Two Tuxedo four-post storage lifts with the same rated capacity, but different footprints and lifting heights. Extra length and height change the space you need, not the rated load you can lift.

Manufacturer/catalog-sourced information, not hands-on testing. Verify the exact model and current manual before ordering.

Which to shortlist

FP8K-DX

Shortlist FP8K-DX when its published footprint and vehicle fit meet your needs. Its smaller footprint is worth checking before allocating more bay space to an extended model.

FP8K-DX-XLT

Shortlist FP8K-DX-XLT when your vehicles and garage justify the longer, taller design. It is not a higher-capacity substitute; verify vehicle and runway fit in the manual.

Site & receiving checks

  • At the intended locking position, clearance beneath the runways must accommodate the lower vehicle. Separately, upper vehicle height above the runway plus actual runway elevation must fit beneath the lowest overhead obstruction with manufacturer-required clearance.
  • Check door travel, runway thickness and lock settings in the manual. Maximum lifting height is not a required operating height.
  • Measure length including ramps, approach space and width. Confirm power and receiving equipment before ordering.
