The robust steel construction ensures long-lasting performance under heavy loads. 12K capacity at the clear-floor configuration covers crew cabs, work vans, and light commercial vehicles in residential or low-ceiling bays.

Clear-floor routing keeps cables and hoses overhead, leaving the working area trip-free for tools, creepers, and tech movement.

Katool KT-M120 Frequently Asked Questions
Will my truck or van fit on the KT-M120?
Yes -- as a 12,000 lb 2 post lift it covers everything through 1-ton single-rear-wheel trucks, and the 117.75' drive-thru clearance takes duallys' mirrors, work vans, and box-bodied sprinters that scrape through narrower lifts. Only the 14,000 lb KT-M140XD is wider, at 133'.
How tall is it, really?
This is the tall one: 166.75' (13'11') overall, so plan on a 14-foot ceiling. That height is the point -- maximum rise for tall vans and lifted trucks with full standing room underneath. Under lower ceilings, the H120D carries the same 12,000 lbs at just 110.9' tall.
Which Katool 12,000 lb 2-post is right for me?
Three ways to get 12,000 lbs: this KT-M120 is the extra-tall clear-floor for vans and high-ceiling shops; the AM120SD is the standard clear-floor with symmetric arms at 144' tall; and the H120D is the floor-plate model that fits under 10-foot ceilings. Need less capacity? The KT-M110 saves a step down at 11,000 lbs.
Does the KT-M120 run on 110V power?
No -- it needs 220V single-phase on a dedicated circuit. If your garage only has 110V, see our Katool 4 post lifts, several of which offer 110V motors; have a qualified electrician confirm your circuit.
Do I need to bolt it to the floor?
Yes -- every 2-post must be anchored, and at this height it matters doubly. The Katool manual gives two minimum slab thicknesses at 3,000 PSI compressive strength, 6.5' in its floor requirements table and 150 mm (5.9') in its installation section, so confirm with Katool and verify your concrete before ordering.
Should I get a 2-post or a 4-post lift?
Two-posts like this one are built for repair work -- wheels hang free for brakes, suspension, and tires. Four-posts win for storage and drive-on ease. Our 2-Post vs 4-Post guide walks through the decision in five minutes.
How does freight delivery work?
The lift ships as freight at about 1,653 lbs. You can choose curbside freight delivery or free pickup at one of 19 warehouse locations nationwide -- enter your ZIP above to find the closest one. Most orders arrive within 1-2 weeks.
Is the Katool KT-M120 worth it?
A 12,000 lb clear-floor with a 3-year structural warranty at this price undercuts the big names by thousands -- and the extra height future-proofs the bay for taller vehicles.
