Professional 2-Post Overhead Lift System

The Atlas 9KOHX represents a proven solution for shops requiring reliable, space-efficient lifting capacity. At Panther Lift, we recognize that shops need equipment that delivers consistent performance without occupying excessive floor space. This chain-driven 2-post overhead lift provides 9,000 lbs of total capacity (4,500 lbs per arm), making it suitable for most standard vehicles and light truck work. The overhead configuration maximizes your available shop floor, keeping valuable workspace clear for other equipment and operations.

Design and Performance Features

The 9KOHX features a robust chain-driven design with a 2HP motor that achieves a rise time of approximately 60 seconds. The system incorporates 3-stage front arms and 2-stage rear arms, allowing technicians to adjust reach and height for optimal positioning of different vehicle types. With a rise height of 74 inches and an overall height of 142 inches, this lift requires a minimum ceiling height of 148 inches to operate safely. The width between columns measures 109.75 inches, providing adequate spacing for vehicle positioning while maintaining a compact footprint. Front arm reach extends from 28.5 to 41.625 inches, while rear arm reach ranges from 39.125 to 57.625 inches, accommodating various vehicle configurations.

Safety and Installation

Panther Lift recommends professional installation for all overhead lift systems to ensure proper mounting, electrical connection, and safety mechanism verification. The 9KOHX includes mechanical safety locks that prevent unexpected lowering during maintenance work. Installation requires a minimum of 4 inches of concrete with a PSI rating of 3,000 or higher. The system features an overhead shutoff mechanism located approximately 135 inches from the floor, providing convenient emergency shutdown capability. The motor operates on 208-230V, 60Hz, single-phase electrical service, which is standard in most commercial shops.

Color Options and Long-Term Value

The 9KOHX is available in Blue, Red, or Black finishes, allowing you to coordinate the lift with your shop's existing color scheme and branding. At Panther Lift, we stand behind the durability and reliability of this system for years of dependable service. The chain-driven mechanism and mechanical lock system represent time-tested technology that many shops continue to rely on for daily operations.
