The Model C portable car lift is a stable, two-post lift for shops, mobile technicians, and DIY enthusiasts—no concrete required.
It installs in minutes and comes in corded-electric or battery-powered versions for stationary or mobile use, making it perfect for home garages, workshops, and on-the-go repairs. The top brace features automatic up-and-down movement, and the open two-post design provides full undercar access without a permanent footprint.
Hitch it to your truck and tow it wherever you need it.
Made in California. No concrete ever.
Model C’s high-capacity battery pack solves the biggest challenge at remote job sites. With 8–12 full lift cycles per charge, you can work an entire day without stopping to find power. No extension cords running across driveways. No noisy generators.
No awkward “Sorry, I can’t do this job here.”

Unlike so-called “portable” lifts on the market, electric lifts are best suited for occasional use. Commercial-grade hydraulic lift systems are the industry standard for a reason—fewer moving parts, simpler mechanics, and longer service life under heavy cyclic loading.


Wide base plates distribute weight safely. Works on garage floors, asphalt, even epoxy coating.
Integrated hydraulic cylinders. No complex electrical components to fail. No battery degradation over time. Just proven industrial hydraulic technology that shops have relied on for decades.
Every lift takes 2-3 minutes of non-revenue time. Multiply by 20 lifts/day × 20 workdays = 13-20 hours per month doing what Model C does automatically.
On the Model C, the top beam rises in perfect synchronization with the lifting arms. This precision engineering ensures that even at full extension, the top beam will never dent the roof of the vehicle you're lifting. What this means for your shop:
You can safely lift taller vehicles – including vans, RVs, commercial trucks, and lifted pickups – without worrying about overhead damage.
No crushed roofs. No expensive repairs. No clearance-related accidents.
Unlike conventional lifts where the top beam can collide with the vehicle roof at full height, the Model C eliminates that risk entirely.
Dual Automatic Locking Systems – Mechanical + Hydraulic Your vehicle stays locked – even if power fails. The Model features dual automatic locking systems (mechanical + hydraulic). If the power supply is interrupted during the lifting process, your vehicle remains securely locked at the height reached. No dropping. No drifting. No hydraulic pressure required to hold position
✅ Fail-safe by design. Two independent systems work together to protect you, your vehicle, and your shop.
Wide base plates distribute the load uniformly at less than 120 PSI of ground pressure. For comparison, your typical garage floor supports 150 PSI from parked vehicles. That means the Model puts less stress on your floor than a parked car. Safe for:
🔹Residential garages
🔹Epoxy-coated floors
🔹Aged or cracked concrete
🔹Commercial shop floors
✅ No floor damage. No extra reinforcement needed.
69 -73 ½ inches of Lift Height – Stand Upright, Never Crawl. Stop working on your knees. Start working standing up.
This portable car lift lets you work standing upright beneath most vehicles. No crawling. No knee pads. No back strain. Just professional-grade comfort and efficiency.
Renting? Landlord won't approve anchoring? Model A doesn't modify your building. Post-tension slab from 2005? No problem—no drilling required. Need to move it between bays? 5 - 15 minutes. Want to take it to your new location next year? Load it up. Your $12,000 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. This isn’t just about lifting vehicles—it’s about lifting your entire operation. This is the only car lift system you’ll ever need to get the job done and done right.
In the fast-paced world of vehicle maintenance, having tools that keep up with your demands is crucial. While fixed lifts can handle the job, they often dominate your workspace and limit flexibility. The Model PCH-C8 changes this by being portable and stowable, allowing you to adapt your shop or garage layout as needed. It's more than just a lift—it's a smarter, more efficient way to operate.
