Tuxedo TP9KACX — 9,000 lb Two Post Clear-Floor Lift, Asymmetric
The Tuxedo TP9KACX is a 9,000 lb capacity two-post clear-floor lift with an asymmetric arm configuration — short-arm reach of 29 in to 41 in at the front, long-arm reach of 37 in to 57 in at the rear — designed to position the vehicle's center of gravity off-center toward the rear columns for easier door opening and better weight distribution on many passenger vehicles.
Overall height is 142-7/8 in with a 72 in max lift height, 113-5/8 in between columns, and 96 in of drive-thru clearance on a clear-floor design with no obstruction at ground level between the columns. Each arm is rated to 2,250 lb, and the lift runs on 220V, 20A single-phase power.
It's built for general repair shops that want the ergonomic and clearance benefits of an asymmetric arm layout, as an alternative to the symmetric-arm TP9KSCX at the same 9,000 lb capacity and footprint.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ General repair shops and dealerships wanting asymmetric arm positioning for easier door clearance on many vehicle types
- ✅ Facilities servicing passenger vehicles and light trucks up to 9,000 lb
- ✅ Shops that want a clear-floor design for unobstructed tool and jack access
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Vehicles or loads exceeding 9,000 lb total or 2,250 lb per arm
- ❌ Shops that specifically prefer symmetric arm geometry — see the TP9KSCX

What Makes the TP9KACX Different
Asymmetric Arm Geometry
Short arm reach of 29 in–41 in at front and long arm reach of 37 in–57 in at rear position the vehicle off-center toward the rear columns, often improving door clearance and weight distribution versus a symmetric layout.
9,000 lb Capacity, 2,250 lb Per Arm
Rated for 9,000 lb total with each of the four arms rated to 2,250 lb.
Clear-Floor Design
No floor plate between the columns, keeping the bay floor open for jacks, tool carts, and creepers — shared with the TP9KSCX but different from the floor-plate TP9KFX.
96 in Drive-Thru Clearance
Narrower drive-thru clearance than the TP10KAC-DX/TP11KC-DX/TP12KSC-DX lifts in this batch, fitting more compact bay widths.
Footprint
113-5/8 in between columns, 138 in overall width with power unit — confirm against your bay before ordering.
✅ Best For
- ✅ Shops wanting asymmetric arm positioning for easier vehicle door clearance
- ✅ General service bays lifting passenger vehicles and light trucks up to 9,000 lb
- ✅ Facilities with a more compact bay width than needed for the 10K–12K lift family
❌ Not Ideal For
- ❌ Loads over 9,000 lb total or 2,250 lb per arm — see the TP10KAC-DX, TP11KC-DX, or TP12KSC-DX for higher capacity
- ❌ Shops that prefer symmetric arm geometry for their typical vehicle mix
TP9KACX vs. TP9KSCX vs. TP9KFX — Which 9,000 lb Two-Post Configuration Fits Your Bay?
All three share the same 9,000 lb capacity and 2,250 lb per-arm rating — the difference is arm geometry and floor configuration.
| Feature | TP9KACX | TP9KSCX | TP9KFX |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arm configuration | Asymmetric (29–41 in front / 37–57 in rear) | Symmetric (31–45 in both) | Symmetric (31–45 in both) |
| Floor configuration | Clear floor | Clear floor | Floor plate |
| Height overall | 142-7/8 in | 142-7/8 in | 111-7/8 in (lower profile) |
| Width between columns | 113-5/8 in | 113-5/8 in | 110-3/8 in |
| Ship weight | 1,370 lb | 1,370 lb | 1,265 lb |
Choose the TP9KACX for asymmetric arm positioning and easier door clearance on many vehicles; choose the TP9KSCX for symmetric arms on a clear floor; choose the TP9KFX for a lower-profile floor-plate design if your ceiling height is limited. Call (817) 865-3707 to talk through which arm geometry fits your typical vehicle mix.

Does the TP9KACX price include shipping?
Yes. The advertised price includes standard freight delivery within the 48 contiguous United States. Additional freight charges apply for Alaska and Hawaii.
What does 'asymmetric' mean for this lift?
The front arms have a shorter reach (29–41 in) and rear arms a longer reach (37–57 in), positioning the vehicle off-center toward the rear columns for improved door clearance on many vehicles.
What's the maximum vehicle weight for the TP9KACX?
9,000 lb total, with a maximum of 2,250 lb per arm.
How is the TP9KACX different from the TP9KSCX?
Same 9,000 lb capacity, clear-floor design, and footprint — the TP9KACX uses asymmetric arm reach (29–41 in front, 37–57 in rear) while the TP9KSCX uses symmetric arms (31–45 in both sides).
How is the TP9KACX different from the TP9KFX?
Both share the same 9,000 lb capacity and per-arm rating, but the TP9KFX uses a floor-plate design and is shorter overall (111-7/8 in vs. 142-7/8 in), while the TP9KACX is a taller clear-floor design.
