Tuxedo TP9KFX — 9,000 lb Two Post Floor-Plate Lift, Symmetric

The Tuxedo TP9KFX is a 9,000 lb capacity two-post lift with a floor-plate design — a steel plate connects the base of both columns — and symmetric arms with identical 31 in to 45 in reach on both sides. The floor-plate configuration ties the columns together structurally at ground level, an alternative mounting approach to the clear-floor TP9KACX/TP9KSCX.

At 111-7/8 in overall column height, it's noticeably lower-profile than the 142-7/8 in clear-floor TP9KACX/TP9KSCX, which can matter in bays with limited ceiling clearance. Drive-thru clearance is 101 in with each arm rated to 2,250 lb, and the lift runs on 220V, 20A single-phase power.

It's built for shops with lower ceiling height or slab conditions better suited to a floor-plate mounting method, at the same 9,000 lb capacity and per-arm rating as the clear-floor TP9K models in this batch.

Who It's Built For

  • ✅ Shops with lower ceiling clearance that benefit from the TP9KFX's shorter 111-7/8 in overall column height
  • ✅ Facilities where a floor-plate mounting method suits the existing slab better than a clear-floor anchor pattern
  • ✅ General repair shops servicing passenger vehicles and light trucks up to 9,000 lb

What It's NOT Built For

  • ❌ Vehicles or loads exceeding 9,000 lb total or 2,250 lb per arm
  • ❌ Shops that specifically want a clear floor with no plate between the columns — see the TP9KACX or TP9KSCX

What Makes the TP9KFX Different

Floor-Plate Mounting

A steel floor plate connects the base of both columns, tying the lift together structurally at ground level — a different mounting approach than the clear-floor TP9KACX/TP9KSCX.

Lowest Overall Height in This Comparison Group

At 111-7/8 in overall column height, the TP9KFX is significantly shorter than the 142-7/8 in clear-floor TP9K models, useful for bays with limited ceiling clearance.

Symmetric Arm Geometry

Identical 31 in to 45 in reach on both front and rear arms, matching the TP9KSCX's arm geometry.

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, identical to the TP9KACX and TP9KSCX.

Footprint

110-3/8 in between columns, 134-5/8 in overall width with power unit, 101 in drive-thru clearance — confirm against your bay before ordering.

✅ Best For

  • ✅ Shops with lower ceiling height needing the shortest column profile in this 9,000 lb group
  • ✅ Facilities where floor-plate mounting fits the existing slab better than a clear-floor pattern
  • ✅ General service bays lifting passenger vehicles and light trucks up to 9,000 lb

❌ Not Ideal For

  • ❌ Loads over 9,000 lb total or 2,250 lb per arm
  • ❌ Shops that want a completely clear floor with no plate between the columns

TP9KFX vs. TP9KACX vs. TP9KSCX — 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.

Floor configuration Clear floor Clear floor Floor plate (columns tied together at base)
Height overall 142-7/8 in 142-7/8 in 111-7/8 in (lowest profile)
