Atlas FM9SL 9,000 lb In Ground Lift - Full Rise

FM9SL In Ground Lift by Atlas

In many service facilities, floor space is often limited, and above-ground lifts can obstruct the flow of work, making vehicle positioning difficult. Traditional in-ground lifts require extensive excavation, and maintaining access to hydraulic units can be cumbersome, leading to costly downtime and inefficient operations.

These issues not only slow down technicians, but they can also compromise safety and shop aesthetics. The lack of flexibility in adjusting platform width and the need for more space for larger vehicles often makes it harder to optimize each service bay, affecting productivity in high-volume environments.

The Atlas FM9SL 9,000 lb In-Ground Full Rise Scissor Lift addresses these challenges with its flush-mounted design, which eliminates above-ground obstructions and allows vehicles to be driven over the platforms from any direction. Its adjustable platform width and front/rear extensions cater to different vehicle sizes, while the open-center design and easy access to the self-contained control unit simplify maintenance, ensuring a smooth and efficient operation in any service facility.

Forklifts and Lift Gates

All of our Single Post, 2 Post, and 4 Post Lifts* require a forklift (or similar) to unload.  Tire Changers and Balancers and other small items allow for a lift gate service (At no additional charge) Lift gate service will lower your order to street level.  How do I know if a forklift is required? See the drop down options that show when you're attempting to place an order. 

What if I don't have a forklift at my location and my order requires it?

This is a common question and here's some alternatives:

• We can deliver to a local freight terminal near you.  Typically this is within 30-60 minutes away depending on location.  We will find a location - Contact Us
• Do you have a buddy that owns a forklift and we can ship it there?  Does your place of work have a forklift?  Select this location as the delivery address. 
• Warehouse pickup - This is always an option but depends how far you're willing to drive. 
• Rent a forklift - This is the least favorable option but may be necessary.  We always schedule the delivery so this should minimize the days required to rent.

Can I hand unload my order if I don't have a forklift? 

No, sorry, the truck drivers don't allow for this.  2 things: Liabilities and the time it takes to unload - truck drivers can't wait, even if you have an army of help.
