Overview

The Atlas FM9SL is a premium flush-mount scissor lift engineered for shops requiring seamless integration with their facility floor. When lowered to its resting position, the platforms sit flush with the surrounding concrete, allowing vehicles to drive directly over the lift without speed bumps or clearance concerns. This makes the FM9SL ideal for busy service centers and automotive shops where workflow efficiency matters. With a robust 9,000-pound capacity and adjustable telescoping platforms, the FM9SL accommodates a wide range of vehicle sizes and weights.

Installation and Design

The FM9SL requires in-ground installation with a pit excavation of at least 13 inches deep. This underground mounting approach provides the flush platform advantage—when fully lowered, work surfaces align perfectly with the shop floor. The lift features air-operated safety locks and adjustable platform lengths ranging from 64.5 to 80.5 inches, accommodating both compact cars and extended-wheelbase vehicles. Its maximum lifting height of 85 inches (7 feet 1 inch) provides excellent working clearance for technicians underneath vehicles. The entire assembly is built for indoor use only with a working temperature range of 14°F to 104°F.

Performance and Operation

Powered by a 220V, single-phase 2.2kW (3HP) motor operating at 2,800 RPM, the FM9SL raises vehicles smoothly to working height in approximately 60 seconds. The lift utilizes a gear-type pump with 2.1 cm³/g displacement and operates continuously at 240 bar with peak pressures up to 250 bar. The system requires compressed air in the range of 87 to 116 PSI (6 to 8 bar) for the safety lock actuation. Noise levels remain manageable at 80 dB(A) measured one meter away. An optional 3-phase 400V motor configuration is available for facilities with three-phase electrical infrastructure.

Unloading Requirements

This lift ships curbside via freight truck and weighs approximately 2,025 lbs. You are responsible for offloading at your location. A forklift, tractor with forks, or equivalent heavy equipment must be available on-site at the time of delivery. The carrier will not unload the freight.

Compressed Air Required

The FM9SL safety lock system requires compressed air supply of 87 to 116 PSI (6 to 8 bar). Ensure your facility has an adequately sized air compressor and properly maintained air lines. Panther Lift can assess your air system during installation and recommend any upgrades needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Atlas FM9SL requires a minimum pit depth of 13 inches for proper installation. The pit must be excavated to accommodate the lift's lowered profile, which ensures the platforms sit flush with the surrounding shop floor. Panther Lift can assess your concrete and advise on pit specifications during the consultation process.
Yes. The FM9SL features telescoping platforms that adjust from 64.5 to 80.5 inches in length, allowing it to safely support vehicles ranging from compact cars to full-size trucks. The platform width is 21.5 inches, with adjustable spacing between platforms up to 31 inches, accommodating various vehicle widths and wheelbase configurations.
The Atlas FM9SL reaches a maximum lifting height of 85 inches (7 feet 1 inch). This provides excellent working clearance underneath vehicles, allowing technicians to perform maintenance, repairs, and inspections comfortably without stooping or working in confined spaces.
Yes. Panther Lift provides professional lift installation services throughout the United States. Our installation team handles everything from concrete inspection and electrical prep to full lift assembly, hydraulic setup, and final safety testing. Contact us to schedule an installation or to get a quote for your location.
The FM9SL uses pneumatic locks that engage automatically during the lifting cycle. The system requires compressed air in the range of 87 to 116 PSI (6 to 8 bar). Once engaged, the locks hold the vehicle securely at the working height, ensuring safe operation. The locks release only when pressure is applied to lower the vehicle in a controlled manner.
The standard FM9SL configuration includes a 220V, single-phase 2.2kW (3HP) motor operating at 2,800 RPM with 2 poles. An alternative 3-phase 400V motor option is also available for facilities with three-phase electrical infrastructure. Consult with Panther Lift to determine the best power configuration for your shop's electrical system.
The Atlas FM9SL raises vehicles from the lowered position to maximum height in approximately 60 seconds. This moderate cycle time allows for efficient workflow while the gear pump maintains consistent pressure and smooth lifting action throughout the entire range of motion.
The FM9SL requires regular maintenance including periodic inspection of the hydraulic pump and seals, checking compressed air quality and pressure settings, inspecting safety locks for proper engagement, and monitoring the motor and pump for unusual noise or vibration. Panther Lift provides maintenance guidance and replacement parts to keep your lift operating safely and efficiently throughout its service life.
The Atlas FM9SL operates at 80 dB(A) measured one meter away during normal lifting cycles. This noise level is typical for industrial hydraulic lifts and should not cause significant disruption in a busy shop environment. Noise levels may vary slightly depending on pump wear and maintenance condition.
No. The Atlas FM9SL is designed for indoor use only. While it operates across a wide temperature range of 14°F to 104°F, the lift's hydraulic system and electronic components are not sealed against moisture and precipitation. Installation must be inside a climate-controlled or covered facility.
