The Lab Verdict
Executive Summary

/100
The Verdict:
The Tuxedo TP9KF-TUX is the floorplate version of Tuxedo’s 9,000-lb symmetric two-post — and its advantage is height: at just 112 inches overall it fits low-ceiling garages that can’t take a clearfloor lift. A shallow plate crosses the bay instead of an overhead beam. It still rises a full 72 inches on a 220V circuit. If your ceiling is tall enough, the clearfloor TP9KSCX keeps the floor clear; the value-line Valor VP9KFX is the budget floorplate option.
- Low-ceiling garages that can’t take an overhead lift
- Home shops that still want a full two-post
- Budget-focused DIYers
- Anyone who wants a completely clear floor (a shallow plate crosses the bay)
- Garages without a 220V circuit
Engineering Analysis
The “Deep Dive”
Hydraulics & Rise Time
A 220V single-phase power unit drives both carriages through the 72-inch rise; the floorplate routes the equalization across the floor, keeping overall height to just 112 inches.
Safety Lock System
Automatic mechanical safety locks hold the vehicle on steel stops through the rise, released from a single point.
Structural Integrity
Floorplate symmetric two-post, 9,000 lb, 72-inch rise, and just 112 inches overall — built for low-ceiling garages.
