Available in two configurations, the HW-8S provides a 93-inch drive-through width with a 178-inch overall length, while the extended HW-8SXLT offers a generous 99-inch drive-through width and 193-inch overall length for larger vehicles and additional working space.
Both models feature a heavy-duty steel construction with 6-gauge runway steel and reinforced 6-inch by 4-inch columns, providing exceptional structural strength and stability. The lifts are equipped with a highly efficient 110V single-phase 1.5 HP hydraulic power unit, delivering smooth and dependable lifting performance with an approximate lifting time of just 40 seconds. Their powder-coated finish provides superior corrosion resistance, while heavy-duty 3/8-inch synchronization cables help reduce stress during operation and extend cable service life.

Reviews
Every 4-post I looked at came with steel ramps that are heavy and rust over time. The APlusLift aluminum ramps are lighter to handle and won't rust in my humid garage. Small detail that matters over years of ownership.
Bought primarily for vertical parking - my daily driver goes underneath, weekend Corvette sits on top. The three drip trays keep the top vehicle's drips off the bottom vehicle. Perfect setup.
Comparing 4-post lifts and most come with 1-year warranties. The APlusLift 3-year warranty is the longest I found and shows confidence in their build quality. Peace of mind for a purchase this size.
The 115% dynamic and 150% static load testing isn't just marketing - it's actual engineering margin. Feels rock solid under my heavier vehicles. APlusLift did the engineering work right.
Hard to find a complete 4-post package with aluminum ramps and 3-year warranty at this price. APlusLift delivers real value. Some fit could be tighter but nothing that affects operation.
