Professional 4-Post Lifting on Household Power

The Atlas 408SL makes professional-grade 4-post lifting accessible to home garages and hobbyist shops by running on standard 110V household power. While most commercial lifts demand 220V circuits and dedicated electrical work, the 408SL plugs into the same outlets that power your other garage equipment. The compact 1.5HP motor delivers sufficient power to raise vehicles up to 8,000 lbs smoothly and consistently, making this an ideal solution for enthusiasts who want to store, display, or service their vehicles at home.

Drive-On Convenience for Any Skill Level

The 4-post runway design eliminates the arm positioning and pickup-point knowledge required by 2-post lifts. You simply drive the vehicle onto the runways, engage the safety locks, and raise the platform to your desired working height. This straightforward operation makes the 408SL accessible to home mechanics and enthusiasts who may not have professional training in lift operation. The built-in approach ramps provide a smooth, gradual incline for easy vehicle loading.

Dual-Purpose Vehicle Storage and Service

One of the greatest advantages of a 4-post lift is the ability to stack vehicles vertically. The 408SL lets you park one vehicle on the runways and store or work on a second vehicle underneath, effectively doubling your garage capacity. For collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone dealing with limited garage space, this vertical storage capability transforms a standard two-car garage into space for three or four vehicles. The lift also serves as a full-service platform for oil changes, brake work, exhaust repairs, and other undercarriage maintenance.

ALI-Certified Safety and Build Quality

Despite its hobbyist positioning, the 408SL carries full ALI/ETL certification, meaning it has been independently tested and verified to meet the same rigorous safety standards as commercial shop lifts. The heavy-duty steel runway construction, multi-position lock ladder, and cable-and-chain equalization system ensure safe, stable operation at every height. Integrated wheel chocks and safety locks prevent vehicle movement on the runways during storage or service.
