Description
Atlas® APEX8 – ALI Certified 8,000 lb. Portable Hobbyist 4-Post Lift
The Atlas® APEX8 is the ALI Certified version of the popular Atlas® Garage PRO8000, offering the same proven design with added assurance of compliance with the Automotive Lift Institute’s (ALI) safety and performance standards. Built for car enthusiasts, homeowners, and restoration shops, this lift is the perfect solution for those who need more parking space or want an efficient setup for vehicle maintenance and storage. With an 8,000 lb. lifting capacity, the APEX8 allows users to stack most passenger vehicles and effectively double their garage space.
Engineered specifically for non-commercial use, the APEX8 is ideal for private garages and light-duty restoration applications. It is not intended for high-frequency, commercial repair environments where the lift would be raised and lowered repeatedly throughout the day.
The APEX8 is nearly 200 lb. heavier than comparable hobbyist lifts, reflecting its robust build quality and enhanced stability. Each unit comes equipped with a caster kit featuring polyurethane wheels, which can be installed or removed in minutes, making the lift fully portable and easy to move between bays or even outdoors.
Combining heavy-duty construction, ALI certification, and outstanding portability, the Atlas® APEX8 delivers exceptional safety, reliability, and value — making it one of the best-performing 4-post hobbyist lifts in its class.
Many customers who purchase this model also add the Atlas® RJ35 rolling bridge jack for wheel-off service.
