Tuxedo 9,000 lb Two Post Floor Plate - Symmetric #TP9KF-TUX

Tuxedo TP9KF-TUX — 9,000 lb Two Post Floor Plate Lift, Symmetric

The Tuxedo TP9KF-TUX is a 9,000 lb two-post lift with symmetric swing arms and a floor-plate design connecting the two columns — a lower-profile alternative to a clear-floor lift, useful for bays with tighter ceiling clearance. At 112 in overall height, it's over 30 in shorter than the clear-floor TP9KAC-TUX.

Symmetric arms reach the same distance on both front and rear pickup points, giving a straightforward, consistent setup across different vehicle types. Chain-drive cylinders with a dual-point lock release raise both columns in sync, and an auto arm restraint system keeps the swing arms secured once positioned.

Who It's Built For

• ✅ Shops with lower-ceiling bays that can't accommodate a taller clear-floor lift
• ✅ General repair shops running mixed passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs up to 9,000 lb
• ✅ Buyers who prefer symmetric arm reach front-to-back

What It's NOT Built For

• ❌ Shops that want a fully clear floor with no plate between columns — see the TP9KAC-TUX
• ❌ Loads over 9,000 lb, or over 2,250 lb on any single arm

What Makes the TP9KF-TUX Different

Symmetric Arm Geometry

Both arms reach 31–45 in on either side — the same distance front-to-back, giving a consistent setup that doesn't require distinguishing short vs. long arm placement.

Lower-Profile Floor-Plate Design

The floor plate connecting the two columns adds structure at a lower overall height (112 in) compared to the taller clear-floor TP9KAC-TUX (142-11/16 in) — a real advantage for bays with tighter ceiling clearance.

Chain-Drive Cylinders with Dual-Point Lock Release

Chain-over hydraulic drive keeps both columns synchronized, and the dual-point lock release engages the safety locks at each column.

Auto Arm Restraint System

Keeps the swing arms secured in position once set, reducing arm swing/repositioning during loading.

TP9KF-TUX vs. TP9KAC-TUX — Floor Plate or Clear Floor?

Same 9,000 lb capacity and 72 in max lift height on both — the real difference is arm geometry, floor design, and overall height.

Choose the TP9KF-TUX if your bay has less overhead clearance or you prefer symmetric arm reach. Choose the TP9KAC-TUX if you want asymmetric arms and a fully clear floor. Call (817) 865-3707 if you're not sure which fits your shop.

✅ Best For

• ✅ Lower-ceiling bays that need the shorter overall height
• ✅ Shops that prefer symmetric, front-to-back-identical arm reach

❌ Not Ideal For

• ❌ Shops that specifically want a fully clear floor with no plate between columns
