The Portable Car Hoist Model A revolutionizes vehicle lifting. Fully portable, it adapts to your workflow, letting you reconfigure your shop or garage in minutes. Unlike fixed lifts, it provides flexibility, efficiency, and professional-grade performance wherever you work. It’s not just a lift—it’s a smarter, faster, and more productive way to service vehicles.
Dual automatic locking systems – mechanical + hydraulic – provide fail-safe vehicle lift safety. If power supply is interrupted during lifting, your vehicle remains securely locked at the achieved height. No dropping. No drifting.
Floor-friendly design: Wide base plates distribute load evenly, exerting less than 120 PSI of ground pressure – well below the 150 PSI that standard garage floors support with parked vehicles. Safe for residential garages, commercial shops, and even epoxy-coated floors.
American-made durability: This is not rented or imported equipment. The Portable Car Hoist Model A is proudly American-made, constructed from welded steel, engineered for daily commercial use, and built to last over 20 years. No shortcuts. No planned obsolescence. Just professional-grade equipment you can rely on day after day.
69–73½" Lift Height – Work Standing Upright
No crawling around on the floor. No straining your back. Just professional-grade lifting. With a maximum lifting height of 69–73½ inches, the Model A portable car lift allows you to work standing up beneath most cars, trucks, and SUVs. Ideal for:
🔹Transmission removal
🔹Exhaust system work
🔹Suspension inspection
🔹Brake repair
🔹Oil changes
🔹Any task performed by a full-service shop
Folding Top Beam – Easy Transport & Storage. The top beam folds down, reducing overall height and footprint so you can easily transport and store the lift.

Need to move it between bays? 5 - 15 minutes. Want to take it to a new location next year? Load it up. Your investment stays yours, not your landlord’s.
Don’t settle for static lifts or limited tools—invest in the Model A Portable Car Hoist and redefine what’s possible in your workspace.
