Daytona LTPA10 10,000 lb Two Post Adjustable Overhead Lift

For most general repair work, yes. Ten thousand pounds covers every passenger car, SUV, minivan, and half-ton through one-ton single-rear-wheel pickup. An F-350 crew cab diesel curbs around 8,000 lbs, comfortably inside capacity. You need more only if dual rear wheel trucks, box trucks, or loaded commercial upfits are regular work, and then the 12,000 lb LTPA12 is the move.

Narrow puts the total footprint at 126.8' with 88.6' of drive-thru, wide takes it to 138.6' with 100.4'. If your bay is tight or you want room to walk around a car with the doors open, go narrow. If full-size trucks are the daily driver of your business, go wide. Call us with your bay width and the widest vehicle you service.

Both are 10,000 lb adjustable-width direct drive overhead lifts from Daytona, and they are close on paper. The difference that matters is that the BR10-2OH-33 is ALI Certified, which some fleet contracts, insurers, and inspection programs require. The LTPA10 is the narrower and less expensive of the two. If nobody is asking you for certification paperwork, the LTPA10 saves you money and bay space.

The lift stands 141.6' to the top of the overhead bar with 134.2' of clearance under the beam, so plan on a 12'-3' ceiling measured to the lowest obstruction, not the peak. If your bay is under 12 feet, the LTPF12 floorplate lift works at 114.0' tall. If you have extra height and service tall vans, the optional LTPA10-EXT kit adds two feet.

Minimum pad height is 4.5', which is low enough for most sports cars and mildly lowered vehicles. For anything sitting on coilovers at the bottom of the range, measure your pinch weld height first and call us. Screw-up pads are included, and the three-stage front arms reaching down to 21.6' help on short wheelbase cars.

Daytona's documents differ on this lift's concrete (current manual: 6.3' at 3,000 PSI, cured 28 days; flyer and product FAQ: 6' at 4,000 PSI), so confirm with Daytona before ordering. The slab must be cured and level within 3/8' across the installation area, with no anchor placed within 6' of a crack, edge, or expansion joint. If your slab does not qualify, a pad can be poured to accommodate the lift. Check with your local building inspector about permits. Verifying concrete is the customer's responsibility, and installing on an inadequate slab is genuinely dangerous.

The LTPA10 ships as freight on two pallets: the lift at 145' x 30' x 26' and 1,700 lbs, and the power unit at 31' x 12' x 11' and 60 lbs. At 1,760 lbs total it is the lightest lift in the Daytona two post range, which makes install day easier. Curbside freight delivery and warehouse pickup are both available.

Daytona covers this lift 5-2-1: five years structural, two years on electrical components, cylinders, and seal kits, and one year on defective parts. Daytona has served shops in the United States and Canada since 1999 and stocks parts in regional warehouses.
