Overview

The Atlas Platinum PVL15-EXT combines professional-grade 15,000 lb lifting capacity with an integrated 2-foot height extension kit, delivering maximum overhead reach for commercial automotive service facilities. This complete package arrives fully engineered with extended hydraulic hoses, reinforced cables, and additional column sections designed to work seamlessly together. ALI certification guarantees compliance with industry safety standards for heavy-duty commercial applications.

Height Extension Advantage

The extension kit raises overall height from 174½ inches to 198½ inches (16'6½), requiring minimum ceiling clearance of approximately 16 feet 8 inches. This extended configuration enables shops to service taller commercial trucks, box vehicles, service vans, and specialty equipment that demand greater overhead clearance. The maximum lifting height reaches 72¾ inches, while the minimum arm height is just 6 inches, providing comprehensive coverage for diverse vehicle types.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Built with symmetric arms, padded carriages, and a professional-grade arm lock restraint system, the PVL15-EXT delivers industrial reliability. Dual direct-drive hydraulic cylinders power smooth, controlled lifting at 80 seconds per cycle, with lowering in 40 seconds. Heavy-duty 3/8 inch equalization cables maintain balanced performance across the full lifting range. The patented Double S column design provides exceptional stability, while 3-stage front arms and 2-stage rear arms ensure balanced lifting on diverse vehicle platforms. Inside column clearance of 119¼ inches (9'11¼) and drive-thru clearance of 107½ inches (8'11½) accommodate standard and wide-body vehicles without compromise.

ALLY Hydraulic Power Unit

The system includes an ALLY Hydraulic AL2300 Power Unit, MET Labs certified for US and Canada operation. This professional-grade motor features extra heavy-duty armatures with more motor windings and optimized heat generation, delivering constant torque performance. The 220V single-phase motor requires a 30 amp breaker and operates at 50-60Hz for flexible facility integration. Oil capacity is 3-5 gallons of AW32/AW46 (not included with purchase).
