The Lab Verdict
Executive Summary

/100
The Verdict:
The Halo HL2-12K is a 12,000-lb baseplate two-post — and the story is capacity in a low package. At just 111.9 inches overall it fits low-ceiling garages that can’t take a 156-inch clearfloor lift, yet still handles ¾-ton trucks. A shallow plate crosses the bay instead of an overhead beam. It rises 74 inches on a 220V circuit. For a clear floor with the same capacity, the taller HL2C-12K.
- Low-ceiling garages that still need 12,000 lb
- ¾-ton truck owners with limited headroom
- Anyone choosing capacity over a clear floor
- Buyers who want a completely clear floor (a plate crosses the bay)
- Cars only (10k baseplate costs less)
