Stratus SAE-C14X 14,000 Lbs Overhead Clear Floor Two Post Lift

Description

The Stratus SAE-C14X is a 14,000-lb capacity two-post automotive lift built for shops that service heavy-duty pickups, vans, and 3/4- and 1-ton work trucks alongside everyday passenger vehicles. Its overhead clear-floor design leaves the bay floor completely open — no base channel to trip over or sweep out — and the overhead beam houses the dual top limit switches.

A direct-drive hydraulic system paired with a single-point manual release keeps operation straightforward: one lever sequences the carriages down, and the safety locks hold the load at height until you are ready to lower it. The lift is backed by a 5-year structural warranty, so the foundation of the purchase is covered for the long haul.

Build quality is where this lift earns its capacity rating. The columns and carriages are formed from 6.0 mm steel and the three-stage lifting arms from 7.75 mm steel, and every unit is proof-tested by a dynamic load at 115% and a static load at 150% of its rated capacity before it ships. The three-stage front and rear arms swing to independent reach ranges — front arms extend from 39 3/8″ to 61 1/4″ and rear arms from 23 13/16″ to 42 5/16″ — so you can position a vehicle for door clearance and still reach the factory lift points.

An extra-wide 115 11/16″ drive-through between the arms clears dually-width trucks, and the lift reaches a maximum height of 78 13/16″ on the rubber pads with adapters. The finish is a two-tone powder coat in Granite Gray (RAL 7026) with Rein Orange (RAL 2004) arms. Standard screw-up rubber pads and 4-inch truck adapters are included; cradle pads and a tripod jack stand are available separately.

The SAE-C14X ships via freight and weighs 2,360 lbs in a 118″ x 44″ x 28″ crate. Freight terms, delivery options, and offloading vary by destination — contact MGS at sales@mygaragesupplies.com or 307-381-1810 to confirm delivery to your address.

FAQ

What electrical service does the SAE-C14X need?

The 4 HP motor runs on 220V single-phase, 60 Hz power behind a 30A breaker. A plug is not included — you will need a 220–250V, 30A plug. The power cord reaches 11 feet.

Does it come with anchor bolts?

Yes. Anchor bolts for installation are included with the lift.

What kind of floor does it require?

A level, solid concrete foundation in good condition with no cracks. Refer to the installation manual for the exact concrete thickness and strength specification, and confirm your slab meets it before installation.

Can I adjust the lifting speed?

Yes. The oil flow valve adjusts speed — tightening it (clockwise) slows the lift, and loosening it (counter-clockwise) speeds it up.

How do I lower the lift if it is stuck up?

Release the safety locks, then release the pressure in the hydraulic system to bring the lift down.

How much ceiling height do I need?

The lift stands 173 3/8″ overall (about 14 ft 5 in). Allow clearance above the overhead beam plus the height of the tallest vehicle you plan to raise.
