Katool KT-M150D 15,000 lbs Two Post Car Lift
The Katool KT-M150D is a two-post vehicle lift rated for 15,000 lb total capacity, built from Q235 and Q245 structural steel for heavy-duty automotive shops, fleet service facilities, and commercial garages. The structural grade selection supports daily lifting of full-size trucks, commercial vans, and larger commercial vehicles.
The lifting mechanism uses direct-drive hydraulic cylinders rather than chain-and-pulley synchronization, reducing wear-prone components and producing quieter cycle operation. Symmetric arm geometry provides balanced load distribution, with a single-point lock release that disengages all safety locks from a centralized control point.
Power is supplied by a 4 HP / 3 kW motor running on 220V / 60 Hz / 1-phase service. Maximum lifting height is 72.83 inches, providing full under-vehicle clearance for transmission, exhaust, suspension, and chassis service. Compatible with trucks, vans, and commercial vehicles within rated per-arm load distribution.
Features
Direct-Drive System
No chains, no pulleys, nothing to stretch or wear
Direct-drive hydraulic cylinders eliminate the chain-and-pulley assemblies that wear, stretch, and need periodic adjustment on conventional lifts. Fewer moving parts means smoother lift cycles and noticeably quieter operation, with less routine maintenance over the life of the lift. A 4 HP / 3 kW motor on 220V, 60 Hz single-phase service supplies commercial-grade hydraulic power — without a three-phase requirement.
Symmetric Arm Configuration
Balanced load across both columns, 15,000 lb rated
Symmetric two-post arm geometry distributes weight evenly across both columns, keeping heavy loads stable through the full lift cycle. Rated for 15,000 lb total capacity and built from Q235 and Q245 structural steel, it handles trucks, vans, and commercial vehicles at the volume a fleet facility puts through in a day. Maximum lifting height of 72.83" opens up full standing access for exhaust, driveline, and suspension work.
Single-Point Lock Release
All locks, one control, from where you're standing
Every safety lock disengages simultaneously from a single control point — no walking column to column mid-job to release each side. It's faster on every cycle and keeps the operator in one position through the lowering sequence.

| Concrete Requirement |
Minimum 5.9" thickness at 3,000 PSI |
Installation requirement: this lift requires a minimum 5.9" concrete slab rated at 3,000 PSI — thicker than a typical 4" residential garage floor. Confirm your slab depth before ordering, as inadequate concrete is the most common cause of failed two-post installations.
Before you buy: the lift stands 176.8" tall (14 ft 8.8 in) — measure your ceiling height carefully, as this exceeds many standard shop bays. It also needs 220V single-phase service. Our team can help you confirm your ceiling, slab, and electrical setup.
