The Lab Verdict
Executive Summary

The Verdict:
The Atlas PVL-9BP is a 9,000-lb ALI-certified baseplate two-post from Atlas’s Platinum line — low-ceiling friendly. It’s a baseplate two-post — the columns tie together at the floor, so it stands lower and suits low-ceiling garages, with symmetric arms. It carries ALI certification — third-party testing to the ANSI safety standard, the credential that most separates shop-grade from bargain. Runs on a 220V single-phase circuit. Compare it with the PVL-10.

- Anyone who needs full undercarriage access
- Users willing to drill anchor holes into concrete
- Anyone who cannot drill into their concrete floor
- Users with concrete less than 4″ thick or with major cracks

Engineering Analysis
The “Deep Dive”
Hydraulics & Rise Time
A 220-volt single-phase power unit drives both carriages in sync via equalized cables; the baseplate routes the equalization across the floor, keeping the lift low.
Safety Lock System
Multi-position mechanical safety locks hold the vehicle on steel stops through the full rise.
Structural Integrity
Baseplate two-post rated 9,000-lb, with symmetric arms. The floor-level cross-member keeps overall height down for low-ceiling garages.
