Tuxedo MSC-18K-X-6108 — 6-Column Mobile Column Lift Set, 108,000 lb Total Capacity

The Tuxedo MSC-18K-X-6108 is a 6-column mobile single-column lift set, each column rated for 18,000 lb, for a combined 108,000 lb total lifting capacity when operated together. A Siemens PLC and electro-optical encoder keep all columns synchronized during individual or paired lifting, and the system runs on 24VDC output per column (charged from 100-140VAC, 60Hz, single-phase input) so it isn't tethered to a fixed hydraulic power unit.

Each column is easily repositioned with a pallet-jack-style wheel, uses adjustable lifting forks (range 12.6" - 22") to accommodate a wide range of wheel diameters, and includes an independent mechanical locking system with an emergency stop switch on every column. An LCD screen with keypad shows settings and lifting height at a glance.

Who It's Built For

  • ✅ Heavy-truck, bus, and commercial-vehicle shops needing 108,000 lb of synchronized wheel-engaging lift capacity
  • ✅ Facilities that want mobile, repositionable columns instead of a fixed in-ground or above-ground lift
  • ✅ Shops scaling lift capacity in 6-column increments — MSC-18K-X-236 (2-column, 36,000 lb) and MSC-18K-X-472 (4-column, 72,000 lb) are also available in this MSC-18K-X family

What It's NOT Built For

  • ❌ Vehicles or loads exceeding 108,000 lb combined, or 18,000 lb per column
  • ❌ Shops wanting a fixed, permanently anchored lift rather than mobile columns

What Makes the MSC-18K-X-6108 Different

6-Column Set, 108,000 lb Total Capacity

Each column is rated for 18,000 lb; running all 6 columns together provides 108,000 lb of combined lifting capacity.

PLC-Synchronized Lifting

Siemens PLC and electro-optical encoder keep all columns in continuous synchronization during individual or paired/synchronized operation.

Mobile, Repositionable Columns

Each column moves on a pallet-jack-style wheel and is easily positioned rather than fixed in one bay location.

Adjustable Lifting Forks

Fork adjustable range of 12.6" - 22" (fork length 17.9", 10" fork-to-column clearance) accommodates a wide range of wheel diameters.

Independent Safety Systems

Each column has its own mechanical locking system and emergency stop switch for the highest safety assurance per column.

✅ Best For

  • ✅ Shops needing 108,000 lb of mobile, synchronized wheel-engaging lift capacity
  • ✅ Facilities that want to scale lift capacity by adding column sets over time

❌ Not Ideal For

  • ❌ Loads over 108,000 lb combined or 18,000 lb per column — see the MSC-13K-B family for a different capacity tier
  • ❌ Shops wanting a permanently fixed, anchored lift instead of mobile columns

MSC-18K-X-6108 vs. Its 4/2-Column Siblings — Choosing Your Column Count

All MSC-18K-X sets share the same 18,000 lb per-column rating, lifting height, and column specs — the only difference is how many columns are in the set (and therefore total capacity).

Feature MSC-18K-X-236 MSC-18K-X-472 MSC-18K-X-6108
Column count 2 4 6
Per-column capacity 18,000 lb 18,000 lb 18,000 lb
Total set capacity 36,000 lb 72,000 lb 108,000 lb
Lifting height 67.1" 67.1" 67.1"
Ship weight 1,584 lb x2 1,584 lb x4 1,584 lb x6

Choose the column count that matches your typical vehicle wheelbase and total weight — all columns in a MSC-18K-X set are interchangeable and share the same per-column rating. Note: the MSC-13K-B family (13,200 lb per column) is a lower-capacity, non-ALI-certified sibling line — see those listings if 13,200 lb per column meets your needs. Call (817) 865-3707 to talk through which capacity tier and column count fits your shop.
