tray, caster kit, and 3 drip trays standard. A rolling bridge jack and aluminum ramps are available as optional add-ons. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm your garage's floor space and electrical setup before you order.

Who the SAE-P48-G3 Is Built For

• The homeowner who parks a daily driver on top and stores a weekend project car underneath — casters let them roll the whole setup a few feet toward the wall when the in-laws visit and both bays are needed for parking
• The small independent shop replacing a 15-year-old 4-post that's finally showing rust at the base welds — they want current-generation engineering without paying for the SAE-P48P's relocatable power unit they'll never actually use
• The DIYer who does brake jobs on one visit and full exhaust replacement on the next — 11 locking positions covers both working heights without needing the SAE-P48P's extra range
• The buyer who measured two other bays before landing here — the SAE-P48-G3's footprint fits where the longer SAE-P48P wouldn't, without dropping to the shorter SAE-P48C's reduced overhead rise
• The garage owner who repositions the lift twice a year for seasonal storage swaps — boat trailer in summer, snowblower and extra vehicle in winter — and just needs the casters to make that a five-minute job, not a rented-dolly ordeal

What the SAE-P48-G3 Is NOT Built For

• ❌ Shops wanting the widest lock-position range — the SAE-P48P offers 13 positions versus 11 here
• ❌ Vehicles exceeding 8,000 lbs — a heavier-capacity 4-post lift handles that class
• ❌ Buyers needing a relocatable power unit specifically — that feature is unique to the SAE-P48P

What Makes the SAE-P48-G3 Different

3rd Generation Stratus Engineering

Built on Stratus's updated G3 platform, reflecting current engineering and construction quality improvements over earlier generation designs.

Casters Included Standard

Unlike many fixed-position 4-post lifts, the SAE-P48-G3 ships with a caster kit standard, giving you repositioning flexibility without an extra purchase.

11 Locking Positions

Solid flexibility across different vehicle heights and service tasks, without paying for the extra positions of the SAE-P48P.

Hands-Free Lock Release Latch System

Simplifies day-to-day operation with a latch system that doesn't require awkward manual manipulation to release.

Cable Failure Protection

A second safety device automatically locks if the primary safety locks are out of operation — genuine redundancy built into the design.
