Tuxedo TP12KSC-DX — 12,000 lb ALI-Certified Heavy-Duty Two Post Lift
The Tuxedo TP12KSC-DX is a 12,000 lb capacity, ALI-certified two-post clear-floor lift built for heavy-duty commercial and dealership service, including full-size and dual-rear-wheel pickup trucks. Symmetric arms rated to 3,000 lb per arm — the highest per-arm rating among Tuxedo's TP9K–TP12K two-post lifts — reach 37-5/8 in to 57 in.
It uses a direct-drive hydraulic system, rubber door guards, and a single-arm restraint system with spin-up lift pads for reaching low-clearance pinch points. At 168-1/2 in overall column height and a 75 in max lift height, it's taller than the TP9K/TP10K/TP11K clear-floor lifts in this batch, built to clear larger commercial vehicles.
It's built for shops and dealerships that regularly service heavy-duty trucks, vans, and dually pickups and need ALI-certified documentation alongside the added capacity margin over a standard 9,000–11,000 lb lift.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Commercial shops and dealerships servicing full-size and dual-rear-wheel pickup trucks up to 12,000 lb
- ✅ Facilities needing ALI-certified documentation for insurance, inspection, or franchise requirements
- ✅ Shops that need the tallest lift height and highest per-arm rating in this two-post lineup
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Vehicles or loads exceeding 12,000 lb total or 3,000 lb per arm
- ❌ Low-ceiling bays that can't accommodate the 168-1/2 in overall column height

What Makes the TP12KSC-DX Different
ALI Certification at 12,000 lb
The TP12KSC-DX carries ALI certification at the highest capacity in this comparison group, giving heavy-duty shops documented load-rating validation.
3,000 lb Per-Arm Symmetric Arms
Symmetric arms reach 37-5/8 in to 57 in and are each rated to 3,000 lb — the highest per-arm capacity among the TP9K–TP12K two-post lifts.
Taller Column, Higher Lift Height
At 168-1/2 in overall height and a 75 in max lift height, it clears larger commercial vehicles than the shorter TP9K/TP10K/TP11K clear-floor lifts.
Direct-Drive Hydraulics
A direct-drive push-cylinder system with single-arm restraint and spin-up lift pads simplifies lifting on vehicles with tight pinch-weld clearance.

- ❌ Low-ceiling bays that can't clear the taller 168-1/2 in column height
