Atlas® Platinum PVL12 – ALI Certified 12,000 lb. Capacity Heavy-Duty 2-Post Lift
The Atlas® Platinum PVL12 is a commercial-grade, ALI Certified two-post lift engineered for professional automotive service centers that require power, precision, and reliability. With a 12,000 lb. lifting capacity, this heavy-duty model is designed to handle everything from passenger cars and SUVs to long-wheelbase trucks, vans, and box trucks.
The lift’s low pad height makes it suitable for smaller vehicles, while its extra-wide column spacing provides ample clearance for larger vehicles and those with extended side mirrors. Its taller column height accommodates high-roof vans and other oversized vehicles with ease, offering true versatility for multi-vehicle operations.
Built to exceed industry standards, the Atlas® Platinum PVL12 combines strength and functionality with ALI certification, ensuring it meets the most rigorous safety and performance requirements. It’s also backed by one of the best warranties in the industry, providing lasting peace of mind.
Powering the PVL12 is the ALLY Hydraulic AL2300 Power Unit, certified by MET Laboratories Inc. for electrical safety compliance in both the United States and Canada. The ALLY unit features extra heavy-duty armatures and enhanced silver-infused motor windings to reduce heat buildup and maintain consistent torque throughout the lift cycle. This premium power unit is protected by an industry-leading two-year limited warranty for added confidence.
