Daytona LTPF9 9,000 lb Two Post Floorplate Lift

On ceiling height, very likely. At 110.0' the lift needs about 9'-6', and most modern residential garages are built at 9 or 10 feet. Measure to the lowest obstruction, which is usually the garage door track or opener rather than the ceiling itself. The bigger question is your slab. Daytona's concrete figures for this lift differ, so check your slab against them before anything else.

Smaller capacity means shorter columns. The LTPF9 is 110.0' against 114.0' for the LTPF12, and both reach the same 74.8' of lifting height. If 9,000 lbs covers your work, this one saves you four inches of ceiling and about 900 lbs of freight.

For cars, crossovers, SUVs, minivans, and half-ton pickups, comfortably. A loaded F-150 crew cab sits around 5,500 lbs. Where 9,000 gets tight is three-quarter and one-ton diesels, which can curb at 7,000 to 8,600 lbs before you add anything. If those are regular work, step up to a 10,000 or 12,000 lb model.

The plate itself. It sits 0.6' proud of the floor between the columns, and creepers, drain pans, and jacks roll over it. It also collects dirt. In exchange the lift is 30 inches shorter than an overhead model, which for a lot of buyers is the difference between owning a two post lift and not.

Daytona's documents differ on this lift's concrete (manual floor section: 4' of steel-reinforced 3,500 PSI concrete cured 28 days; manual installation section: C30 foundations deeper than 800 mm; Daytona product FAQ: '4-6 inches' at 3,000-4,000 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. Check this before the ceiling. If your slab does not qualify, a pad can be poured. Verifying concrete is the customer's responsibility, and installing on an inadequate slab is genuinely dangerous.

No. 240V single phase, 3 HP, 13 amps, 60Hz on a dedicated circuit. Have a licensed electrician confirm the circuit and breaker sizing before the installer arrives.

The LTPF9 ships as freight in two pieces: the lift at 114' x 18' x 30' and 1,300 lbs, and the power unit at 31' x 12' x 11' and 60 lbs. At 1,360 lbs total this is the lightest lift Daytona makes, which makes it the most manageable to receive. Curbside freight delivery and warehouse pickup are both available.

Five years structural, two years on power units, cylinders, and seal kits, and one year on all other defective parts. Daytona has served shops in the United States and Canada since 1999 and stocks parts in regional warehouses.
