Tired of Space Constraints? Upgrade to the Tuxedo TP9KAC-TUX 9,000 lb 2-Post Car Lift for Faster, Safer Service
Finding the right 2 post lift for your garage or professional shop can be overwhelming. Many lifts on the market either lack the strength you need, take up too much space, or donβt provide safe and efficient access to the vehicle. The Tuxedo TP9KAC-TUX solves these issues with a rock-solid 9,000 lb. capacity and a smart asymmetric design that maximizes door clearance, making it easier to enter and exit vehicles once theyβre raised. The TUX variant configuration of the 9K asymmetric line includes Tuxedo's premium component upgrades (heavy-duty cables, premium hydraulics, reinforced safety system). For shops where lift uptime is mission-critical, the small premium delivers measurable durability.
This Tuxedo 2 post lift features a clear floor configuration, meaning thereβs no crossbar at ground level. Giving you full, unobstructed access to the underside of every vehicle you work on. From oil changes to suspension overhauls, youβll enjoy more room to maneuver without tripping hazards. The combination of chain-over hydraulics and dual point lock release ensures smooth lifting performance and dependable safety every time you raise a car or truck. 9,000 lb capacity with Tuxedo's TUX-tier construction. Aircraft-grade synchronization cables, sealed hydraulic system, and reinforced safety mechanisms rated for daily commercial cycling.
With its 72-inch max lifting height, the TP9KAC-TUX is versatile enough for cars, SUVs, and light trucks, while the adjustable swing arms and included stackable adapter pads let you accommodate different lifting points with ease. Backed by Tuxedoβs 5-year structural warranty, this 9000 lb 2 post lift is built to handle daily shop use while delivering confidence and efficiency for years to come. For commercial shops where lift downtime equals lost revenue, the TP9KAC-TUX is the long-term-value choice in the 9K asymmetric category.

Benefits of the Tuxedo TP9KAC-TUX Two Post Lift
Key Features of the Tuxedo TP9KAC-TUX 2-Post Lift You'll Love:
β’ Asymmetric Swing Arm Design: The asymmetric arm configuration gives better door clearance when opening vehicle doors on the lift. This makes it easier for technicians to enter and exit vehicles safely while theyβre raised, improving shop efficiency.
β’ Dual Point Lock Release & Arm Restraints: Built-in safety features lock the arms securely in place and require a dual release mechanism. This reduces risk during service work and keeps vehicles firmly stabilized while overhead.
β’ Hydraulic βChain-Overβ Drive System: This proven lifting system ensures smooth performance, reliable operation, and long service life. The hydraulic setup minimizes wear while delivering consistent power, even under full capacity.
β’ Clear Floor Design: Unlike floorplate lifts, this clear floor model removes obstructions under the vehicle. That means you have more space to roll tool carts, transmission jacks, or oil drains directly beneath the car.
β’ 21 Locking Positions: With 21 positions available, you can stop at the exact height needed for different jobs. This flexibility improves ergonomics and reduces strain, letting you work comfortably for extended periods.
β’ Stackable Adapter Pads: Included with the lift, these adapters allow you to adjust lifting points to fit a wide range of vehicles. Whether youβre servicing compact cars or light-duty trucks, youβll have the right setup for every job.

Tuxedo TP9KAC-TUX Frequently Asked Questions
How is the TP9KAC-TUX different from the TP9KACX?
Both are asymmetric clear-floor lifts on the same 9,000 lb platform. The TUX variant carries Tuxedo's component upgrades -- heavy-duty synchronization cables, upgraded hydraulics, and a reinforced safety system -- aimed at longer service life under daily cycling. If you want the standard version of this configuration, that's the TP9KACX.
Will my truck fit on the TP9KAC-TUX?
The 9,000 lb 2 post lift rating covers sedans, SUVs, and half-ton pickups with margin. The asymmetrical 2 post lift layout sets the vehicle rearward so doors swing wide open between the columns. For 3/4-ton trucks and vans, step up to the 11,000 lb TP11KC-DX.
Which Tuxedo 9,000 lb 2-post is right for me?
This TP9KAC-TUX is the upgraded asymmetric clear-floor model. The TP9KACX is the standard asymmetric clear-floor; the TP9KSCX is the symmetric clear-floor; the TP9KFX is the floor-plate model for low ceilings; and the TP9KF-TUX is this lift's symmetric counterpart.
How much ceiling height do I need?
The overhead beam stands about 142-11/16' (11'10'), so plan on 148' (12'4') of ceiling. Under 10 feet? The floor-plate TP9KFX or TP9KF-TUX carries the same 9,000 lbs at about 112' tall.
Do I need to bolt it to the floor?
Yes -- every 2-post must be anchored. The TP9KAC-TUX calls for concrete at least 4-1/4' thick at 3,000 PSI compressive strength. Verify your slab 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.
Is the Tuxedo TP9KAC-TUX worth it?
Upgraded cables and hydraulics on an asymmetric clear-floor design, backed by a 5-year structural warranty -- that's the TUX-variant pitch. See the Reviews tab above for buyer feedback, and read our Are Tuxedo Lifts Worth It? breakdown on Garage Equip Pro Guides.
