Description
Reliable 4-Post Lifting Power. Compact Footprint. Built for SUVs, Trucks & Everyday Shop Use.
The Katool KT-4H850 4-Post Lift is designed for users who need real lifting capability without stepping into oversized commercial equipment. With a solid 8,500 lb rated capacity, it comfortably handles most cars, SUVs, and light trucks while maintaining stability and ease of use in both home garages and professional settings.
This model is CE-certified and rigorously tested for safety, including 115% dynamic load testing and 150% static load testing, giving you confidence under working conditions. Four independent mechanical locking systems engage through 12 adjustable height positions spaced every 4.7 inches, providing secure and flexible working heights for a wide range of service tasks.
Non-slip diamond-plate runways help keep vehicles firmly in place during loading and lifting, while a single-point manual release system allows all four locks to be disengaged from one control location for simplified operation and improved efficiency.
Speed and usability are built in, with a lifting cycle of approximately 75 seconds up and 40 seconds down, helping reduce downtime between jobs. The compact design makes it especially practical for garages with limited ceiling height, featuring posts at 83.66 inches and a maximum lift height of 70.87 inches.
Installation flexibility is another advantage— the power column can be mounted on any side of the lift to better suit your workspace layout. This unit is also fully free-standing with no anchor bolts required, making setup more straightforward in a variety of shop environments.
Each lift includes a caster kit, two drip trays, and a jack tray, providing added mobility and convenience right out of the box. Whether for storage, maintenance, or routine service work, the KT-4H850 delivers dependable performance in a compact, user-friendly package.
Perfect for: Home garages • Small repair shops • SUV & light truck maintenance • Vehicle storage • General automotive service • Space-conscious workshops
