Description

Heavy-Duty Lifting Power with the Weaver® W-9KFP Baseplate 2 Post Auto Lift

The Weaver® W-9KFP Baseplate 2 Post Auto Lift is built for serious garages that need dependable, commercial-grade lifting without requiring excessive ceiling height.

With a 9,000 lb lifting capacity, this lift gives you the confidence to handle a wide range of vehicles — from daily drivers to light trucks — while maintaining full control and safety at every stage.

Its baseplate design makes it ideal for workshops with lower ceilings (under 10 feet), so you don’t have to compromise on capability due to space limitations.

This is a lift designed for efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability.

Why Choose the Weaver® W-9KFP Baseplate 2 Post Auto Lift?

When you’re working under a vehicle, stability and safety aren’t optional — they’re essential.

The Weaver® W-9KFP Baseplate 2 Post Auto Lift combines dual hydraulic cylinders, redundant safety systems, and commercial-grade components to deliver a lift you can rely on day after day.

Unlike many alternatives, this model includes a secondary slack chain safety system, giving you an extra layer of protection that many competing lifts simply don’t offer.

Built for Strength & Stability – Weaver® W-9KFP Baseplate 2 Post Auto Lift Features

Dual Hydraulic Power System for Smooth Lifting

The dual hydraulic chain-over cylinders provide consistent, even lifting power.

This ensures smooth operation and balanced lifting, reducing strain on components and improving long-term durability.

Symmetric Arms for Maximum Versatility

The symmetric arm design increases the usable arm sweep, making it easier to position vehicles correctly.

This gives you more flexibility when lifting different vehicle types, saving time and reducing setup frustration.

Advanced Safety Systems You Can Trust

Safety is where this lift stands out:

• Dual-point safety release for controlled lowering

• Primary safety system for secure locking

• Secondary slack chain safety system — an added fail-safe rarely included in other lifts

This layered approach means you’re protected even if one system fails.

Commercial-Grade Arm Restraints & Components

The lift is equipped with:

• Automatic swing arm restraints

• Commercial-grade arm restraint system

• Self-lubricating UHMW polyethylene sliders

• Bronze bushings for reduced wear

These features reduce maintenance while keeping performance consistent over time.

Low Profile Baseplate Design for Limited Ceiling Spaces

The floor plate configuration with a low-profile drive-over cover (1 7/8″) allows installation in garages with ceilings under 10 feet.

You still get full lifting capability without needing a high-clearance workshop.

Everything you need is included:

• Stackable adapters (1.5″ and 4″)

• 4 screw-up lift arm pads

• Standard door guards

• Heavy-duty anchor bolts (3/4″ x 5 1/2″)
