Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What kinds of Vehicles can I raise on my XPR-9 Series Lift?
Answer: Cars, trucks, SUVs, or similar; up to 9,000 lbs. (4,082 kg) each.
Q: How long will it take to raise or lower my Vehicle?
A: Anywhere from 30 to 45 seconds, depending on how high you raise it.
Q: Does the Lift have to be anchored in place?
A: Yes. Two-Post Lifts must be anchored. Your Lift comes with high-quality Anchor Bolts; use only
the Anchor Bolts that came with your Lift.
Q: How thick does my Concrete have to be?
A: 4.25 inches thick, 3,000 PSI, cured for a minimum of 28 days. Do not install the Lift on cracked or
defective Concrete. Do not install on asphalt or any surface other than Concrete.
Q: Can I install my Lift outside?
A: No. All XPR-9 Series Lifts are approved for indoor installation and use only. Outdoor
installation is prohibited.
Q: How many Safety Lock positions does my Lift have?
A: The XPR-9TF has 13 Safety Lock Positions; the XPR-9SBT has 10 Safety Lock positions.
Q: Does the Lift have a Front and Rear?
A: Yes and no. Because you can drive onto a Two-Post Lift from either opening, there is technically
no Front or Rear. However, most garages have an Approach side and a Wall side, so in that case,
the Wall side is the Front, and the Approach side is the Rear.
Q: How long can I leave a Vehicle raised up on my Lift?
A: For a long time, as long as you leave the Lift engaged on its Safety Locks. Once the Lift is
engaged on its Safety Locks, gravity holds it in position. Only leave your Lift either on the
ground (fully lowered) or engaged on its Safety Locks.
Q: How do I know where to put the Adapters when I want to raise a Vehicle?
A: The Vehicle needs to be balanced on the Lift, so you must position the Adapters (sometimes
called Pads) so that they contact the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points. If you do not
know where the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points are on a Vehicle,
you must find out before you raise it. ALI provides guides that will assist you: Vehicle
Lifting Points for Frame Engaging Lifts shows the Lifting Points for hundreds of Vehicles. Lifting It
Right includes information about how to raise Vehicles correctly.
