Stratus G3 4-Post 8k lbs Manual Release Car/Storage Lift SAE-P48C

Stratus SAE-P48C — 8,000 lbs 4-Post Lift

Lower ceilings and tighter floor space rule out a lot of 4-post lifts before you even get to capacity or features — you need the most compact option that still does the job. The Stratus SAE-P48C is built for exactly that: an 8,000 lb 4-post storage lift with the shortest overall height and footprint in the Stratus lineup, at the most accessible price point.

The SAE-P48C 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. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm your garage's ceiling clearance and floor space before you order.

Who the SAE-P48C Is Built For

• The homeowner with a lower garage ceiling who measured overhead clearance first and needs the SAE-P48C's shorter 81-3/4" overall height to actually fit
• The buyer working with the tightest floor space in this lineup — the compact footprint fits where the taller SAE-P48-G3 or longer SAE-P48P wouldn't
• The budget-conscious buyer who wants a genuine 4-post storage lift with casters at the most accessible price point Stratus offers in this class
• The small shop that doesn't need the extra locking positions or overhead clearance of the pricier models — 9 positions covers their typical service range
• The buyer replacing an older compact 4-post lift and wanting the same footprint with current 3rd-generation engineering

What the SAE-P48C Is NOT Built For

• ❌ Shops needing more overhead clearance — the SAE-P48-G3's taller 95-1/2" overall height allows more rise
• ❌ Vehicles exceeding 8,000 lbs — a heavier-capacity 4-post lift handles that class
• ❌ Shops wanting more locking positions than the 9 offered here

What Makes the SAE-P48C Different

Most Compact Design in the Stratus 4-Post Lineup

At 81-3/4" overall height and a 207-5/8" footprint with ramps, the SAE-P48C fits lower-ceiling garages and tighter bays where the taller SAE-P48-G3 or longer SAE-P48P wouldn't clear.

Casters Included Standard

Despite the compact price point, the SAE-P48C still ships with a caster kit standard, giving you repositioning flexibility.

9 Locking Positions

Solid working-height flexibility for typical storage and light service tasks, sized appropriately for this entry-price model.

Cable Failure Protection

A second safety device automatically locks if the primary safety locks are out of operation — real redundancy even at this price point.

Hands-Free Lock Release Latch System

Simple, reliable lock release operation without an awkward manual manipulation step.
