Stratus 7k lbs 2-Post Parking Lift #SAE-P27

Stratus SAE-P27 — 7,000 lbs 2-Post Parking Lift

A repair-bay lift and a parking lift solve two completely different problems. A service lift raises one vehicle to working height so a technician can get underneath it. The Stratus SAE-P27 does something else entirely: it adds a second parking level above an existing ground-floor spot, letting one footprint hold two vehicles instead of one. For a shop, dealership, or property owner running out of parking or storage space without room to expand the lot, that’s the actual problem the SAE-P27 is built to solve.

The SAE-P27 is a 7,000 lb add-on unit that shares a post with an existing base lift — it is not a standalone system, and it is not rated or configured for automotive repair work. It runs on an electrical safety lock release with a 110V or 220V power option, giving some flexibility on the electrical circuit available at the install site. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm this is the right fit for your parking or storage need before ordering — our team will walk through the difference between this and a repair-bay lift if there’s any question about which one your project actually needs.

Who the SAE-P27 Is Built For

• Independent dealerships and used-car lots that are out of ground-floor inventory space and need to double up parking on the same footprint without leasing more lot
• Property owners and building managers adding resident or tenant parking capacity in a garage where the floor plan can't grow outward, only upward
• Shops and fleets that need extra vehicle storage — not a repair bay — for overflow inventory, seasonal vehicles, or units waiting on parts
• Facilities already running a base 2-post or single-post lift in that spot that want to add the P27 as a second level rather than buying a second full lift system
• Anyone comparing a parking lift against a 4-post storage lift who specifically needs the shared-post 2-post add-on configuration for their existing setup

What the SAE-P27 Is NOT Built For

• ❌ Auto repair shops that need to lift a vehicle for service work — the SAE-P27 is a parking/storage system, not a service lift, and isn't built or rated for repair-bay use
• ❌ Sites without an existing compatible base unit — the SAE-P27 is an add-on unit that shares a post, not a standalone system
• ❌ Vehicles over 7,000 lbs — confirm your heaviest vehicle's actual weight against this rating before ordering

What Makes the SAE-P27 Different

7,000 lb Add-On Parking Platform — Shared-Post Design

The SAE-P27 shares a post with an existing 2-post base unit rather than requiring its own separate column footprint. That shared-post design is what makes it a parking-density solution rather than just another lift — it adds a second vehicle level to a footprint that's already committed to one lift, instead of needing an entirely new installation site.

Electrical Safety Lock Release — 110V or 220V Power Option

The SAE-P27 uses an electrical safety lock release rather than a manual mechanical release, and it's available in either a 110V or 220V configuration. That power flexibility matters for retrofit installs where the available circuit at the site is already fixed — confirm which voltage matches your site's electrical setup with Alamo before ordering.

82 11/16" Maximum Lift Height

The SAE-P27 raises to a maximum of 82 11/16" — enough clearance to park a second vehicle underneath the raised platform in most standard-height garage and lot configurations. Confirm your specific overhead clearance (structure ceiling, not just the lift's own height) accommodates both the lift height and the vehicle parked on top before ordering.

6-Inch Reinforced Slab Requirement

The SAE-P27 requires a 6-inch reinforced concrete slab at 3,000 PSI minimum. This is a real structural requirement, not a suggestion — a parking lift holding two vehicles' worth of weight on a shared footprint puts real load on the anchor points. Confirm your existing slab meets this spec, especially in retrofit installs where the original slab was poured for a single lift, before signing off on the install.
