When you’re diagnosing newer vehicles, the biggest time killer is not the scan itself, it’s chasing the wrong direction because your tool cannot clearly show what’s connected, what’s offline, and what’s actually causing the fault. Add in security gateways and faster network protocols, and basic tablets start to feel like guesswork. Phoenix Max is built for techs who want a clearer diagnostic picture, faster confirmation, and fewer jobs that get pushed out to a dealer or specialist.
Phoenix Max centers everything around a large 13.3 inch screen so you can work faster without constantly flipping screens, zooming, or missing key network relationships. It supports full-system diagnostics, active tests, live data, AutoVIN, and topology mapping, which helps you see vehicle systems and their status in one view. This workflow is ideal for stacked faults, module communication issues, and late-model vehicles where the problem is rarely isolated to one system.
At the core is the Phoenix MDCI Pro, which brings broad protocol coverage and makes the platform more capable for modern vehicles and advanced workflows. With support for J2534, DoIP, CAN FD, D-PDU, and RP1210, Phoenix Max is designed for deeper diagnostics and professional-level communication. If you want one tablet that can scale with your workload and reduce outsourcing, this platform is built for that.

Built for the serious home garage enthusiast and light commercial shop, the Atlas Garage Pro delivers professional-grade lifting performance at an accessible price point. This 9,000 lb capacity symmetric two-post lift is engineered with precision-machined components and industrial-grade hydraulics that ensure decades of reliable service.
The symmetric arm configuration provides optimal weight distribution for most passenger vehicles, light trucks, and SUVs. Three-stage telescoping front arms and two-stage rear arms give you maximum reach flexibility, while the included rubber pad adapters protect vehicle frame rails and pinch welds from damage during lifting operations.
Safety is paramount in professional lifting equipment. The Atlas Garage Pro features a single-point safety lock release system that allows for controlled, gradual lowering — eliminating the risk of sudden drops. The overhead safety shut-off bar provides automatic power cutoff if the lift reaches maximum height, preventing over-extension damage to the hydraulic system.
Installation requires a minimum 11-foot ceiling height and adequate floor reinforcement (4-inch minimum concrete thickness recommended). The lift operates on standard 220V single-phase power, making it compatible with most residential and commercial electrical systems without requiring costly three-phase upgrades.
Each Atlas Garage Pro ships with all necessary installation hardware, detailed assembly instructions, and access to our technical support team. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper anchoring and safety compliance.
