Platinum-Grade Baseplate 2-Post Performance

The Atlas PVL9BP combines the premium engineering of the Platinum series with the installation flexibility of a baseplate-mounted design. With 9,000 lbs of ALI-certified lifting capacity, the PVL9BP occupies the sweet spot between the 8,000 lb standard models and the heavier 10,000+ lb lifts, making it an ideal choice for shops that regularly service a mix of passenger vehicles, SUVs, and light trucks. The baseplate design anchors directly to your concrete floor, eliminating the need for overhead structural support while providing a stable, rigid foundation.

Platinum Tri-Point Arm Restraint System

The PVL9BP features the Platinum series' tri-point arm restraint system, an advanced safety mechanism that secures each swing arm at three separate points during the lifting cycle. Traditional single-point restraints allow for some arm movement, but the tri-point design locks each arm firmly in position, preventing rotation or drift that could compromise vehicle stability. This is particularly important when working on vehicles with offset or asymmetric weight distribution.

Heavy-Duty Padded Overhead Shutoff Bar

A distinctive Platinum series feature is the heavy-duty padded overhead shutoff bar that spans between the tops of both columns. This bar serves as an automatic height limiter that contacts the vehicle and shuts off the lift motor before the vehicle can make contact with the lift structure. The padded design protects the vehicle's roof and body panels from damage while providing a reliable mechanical safety stop that functions independently of the electronic control system.

Proven Hydraulic Performance

The PVL9BP uses the same chain-over-cylinder equalization system found throughout the Atlas 2-post lineup, ensuring both columns rise in perfect synchronization regardless of load distribution. The hydraulic power unit delivers smooth, consistent lifting performance with a motor sized to handle the 9,000 lb capacity efficiently. Asymmetric and symmetric arm configurations give technicians full flexibility to position vehicles for optimal access during any service task.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PVL9BP requires a minimum concrete depth of 4.5 inches with a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 PSI. The concrete must be in good condition without cracks or deterioration in the anchor zones. Steel-reinforced concrete is recommended for optimal holding strength.
The Platinum series designation reflects premium features including the tri-point arm restraint system, heavy-duty padded overhead shutoff bar, and enhanced build quality. These features provide additional safety and vehicle protection beyond what is found on standard Atlas 2-post lifts.
The PVL9BP requires 220V single-phase power at 60Hz. A dedicated circuit is required to power the hydraulic motor. Standard shop electrical service typically supports this requirement.
Yes. Panther Lift partners with a nationwide network of certified lift installers who can handle the complete installation process, from concrete assessment through final safety inspection. Contact our team after purchase to schedule professional installation in your area.
Yes. The 9,000 lb capacity handles most standard trucks and SUVs with ease. The asymmetric and symmetric arm configurations provide flexible vehicle positioning for a wide range of vehicle types and sizes.
The padded overhead shutoff bar spans between the tops of both columns and automatically shuts off the lift motor when the vehicle contacts it, preventing the vehicle from rising into the lift structure. The padded surface protects the vehicle's roof and body from damage.
