Stratus 4 Post 9k lbs Manual Release Double Parking Car Lift #SAE-P49D

Stratus SAE-P49D — 9,000 lbs 4-Post Lift

A two-car garage with only one buildable lift bay is a common problem — you either park one vehicle outside permanently, or you look for a lift that solves the space math differently. The Stratus SAE-P49D is built for exactly that: a 9,000 lb double-parking 4-post lift that stacks two vehicles in the footprint of one bay, with straightforward manual safety lock release for simple, dependable operation.

The SAE-P49D runs on a 110V single-phase 4HP power unit — no dedicated 220V circuit required — and ships with 2 approach ramps, 4 wheel stops, 8 drip trays, and 2 jack trays standard. A mobile kit, sliding bridge jack, and aluminum ramps are available as optional add-ons if your needs grow.

Who the SAE-P49D Is Built For

• The homeowner with a two-car garage who only has room to build one lift bay — the double-parking deck effectively turns one bay into two vehicle spaces
• The small shop juggling a project car and a customer's daily driver that needs both stored safely without expanding the building footprint
• The buyer who wants straightforward manual lock release over electric controls — fewer parts to service, simpler for a DIY owner to maintain long-term
• The garage that's already wired for 110V and doesn't want the cost or hassle of adding a 220V circuit just for a lift
• The buyer who specifically wants a caster kit option down the road — this model supports one as a separate accessory when floor layout needs change

What the SAE-P49D Is NOT Built For

• ❌ Single-vehicle garages that don't need double-parking capacity — a single-deck 4-post costs less
• ❌ Vehicles exceeding 9,000 lbs — a heavier-capacity 4-post lift handles that class
• ❌ Shops that need electric lock release — this model uses single-point manual release

What Makes the SAE-P49D Different

Double-Deck Parking — Two Vehicles, One Footprint

The core value of the SAE-P49D is space math: park or store one vehicle on the deck while the other sits underneath, effectively doubling your garage's vehicle capacity without adding square footage.

Single-Point Manual Safety Lock Release

Mechanic locks automatically engage as the lift ascends, and a single-point manual release handles the descent — fewer electronic parts to maintain over the life of the lift.

Imbalance Protection

Self-lubricating pulleys and pre-tensioned cable keep the lift running true and reduce the chance of one side outpacing the other during operation.

Skid-Proof Diamond Platform

The diamond-plate deck surface gives secure footing when walking around a parked vehicle on the upper level, an important detail for a lift used for storage rather than pure service.

CE-Tested Load Capacity

Independently tested to 115% of rated capacity dynamically and 150% statically — real safety margin above the advertised 9,000 lb rating.
