Description
The Tuxedo TP11KC-DX is an 11,000 lb capacity two-post, clear-floor lift built around one idea: a single lift that sets up for both asymmetric and symmetric lifting. Its Bi-Symmetric arm design pairs 3-stage front arms with 180° rotation, so compact cars, long-wheelbase trucks, and everything between position correctly on the same columns — with a rated 2,750 lb per arm load limit.
Lifting is by direct-drive pull cylinders — no chains or roller bearings in the drive path to wear and stretch over time. Lowering is handled from one station: the single-point safety-latch release drops both columns’ locks together, so there is no walking around the vehicle with a bar. A padded overhead shut-off bar stops travel before a roof meets the crossbeam, and heavy-duty arm restraints hold position under load.
The clear-floor design leaves 104″ of drive-thru clearance and nothing on the slab between the columns — transmission jacks and oil drains roll straight through. Spin-up low-profile pads (4″ minimum height) get under rocker panels, and the included stackable truck adapters add 2″ and 4″ of reach for frame-contact points on trucks and SUVs, taking maximum lift height to 76-1/2″ with the tallest adapter fitted.
Site requirements, straight up: 220V single-phase service on a 20-amp circuit, indoor installation, and concrete at least 4-1/4″ thick rated 3,000 PSI — the columns are supported only by their floor anchors, so the slab matters. Overall height is 144″, so a bay just over 12 feet clears the crossbeam. Two installer notes worth knowing before delivery day: the manual’s install checklist calls for 12 quarts of SAE-10/AW-32 hydraulic oil (buyer-supplied), and the low-voltage cable between the overhead limit switch and power unit is supplied by your electrician, not in the crate.

Warranty
Tuxedo backs the TP11KC-DX with a 5-year structural warranty and a 1-year electrical, hydraulic, and parts warranty. Tuxedo pays shipping on warranty parts for the first 30 days; wear items are excluded. Cylinders found defective in the first 30 days are replaced outright (seal kits are supplied after that window). Inspect the shipment before signing the delivery ticket — any damage or shortage must be noted on the ticket and reported within 72 hours of delivery.
FAQ
What power does it need?
220V single-phase on a dedicated 20-amp circuit. Plan for an electrician to run the low-voltage cable between the overhead limit switch and the power unit — it is not included in the crate.
How tall does my ceiling need to be?
Overall height is 144″ — a ceiling just over 12 feet clears the crossbeam. The padded overhead shut-off bar protects tall vehicles from being raised into the beam.
What concrete do I need?
Minimum 4-1/4″ thick concrete rated 3,000 PSI. The columns are supported entirely by their floor anchors, so this is a hard requirement — the manual prohibits installation on asphalt or unstable surfaces.
What does “bi-symmetric” actually mean?
The arms configure both ways: asymmetric (vehicle set back for door clearance) or symmetric (centered, for heavier trucks). The 3-stage front arms rotate 180°, so one lift covers both setups instead of choosing at purchase time.
Is anything else needed at installation?
The install checklist calls for 12 quarts of SAE-10 / AW-32 non-detergent hydraulic oil (buyer-supplied), a concrete hammer drill for the anchors, and a second set of hands or a hoist for the overhead beam.
