Shipping Info
At Mechanic Superstore, our commitment is to provide you with the best customer service possible. For this reason, we offer you all kinds of delivery options so that you can choose the one that suits you best.
I Have The Equipment To Unload My Order
- Do you have a forklift, a high-capacity hoist, or a tractor in your facility? In that case, this option may be the one for you.Aspects to keep in mind when choosing this option.
- The most popular 2-post lifts (with 9,000 lb and 10,000 lb capacity) have a shipping weight of approximately 1,400 lbs and 1,900 lbs, respectively. On the other hand, a 15,000 lb capacity 2-post lift has a 2,700 lb shipping weight.
- Given the packaged lift and hydraulic power unit’s weight, they cannot be unloaded from the trailer by hand. Simply put, IT IS MANDATORY TO USE A SUITABLE FORKLIFT OR HOIST FOR UNLOADING THE LIFT.
- You are solely responsible for unloading your equipment from the truck. The truck driver cannot do this for you.
- Mechanic Superstore uses trustworthy freight companies to make the deliveries. It is your responsibility to be present on the scheduled date and time of the delivery.
- There will be a receiver charge of $135 if the truck driver arrives at the designated location and the customer does not have the necessary means ready to unload the lift.
- In case you do not have the necessary equipment to unload the equipment do not worry. Mechanics Superstore offers other delivery options.
Do you have a hitch trailer to transport your lift? If so, then this might be the best option.
Aspects to keep in mind when choosing this option.
1. Mechanics Superstore and our brands’ warehouses have the means to load your car lift into an appropriate trailer.
2. Given the weight and dimensions of car lifts, we cannot load lifts directly into vehicles or trucks. To safely transport your lift, you will need a hitch trailer. Will this option not work for you? Perhaps the warehouse is too far from your location? If so, keep reading.
Think of this option as a variation of the previous one. Even so, this could be an excellent alternative to picking up the lift at one of our warehouses. Instead, we can take the car lift to a warehouse closer to your location.
You will still need a hitch trailer to transport the lift for this option, but you can save on freight costs if you have an LTL Carrier close to your shop.
Neither of the above delivery options suits you? Then we have the solution.
We will dispatch your lifts directly to a local installer in your area. This way, you will not have to worry about anything since the installer would be in charge of the logistics.
Aspects to keep in mind when choosing this option.
1. You still have to pay the freight fee to the installer (or dock hold for the installer to pick up the lift)
2. We will quote th e installation fee before you pay for the lift so that you can get an idea of the total amount to pay (car lift + freight + installation).
Do you have another delivery option in mind? In that case, do not hesitate to contact us. At Mechanic Superstore, we are open to all kinds of solutions, as long as they comply with the relevant local regulations and safety standards.

Katool PMRL-200 8,000 lbs Portable 2 Post Lift
The Katool PMRL-200 portable 2 post lift is a powerful and adaptable lifting solution designed for professional garages, workshops, and advanced automotive enthusiasts who need both performance and flexibility. With an impressive 8,000 lb lifting capacity, this unit merges the stability of a traditional 2 post lift with the convenience of a portable design, allowing it to serve as a semi-permanent installation or a mobile lift when the situation demands. Built with rugged, heavy-duty steel and precision-engineered hydraulics, it offers durability, accuracy, and ease of operation for technicians working on a wide variety of vehicles.
The PMRL-200’s detachable modular construction sets it apart from conventional fixed-column lifts. Once the anchor bolts are removed, each column can be repositioned with its built-in wheeled base, providing exceptional mobility that lets you adapt to changing shop layouts or repurpose your floor space for other projects. This makes it a smart investment for repair shops with limited space or those needing flexibility to handle varying workloads. The compact footprint of each column, measuring just 18.11 inches in width and 36 inches in depth, allows efficient placement even in narrow bays while maintaining full vehicle access.
Power and balance are at the core of the PMRL-200’s design. The hydraulic system is engineered to deliver smooth, controlled lifting and lowering, preventing abrupt starts or stops that can stress vehicle frames or suspension systems. Its swing arms extend from 29.3 to 45 inches, accommodating a wide range of vehicle widths and wheelbases, while the pads adjust easily for optimal contact points. The minimum pad height is just 5.25 inches, making it easy to lift vehicles with low ground clearance. When fully extended with adapters, the lift reaches a maximum height of 51.3 inches, providing ample working space for wheel, brake, and undercarriage service.
Every component of the PMRL-200 reflects Katool’s commitment to quality and safety. The lift is rated for an 8,000 lb total capacity, tested for unbalanced loads, and equipped to handle up to 3,500 lb on each axle and 1,750 lb per arm. The columns rise 71.8 inches, maintaining rigidity and precise alignment over repeated lifting cycles. With a total shipping weight of approximately 1,350 lb, this lift requires proper unloading equipment such as a forklift or hoist upon delivery. Attempting to unload manually is not feasible due to the size and mass of the components.
This model operates on standard 110-volt power and requires a 30-amp breaker. Its portable nature does not compromise its performance, but operators should use caution when handling heavy or unbalanced loads. While it is engineered for safety, proper load placement and routine inspection of anchors, hoses, and mechanical components are essential for long-term reliability.
