Robust Construction for Ultimate Stability and Longevity

The KT-H105’s professional-grade engineering ensures exceptional durability and performance:

Built with heavy-duty steel throughout, this lift handles years of demanding service without the flexing or structural concerns common in lighter-duty models. The base plate design creates a solid foundation that distributes forces evenly across the lift structure while maintaining precise alignment during operation. This thoughtful design element significantly increases stability compared to floor plate lifts while simplifying installation. The dual hydraulic chain-drive cylinders deliver synchronized lifting power while remaining protected within the columns, away from potential impact or contamination. This protected component placement significantly extends service life compared to exposed designs, ensuring reliable operation through years of demanding use.

The impressive 10,000-pound capacity handles everything from compact cars to full-size trucks and SUVs with substantial safety margins. This robust rating accommodates most vehicles on the road today, from small sedans to larger pickups and SUVs. The CE certification with 115% dynamic load testing and 150% static load testing verifies that this lift exceeds international safety standards – offering peace of mind that can’t be found in uncertified budget alternatives. This certification confirms the lift can safely handle loads well beyond its rated capacity during both stationary and moving operations.

The asymmetric arm configuration provides versatile vehicle positioning options while ensuring balanced weight distribution across the lift structure. The front arms feature a reach range from 29.5″ to 46″, while the rear arms extend from 35.4″ to an impressive 58.2″, accommodating vehicles from compact cars to full-size trucks with proper weight distribution. This two-stage arm design allows for precise positioning at manufacturer-recommended lifting points regardless of vehicle size or design. The extended reach of the rear arms is particularly valuable when lifting trucks or SUVs that have their weight concentrated toward the rear of the vehicle.

Comprehensive Safety Features for Total Confidence

The KT-H105 incorporates multiple layers of safety engineering that reflect its professional heritage:

The dual-side manual safety release system provides convenient access to the mechanical locks from either side of the lift. This thoughtful design ensures the operator can always access the release mechanism from a safe position regardless of vehicle placement or shop layout. The automatically engaging mechanical safety locks provide secure support at multiple heights independent of the hydraulic system. These hardened steel locks ensure the vehicle remains securely supported even during extended work sessions or in the unlikely event of hydraulic pressure loss.

The rubber door protection pads safeguard vehicle doors from potential contact with the lift columns, preserving the appearance of valuable vehicles during service. This small but important detail demonstrates the attention to real-world concerns that distinguishes quality equipment. The included screw-on pad and extension support adaptor sets (+100 mm) allow precise positioning on manufacturer-recommended lifting points regardless of vehicle design. These versatile adaptors accommodate various frame styles and underbody configurations, ensuring proper weight distribution and secure contact even with challenging modern vehicles with specialized lifting points.

The high-quality hydraulic system provides smooth, controlled lifting and lowering without the jerky movement common in budget lifts – a critical consideration when positioning valuable vehicles. The precision-engineered valves ensure consistent operation and reliable performance through countless lifting cycles. The carefully engineered chain-drive system distributes lifting forces evenly across both columns, eliminating the twist or uneven lifting that can occur with inferior designs. This balanced lifting action protects both the lift structure and vehicles from stress during operation.

Space-Efficient Design with Generous Working Clearance

The KT-H105’s thoughtful dimensions maximize usability while minimizing space requirements:

With a modest overall height of just 110.9 inches, this lift fits comfortably in garages with standard ceiling heights (typically 12 feet or higher). This lower profile compared to many commercial lifts makes it an ideal solution for residential garages or smaller professional shops where ceiling height might be limited. Despite its compact vertical dimensions, the lift still provides an impressive 70.8-inch maximum lifting height – more than enough clearance for comfortable standing access beneath even larger vehicles.

The generous 98.4-inch drive-through clearance between columns accommodates most passenger vehicles comfortably with adequate space for opening doors and working around the vehicle. This measurement is critical when evaluating whether specific vehicles in your fleet will fit properly between the columns. The overall width of 140.4 inches means this lift will fit comfortably in standard two-car garage bays while providing the stable footprint necessary for safe lifting operations.

The remarkably low 3.9-inch minimum pad height creates an exceptionally low profile that accommodates even lowered vehicles without requiring special approach considerations. This low-profile design makes positioning vehicles simple and stress-free, even for vehicles with minimal ground clearance. The two-stage arms offer exceptional adjustability to accommodate a wide range of vehicle sizes and styles, from compact sports cars to full-size trucks, making this a versatile solution for multi-vehicle households or shops.

Understanding Lift Capacity for Safer Operation

The KT-H105’s 10,000-pound capacity rating requires proper understanding for safe application:

When evaluating whether this lift suits your needs, consider both total vehicle weight and weight distribution. A vehicle’s weight isn’t evenly distributed, with most passenger vehicles having approximately 60% of their weight on the front axle and 40% on the rear. This means each front arm might need to support 30% of the total vehicle weight independently. For a 7,500-pound truck, each front arm would need to safely support approximately 2,250 pounds. The KT-H105’s robust design ensures each arm safely handles these concentrated loads with substantial safety margin.

Many lift experts recommend utilizing no more than 75% of a lift’s rated capacity for routine operations. This safety margin accounts for dynamic loading during vehicle positioning, weight distribution variations, and potential weight additions from vehicle contents or modifications. Following this guideline, the KT-H105 would be ideally suited for vehicles weighing up to approximately 7,500 pounds for regular use. This capacity covers the vast majority of passenger vehicles, light trucks, and SUVs currently on the road, while still maintaining appropriate safety margins.

Proper vehicle positioning is critical for safe lifting operations. The vehicle should be centered between the columns with the arms positioned at manufacturer-recommended lifting points. This careful positioning ensures weight is evenly distributed across all four arms and the vehicle remains stable throughout the lifting process. Taking time to properly position each vehicle before lifting becomes an essential safety habit that protects both the equipment and the operator.

Installation Requirements for Optimal Performance

The KT-H105’s substantial capacity requires proper installation conditions:

The concrete foundation must be at least 5.9 inches (150mm) thick with a minimum 3000 PSI rating to safely support the lift and vehicles. This critical requirement ensures the concrete can withstand the substantial point loads created at the lift’s anchor points when supporting heavy vehicles. Installing on inadequate concrete could result in serious injury or death, making it essential to verify concrete specifications before purchase. Many commercial spaces already meet these requirements, but residential garages might require concrete upgrades before installation.

Adequate ceiling height is essential for this lift’s installation, requiring approximately 10 feet minimum for standard installations. This height requirement accommodates the 110.9-inch column height plus additional clearance for the overhead mechanism. Careful measurements of both ceiling height and garage dimensions are important pre-purchase considerations to ensure the lift will fit properly in your specific space. The substantial footprint requires thoughtful planning regarding placement relative to walls, doors, and other garage features.

Professional installation by experienced lift technicians is strongly recommended to ensure proper assembly, leveling, and anchoring. The precise alignment of columns, equalizing cables, and hydraulic components is critical for safe operation and long-term reliability. Experienced installers understand the importance of proper torque specifications on critical fasteners and the correct tensioning of synchronization components. The investment in professional installation typically represents a small fraction of the lift’s total cost while providing confidence in its safe, accurate operation.
