Forward BP9 9,000lb 2 Post Lift - Low Ceiling/ALI Certified

BP9 9,000 lb Low-Ceiling Two-Post Symmetric Lift with Floorplate Design

The BP9 is a professional-grade low-ceiling two-post symmetric vehicle lift designed specifically for shops with limited overhead clearance. With an overall height of just 111.25 inches, this lift delivers full 9,000 lb lifting capacity while fitting comfortably in service bays with ceiling heights as low as 113 inches. Its floorplate design eliminates the need for an overhead crossbar, making it ideal for low-clearance environments without sacrificing performance.

Engineered for durability and daily commercial use, the BP9 features a rugged steel base plate that runs between the columns to protect hydraulic hoses and cables typically routed overhead. This configuration enhances safety while maintaining smooth lifting operation. The lift offers flexible arm reach and optional height extensions, allowing technicians to service a wide range of passenger vehicles, light trucks, and SUVs with confidence.

The BP9 is an excellent solution for independent repair shops, tire centers, and home or light-commercial garages where ceiling height is a limiting factor. Designed to deliver Rotary-level reliability in space-restricted environments, this lift provides a dependable, long-term solution for shops that require professional lifting capability without structural modifications.

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. 

How do I know if my order requires a forklift or if a lift gate service is available?

Residential Deliveries

Yes, we deliver to residential addresses!

Will the freight company contact me to schedule the delivery?

Yes, the freight company will call you ahead of time to schedule the delivery to ensure you are available to receive/unload your order. 

Warehouse Pickup (No Freight Charge)

Warehouse pickup is available for almost all of our brands.  Warehouse locations are listed on each product page.  At checkout, select "Pickup" and choose the warehouse you'd like to pickup from.  Upon ordering, we will send an email with the pickup form/number. 

Freight Terminals

If you don't have a forklift at your location, we can find you a freight terminal in your area and they will load your trailer onsite.  (Typically 30-60 minute drive away, depending on location) Special note: Some orders are so large they ship on a flatbed by themselves, in these cases a freight terminal delivery is not an option.  The product page will state whether this is the case. 

Flat Rate Shipping and Freight Quotes

Most of our products have a flat rate shipping fee. However, if you see a note that says "Contact us to see if we can ship for less" then this means we're able to quote for a better price.  Contact Us now!
