Overview

The Atlas SLP9K is a versatile surface-mount scissor lift that eliminates the need for pit excavation, making it an ideal choice for shops with concrete floors or existing facilities where underground installation is impractical. With a generous 9,000-pound capacity and a working height of 78 inches (6 feet 6 inches), the SLP9K provides ample clearance for vehicle service and repairs. The lift features ten precision locking positions, allowing technicians to position vehicles at the exact height required for their work, whether performing wheel service, undercarriage work, or engine repairs.

Design and Installation

Unlike flush-mount lifts, the SLP9K bolts directly to the shop floor, requiring no pit excavation or special concrete preparation beyond a standard 4-inch concrete slab with 3,000 PSI rating. This surface-mount design offers significant installation advantages, reducing labor costs and eliminating the need for concrete contractors. The lift features four lifting cylinders—two per platform—providing exceptional stability and load distribution. The platforms measure 59.5 inches by 25.5 inches with approach ramps of 11 inches by 25.5 inches, accommodating both low-profile sports cars and high-clearance trucks. Platform width between supports is adjustable up to 31 inches for versatile vehicle accommodation.

Performance and Operation

The SLP9K is powered by a 220V, single-phase 2.2kW (3HP) motor operating at 2,800 RPM, delivering vehicles to working height in approximately 50 seconds. The gear-type pump operates continuously at 260 bar with peak pressures up to 280 bar, providing smooth and responsive lifting characteristics. The system requires compressed air in the range of 87 to 145 PSI (6 to 10 bar) for the air-operated safety locks. With four lifting cylinders instead of two, the SLP9K distributes loads more evenly across the platforms, reducing stress on structural components and extending service life. Noise levels remain low at 70 dB(A) measured one meter away, allowing comfortable operation in busy shops.

Before You Buy

Free Freight Shipping

Ships free via freight carrier to commercial addresses in the continental United States (48 states). Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam are excluded from free freight — contact us for a shipping quote to those locations.

Unloading Requirements

This lift ships curbside via freight truck and weighs approximately 2,400 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 SLP9K safety lock system requires compressed air supply of 87 to 145 PSI (6 to 10 bar). Ensure your facility has an adequately sized air compressor and properly maintained air lines to maintain consistent pressure. Panther Lift can assess your air system during installation and recommend upgrades if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Atlas SLP9K requires a minimum 4-inch concrete slab with a PSI rating of at least 3,000. The lift bolts directly to the concrete floor using anchor bolts. Panther Lift will inspect your concrete during the pre-installation assessment to ensure it meets specifications. If your concrete does not meet requirements, we can recommend reinforcement options or concrete repairs.
The SLP9K surface-mount design bolts directly to your floor with no pit excavation, reducing installation costs and labor time significantly. However, when lowered, the lift has a 4.5-inch minimum height above the floor, so vehicles cannot drive over it as they can with flush-mount models. Surface-mount offers easier installation at the trade-off of a slightly higher lowered profile.
The ten locking positions allow technicians to position vehicles at precise heights suited to the specific service task. Whether performing wheel work, undercarriage service, or engine repairs, technicians can select the optimal height, improving ergonomics, safety, and work efficiency. The air-actuated locks engage and disengage smoothly at each position.

The four lifting cylinders—two per platform—distribute loads more evenly across the lift structure. This design reduces stress on individual components, improves stability when lifting off-center loads, and extends the service life of the lift by decreasing wear on the hydraulic system and structural members.
The SLP9K safety lock system requires compressed air in the range of 87 to 145 PSI (6 to 10 bar). This slightly higher pressure range compared to some other lifts accommodates the dual-cylinder design. Ensure your facility has an adequately sized air compressor capable of maintaining consistent pressure throughout the locking cycle.
The Atlas SLP9K raises vehicles from the lowered position to maximum height (78 inches) in approximately 50 seconds. This rapid lift cycle is faster than many competing models, allowing your shop to move through service operations more efficiently while the four-cylinder design maintains smooth, controlled movement.
The SLP9K requires regular maintenance including checking oil levels (3.5 gallons AW32/AW46), inspecting hydraulic hoses and seals for leaks, verifying compressed air pressure and quality, checking the air-operated locks for proper engagement at all ten positions, and monitoring the motor and pump for unusual noise or vibration. Panther Lift provides detailed maintenance schedules and replacement parts to ensure long-term reliability.
The Atlas SLP9K operates at 70 dB(A) measured one meter away during normal lifting cycles. This relatively quiet operation is one of the benefits of the precision gear pump design. Noise levels may vary slightly depending on maintenance condition and pump wear over time.
No. The Atlas SLP9K 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 to protect components and maintain safe operation.
The lift platform measures 59.5 inches in length by 25.5 inches in width. Approach ramps are 11 inches long by 25.5 inches wide, providing smooth entry and exit for vehicles being positioned on the lift. Platform width between supports is adjustable up to 31 inches to accommodate various vehicle widths and designs.
Yes. The platform width between supports is adjustable up to 31 inches, allowing the SLP9K to safely support vehicles ranging from narrow sports cars to full-size trucks and SUVs. The adjustable configuration ensures secure contact and stable positioning for virtually any vehicle type in your service bay.
The standard SLP9K 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. Contact Panther Lift to determine the optimal power configuration for your shop's electrical system.
