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.

Footprint

122 in between columns, 151-5/16 in overall width with power unit, 109 in drive-thru clearance — confirm against your bay and ceiling height.

✅ Best For

  • ✅ Commercial and dealership shops regularly lifting heavy-duty and dually trucks
  • ✅ Facilities needing ALI-certified documentation at the highest capacity in this group
  • ✅ Bays with ceiling height to accommodate a 168-1/2 in tall lift

❌ Not Ideal For

  • ❌ Loads over 12,000 lb total or 3,000 lb per arm
  • ❌ Low-ceiling bays that can't clear the taller 168-1/2 in column height
