Tuxedo FP8K-DX-XLT — 8,000 lb Deluxe Storage Lift, Extended Length
The Tuxedo FP8K-DX-XLT is an 8,000 lb four-post deluxe storage and service lift with extended runway length and height, designed to store one vehicle underneath while using the deck above for a second vehicle, or to raise a vehicle for undercarriage service and inspection. Overall length with ramp is 222-1/2 in, with 180-1/2 in runways and a maximum lifting height of 82-1/4 in.
It uses a classic hydraulic-over-cable lifting system with a 3/8 in cable diameter and 12 lock positions, running on a 115V, 20A single-phase power unit. It comes standard with poly casters (for rolling a vehicle underneath when the lift is up), drip trays, and a jack/tool tray — a step up from Tuxedo's basic storage lift models.
It's built for homeowners and shops that want dual-purpose storage and service capability in one four-post lift, with a longer, taller platform than the standard FP8K-DX for larger vehicles or added ground clearance.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Homeowners and shops wanting to store one vehicle underneath a second vehicle parked on the lift
- ✅ Facilities needing occasional underside service/inspection access on a storage-style lift
- ✅ Buyers who want the extended-length, extended-height (XLT) version for longer vehicles or extra ground clearance
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Vehicles or loads exceeding 8,000 lb
- ❌ High-frequency professional service work — this is a storage-oriented lift, not a dedicated service lift like a two-post

What Makes the FP8K-DX-XLT Different
Extended Length & Height (XLT)
At 222-1/2 in overall length with ramp and 82-1/4 in lifting height, the FP8K-DX-XLT is longer and taller than Tuxedo's standard FP8K-DX, accommodating longer vehicles or providing more ground clearance underneath.
Deluxe Package: Poly Casters, Drip Trays, Jack Tray
Comes standard with a poly caster kit for rolling a vehicle underneath when the lift is raised, plus drip trays and a jack/tool tray — features not included on Tuxedo's basic FP8K-B storage lift.
Hydraulic-Over-Cable Lifting
A classic hydraulic-over-cable system with 3/8 in cables and 12 lock positions lifts the platform to 82-1/4 in for storage or service access.
Dual-Purpose Storage & Service
Functions as both a vehicle storage lift (park one vehicle underneath) and a service lift for maintenance and repair work.
Footprint
222-1/2 in long x 109-3/8 in wide overall; confirm this against your garage or bay dimensions before ordering.
✅ Best For
- ✅ Homeowners maximizing garage space with dual-vehicle storage
- ✅ Shops wanting occasional underside access on a storage-style lift
- ✅ Buyers needing the extended length/height of the XLT over the standard FP8K-DX
❌ Not Ideal For
- ❌ Vehicles over 8,000 lb — see the FP9K-DX-XLT for higher capacity
- ❌ High-volume professional service shops needing a dedicated two-post or four-post service lift
