Description
The Stratus SAE-F12X is a 12,000-lb extra-wide two-post floor plate lift built for shops that service full-size trucks, vans, and SUVs alongside everyday cars. Its open-top columns and floor-mounted base plate leave the entire underside of the vehicle clear, while extra-wide column spacing — 116 3/16″ of drive-thru clearance and 129 15/16″ between the columns — gives wide-body pickups and dual-rear-wheel trucks room to load square.
Two direct-drive hydraulic cylinders, synchronized by dual multi-strand equalizer cables, raise the vehicle to a 74 13/16″ lifting height (78 13/16″ with the screw-up adapters) in about 60 seconds. A single-point manual release lets one technician disengage both column safety locks from one lever, and triple-telescoping symmetric arms reach from 35 1/16″ to 74 13/16″ to spot the pads on a short hatchback or a long-wheelbase pickup.
Every F12X is proof-tested to 115% of rated capacity dynamically and 150% statically, runs on automatic spring-loaded arm restraints and a top limiter switch, and is backed by a 5-year structural warranty.
Features
- Floor plate (base plate) design with open top — the cross member sits on the floor instead of overhead, so there is full, unobstructed access to the vehicle’s underside.
- Single-point manual release — one lever on the main column releases the safety locks in both columns at the same time.
- Dual direct-drive hydraulic cylinders synchronized by two multi-strand, non-rotary, non-stretch equalizer cables (9 mm) for level, balanced lifting.
- Triple-telescoping symmetric swing arms with reach from 35 1/16″ to 74 13/16″ and screw-up rubber contact pads.
- Automatic spring-loaded arm restraints that lock the arms against rotation once the vehicle is loaded.
- Multi-position mechanical safety locks that engage automatically as the lift rises.
- Top limiter switch stops the motor automatically at full rise.
- Nylon slide blocks for smooth, low-maintenance carriage travel.
- Heavy-gauge steel: 6 mm columns and carriages, 8 mm arms.
- Proof-tested by dynamic test at 115% and static test at 150% of rated capacity.
- Durable powder-coat finish in Granite Gray (RAL 7026) with Rein Orange (RAL 2004) arms.
- CE marked.

FAQ
What concrete does the F12X need?
The installation manual specifies a level slab of at least 200 mm (about 8 inches) of 3,500 PSI concrete, fully cured and free of cracks or holes, before the lift is installed.
What are the anchor and torque specs?
The lift includes fourteen M20 × 160 mm concrete anchors (about 3/4″ by 6″), torqued to a minimum of 90 ft-lb.
What electrical service does it require?
The motor is 220V single-phase on a 30 A breaker and must be wired by a licensed electrician (two hot leads plus ground). It ships without a power plug.
Can I adjust the lifting speed?
Yes. Lift speed is set at the power unit’s hydraulic oil-flow valve; follow the adjustment direction given in the manual.
Will a wide truck fit between the columns?
The F12X is the extra-wide F-series model: 116 3/16″ of drive-thru clearance and 129 15/16″ inside the columns give wide-body and dual-rear-wheel trucks room to load.
Is the F12X ALI certified?
The F12X is CE marked. Stratus does not publish ANSI/ALI ALCTV (ALI) certification for this model; if ALI certification is required in your jurisdiction, confirm the current status with the manufacturer before purchase.
