Product Overview
The Forward Lift BP9 is an ALI-certified two-post lift specifically engineered for automotive shops and home garages with low ceiling clearances. With a robust 9,000-lb. (approximately 4,082 kg) lifting capacity, its innovative base plate design allows it to comfortably fit under ceilings as low as 10 feet (overall height: 111.25 inches or 2,826 mm), while still delivering professional-grade performance and exceptional durability.
This lift is meticulously designed to handle a wide range of vehicles, from compact passenger cars to light trucks, offering high-quality construction and upholding Forward Lift’s reputation for long-lasting dependability. Key features include dual hydraulic cylinders that ensure smooth and consistent lifting operations, and low-profile threaded adapters with included extensions for versatile vehicle engagement. Safety is a paramount consideration, with a carriage latch system that engages every 3 inches, providing multiple secure holding positions throughout the lift range. A secondary lock system, featuring a spring-actuated slack chain device, adds an additional layer of security. The durable powder-coated, oven-baked finish ensures long-term resistance to wear, corrosion, and the harsh elements of a garage environment. The Forward Lift BP9 combines powerful lifting capabilities with a space-saving design, making it an ideal solution for facilities where overhead space is a critical concern, without compromising on safety or performance.
