iDEAL Portable Auto Tilt Lift — TLX-7000
The Tuxedo TLX-7000 is a 7,000 lb capacity portable tilt lift designed to raise and tilt unibody vehicles for inspection, service, and display without a hydraulic power unit. It operates entirely from a handheld electric drill (not included) or the included manual handle with socket adapter, driving twin dual-action precision gear drives.
The low-profile design measures just 4-1/2 in tall when lowered and stores against a wall using the included wall mount brackets, making it practical for shops and garages with limited floor space. It safely lifts and tilts unibody vehicles with 48 in to 61 in frame rail widths to a maximum height of 23-1/2 in, providing comfortable working height and undercarriage access. Dual independent safety lock bars and pins allow full operation from either side of the lift.
It ships standard with a jack stand, platform risers, drill-drive adapters, wall mount brackets, and a manual handle with socket adapter. Typical uses include oil changes and inspections, brake and wheel service, exhaust and transmission work, paint booth staging, auto detailing/wrapping, and vehicle display at trade shows or dealerships.
