-CL12A-1: The Next-Level 12K Adjustable 2 Post Lift – Now 1" Taller
Our CL12A-1 is the latest evolution of our best-selling 12K adjustable 2 post lift, designed to bring more capability, flexibility, and efficiency to your shop. Building on the trusted performance of the CL12A, this upgraded version stands 1" taller, giving you extra clearance for working with taller vehicles and improving overall accessibility for technicians. With adjustable height and width settings, it adapts easily to a variety of shop layouts, making it perfect for servicing everything from compact cars to heavy-duty trucks, vans, SUVs, and the newest electric vehicles—all in a single bay.
Precision-engineered 3-stage front and rear arms, premium telescoping footpads, and a standard Stack Adapter Kit (P/N 10315) make switching between vehicle types fast and seamless, ensuring your workflow stays smooth and efficient. For shops with height restrictions, the CL12A-LC variant offers the same premium features in a shorter configuration, proving that space limitations don’t have to limit capability. Every CL12A-1 lift carries ALI® Certification, ensuring compliance with the most rigorous safety and performance standards, so you can invest with confidence knowing you’re getting a lift built for reliability, safety, and long-term value.
