Equipment Delivery Options
At Wholesale Lifts, our commitment is to provide you with the best customer service. We offer you various delivery options so that you can choose the one that best fits your needs.
I have the equipment to unload my order
Do you have a forklift, a high-capacity hoist, or a tractor in your facility? In that case, this option may be the one for you.
What to keep in mind when choosing this option:
- The most popular 2-post lifts (with 9,000 lb and 10,000 lb capacity) have a shipping weight of approximately 1,400 lbs and 1,900 lbs, respectively. On the other hand, a 15,000 lb capacity 2-post lift has a 2,700 lb shipping weight.
- Given the packaged lift and hydraulic power unit’s weight, they cannot be unloaded from the trailer by hand. Simply put, IT IS MANDATORY TO USE A SUITABLE FORKLIFT OR HOIST FOR UNLOADING THE LIFT.
- You are solely responsible for unloading your equipment from the truck. The truck driver cannot do this for you.
- Wholesale Lifts uses trustworthy freight companies to make the deliveries. It is your responsibility to be present on the scheduled date and time of the delivery.
- There will be a receiver charge, which varies by carrier (typically $100+), if the truck driver arrives at the designated location and the customer does not have the necessary means ready to unload the lift.
In case you do not have the necessary equipment to unload the equipment do not worry. Wholesale Lifts offers other delivery options.
Pick up at one of our warehouses
Do you have a hitch trailer to transport your lift? If so, then this might be the best option.
What to keep in mind when choosing this option:
- Wholesale Lifts and our brands’ warehouses have the means to load your car lift into an appropriate trailer.
- Given the weight and dimensions of car lifts, we cannot load lifts directly into vehicles or trucks. To safely transport your lift, you will need a hitch trailer.
Will this option not work for you? Perhaps the warehouse is too far from your location? If so, keep reading.
Dock Hold from LTL Carrier
Think of this option as a variation of the previous one. Even so, this could be an excellent alternative to picking up the lift at one of our warehouses. Instead, we can take the car lift to a warehouse closer to your location.
You will still need a hitch trailer to transport the lift for this option, but you can save on freight costs if you have an LTL Carrier close to your shop.
Ship directly to a local installer
Neither of the above delivery options suits you? Then we have the solution.
We will dispatch your lifts directly to a local installer in your area. This way, you will not have to worry about anything since the installer would be in charge of the logistics.
What to keep in mind when choosing this option:
- You still have to pay the freight fee to the installer (or dock hold for the installer to pick up the lift)
- We will quote the installation fee before you pay for the lift so that you can get an idea of the total amount to pay (car lift + freight + installation)
Do you have another delivery option in mind? In that case, do not hesitate to contact us. At Wholesale Lifts, we are open to all kinds of solutions, as long as they comply with the relevant local regulations and safety standards.

Low-ceiling shops and serious garages get dependable lifting performance from the APEX AL9LC, a 9,000-lbs. capacity floorplate two-post car lift. Symmetric and asymmetric arm configurations, long-reach telescoping arms, and a rugged chain-over lifting system give the AL9LC flexible vehicle positioning for cars, trucks, and SUVs, with BendPak-backed support.
Low-Ceiling Muscle with APEX Attitude
The APEX AL9LC Floorplate Two-Post Lift gives shops and serious home garages a professional lifting solution when overhead clearance is limited. With a 9,000-lb. lifting capacity and an open-top floorplate design, the AL9LC eliminates the restrictive overhead crossbar found on many two-post lifts while still delivering the strength needed for passenger cars, performance vehicles, and light trucks. This floorplate two-post lift is especially useful for garages with lower ceilings, taller vehicles, or layouts where an overhead beam would get in the way. The AL9LC keeps the workspace open above the vehicle while providing dependable frame-engaging lifting capability, making it a smart fit for small shops, performance garages, and home mechanics who want real two-post lift performance without giving up usable vertical space.
Flexible Arm Reach for Faster Vehicle Positioning
Proper vehicle setup matters on any two-post car lift, and the AL9LC is built to make positioning faster and more predictable. Symmetric and asymmetric arm configurations allow technicians to adapt the lift arm layout to the vehicle, helping create balanced contact with approved lifting points across a wide range of cars and light trucks. Triple-telescoping front arms and dual-stage extended rear arms provide extra reach for different wheelbases and frame designs. Double-telescoping screw pads with tear-resistant polyurethane non-slip pads, plus the included 4-piece 63 mm stackable adapter set, help create secure contact for vehicles that need additional lift-point height or frame clearance.
Chain-Over Lifting System with Heavy-Duty Construction
The AL9LC uses a proven chain-over lifting system built around an industrial-grade, high-strength leaf chain manufactured to ANSI standards. This design is engineered for repeated lifting cycles, dependable load movement, and low-maintenance operation in busy shop and garage environments. Heavy-duty 6-inch by 6-inch tubular steel carriages provide serious load-bearing strength, while oversized 20.5-inch by 15.5-inch base plates help distribute vehicle weight for improved stability. Oversized heavy-duty rollers with Zerk grease fittings and self-lubricating UHMW polyethylene guide blocks reduce friction and help keep the lift operating smoothly over time.
Automatic Safety Locks and BendPak-Backed Support
The AL9LC is designed with safety features throughout. Automatic safety locks engage every 3 inches throughout the lifting range, helping hold the load securely at working height. Automatic arm restraints help prevent unwanted arm movement once the vehicle is raised, giving technicians more confidence during service. The AL9LC was previously sold under the GrandPrix name and now fits into the APEX lineup as part of BendPak's broader value-focused product family. The lift retains the same floorplate architecture, chain-over lifting system, structural components, and safety features, while being backed by BendPak support and a 36-month limited warranty.
