The APlusLift HW-8S and HW-8SXLT are premium 4-post car lifts meticulously engineered for both automotive professionals and dedicated DIY enthusiasts, providing safe and highly efficient solutions for vehicle parking, storage, and comprehensive servicing. Building upon a proven design that has been refined over 30 years, both models boast a robust 8,000 LB (approximately 3,628 kg) lifting capacity, making them capable of handling a wide array of passenger vehicles, light trucks, and SUVs. Crucially, both lifts are CE certified, adhering to stringent European safety standards and providing assurance of their structural integrity and operational safety.
Constructed from high-grade steel and finished with a durable powder coating, these lifts are designed to resist corrosion effectively, ensuring long-lasting performance and maintaining a professional appearance even in demanding workshop environments. An integrated 110V 1.5HP hydraulic power unit powers both models, delivering smooth, reliable lifting operations with enhanced efficiency and safety. Key features across both models include an industry-leading 3-year (36-month) warranty, covering both the structure and hydraulic components, demonstrating APlusLift’s commitment to quality and customer peace of mind. Both lifts are rated for impressive load capacities, specifically 115% dynamic and 150% static, further reinforcing their robust design.
Each lift comes as a complete package, including essential accessories to maximize utility: a caster kit with polyurethane wheels for easy mobility, a convenient jack tray for additional lifting points, three practical drip trays to protect vehicles parked below from fluid leaks, two removable approach ramps for smooth vehicle loading, and a 10 ft power cord with a plug for straightforward electrical connection. The lifts utilize heavy-duty 3/8″ cables, designed to improve synchronization during lifting and extend the overall lifespan of the system. For enhanced versatility, the ABJ-40 Air Operated Bridge Jack is available as an optional add-on (sold separately).

I was nervous spending this much on a home garage lift, but this thing is built like a tank. The anti-slip runway surface gives me confidence and the caster kit makes it easy to reposition. Already done three oil changes and a brake job with it.
Amanda Clark –
It’s a functional four-post lift at a competitive price. The finish has some rough spots and the hydraulic pump is noisier than I expected. It works, but it’s not as refined as more expensive options.
Patrick Baker –
Six months in and this lift has been flawless. Use it at least twice a week for various projects. The hydraulic pump is quiet, the locks engage cleanly, and the runways have plenty of length for my extended cab truck.
Brian Edwards –
The lift itself is fantastic — heavy duty, smooth operation, great safety features. But assembly was a real project. Plan for a full weekend with help. Once it’s up, though, it’s perfect.
Kenneth Martinez –
Really like this lift overall. Sturdy, safe, and well-built. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the hydraulic fluid wasn’t included and the manual didn’t specify the type clearly. Minor issue for an otherwise great product.
Margaret Miller –
The lift itself seems solid and works well now that it’s assembled. But the installation was a nightmare — poor instructions, some bolt holes didn’t align perfectly, and I had to fabricate a couple of spacers. If you’re handy, you can make it work.
Helen Watson –
Bought this primarily for double parking in my garage but ended up using it for service work too. The clearance underneath is great and the approach ramps make driving on easy. My wife can even load her car up without issues.
Brenda White –
The lift is excellent quality and works great. However, the installation manual is poorly translated and some diagrams are hard to follow. YouTube helped fill in the gaps. Product itself deserves 5 stars.

Jacob Cook –
Great build quality and solid performance. The approach ramps could be a little longer for low-clearance vehicles, but otherwise this is an outstanding lift for the price.
Margaret Williams –
Installed this in my 2-car garage and it transformed my workspace. The runways are wide enough for my full-size truck and the lifting speed is smooth and consistent. Safety locks click in positively. This is professional-grade equipment at a fair price.
Jerry Turner –
I run a small side business doing maintenance for friends and family. This lift handles everything from sedans to light trucks without breaking a sweat. The powder coat finish still looks new after months of use.
Richard Gomez –
As a retired mechanic, I know quality when I see it. This lift meets commercial standards in terms of build quality and safety features. The welds are clean, the hardware is grade 8, and the hydraulic system is properly engineered.
Deborah Davis –
This four-post lift is exactly what my garage needed. Installation took about a weekend with a buddy helping, but the end result is fantastic. Locks engage smoothly at every position and the lift feels incredibly stable. My truck sits up there like it’s on solid ground.
Patricia Kelly –
Finally got tired of crawling under my vehicles on a creeper. This lift changed everything. Setup was straightforward following the manual, and the quality of the steel and hardware is impressive. Hydraulic system is smooth and quiet.
