The Stratus SAE-C10A is a 10,000 lb height-adjustable clearfloor 2-post lift for repair bays that want under-vehicle access without a floor plate across the working area.
Its 137 3/4 inch to 147 5/8 inch overall height range, direct-drive cylinders, single-point manual release, and included adapters make it a practical Stratus option for cars, SUVs, light trucks, and mixed service work.
Height-Adjustable Clearfloor Layout
The overhead clearfloor design keeps the work area between columns open while the adjustable height range gives shops more bay-planning flexibility.
Direct-Drive 10K Lifting
Direct-drive cylinders, anti-surge valves, and 10,000 lb capacity support everyday passenger-car, SUV, and light-truck service.
Included Adapter Support
The listing includes screw-up rubber pads and 4 inch truck adapters, helping the SAE-C10A reach common pickup points without a separate first adapter purchase.
Single-Point Manual Release
A single release point simplifies lowering compared with walking to both columns on dual-release designs.
Stratus Warranty Coverage
The current listing shows 5-year structural, 3-year hydraulic, and 2-year electrical parts coverage.
