Dannmar’s D4-9 four-post lift is a robust and high-quality solution featuring welded-steel construction, a long-lasting proven design, and a strong commitment to quality, safety, and value. The D4-9 is built with the strength to lift very heavy vehicles up to 9,000 lbs. (4,082 kg) and boasts quick lifting speeds.
One of the D4-9’s standout features is its ability to store a vehicle fully raised above the ground, while still providing open space below. This means you gain valuable open floor space for repairs or additional storage, effectively offering both vehicle parking and ground storage within the same footprint.
Each Dannmar D4-9 comes standard with four quick-mount casters for easy mobility across the floor. Also included are lightweight and tough polyethylene drip trays, a mobile jack tray, easily removable aluminum approach ramps, and forward and rear-mounted hardened steel tire stops.
A Fitting Idea
The D4-9 is efficiently sized to fit many home garages with limited space. Loading vehicles is easy thanks to the lightweight, removable aluminum ramps, which also aid in avoiding undercar clearance issues. The lift’s multi-position locks further enhance flexibility. These features make Dannmar’s D4-9 design an ideal solution for concerns related to low-vehicle suspensions or shorter overhead heights. Dannmar’s D4-9 four-post car and light-duty truck lift can significantly expand your shop’s versatility.
Continuous Improvements
Dannmar has reinforced the boxed-steel columns to 4.75″ x 4.75″ (12.1 cm x 12.1 cm) for maximum strength and incredible resistance to twisting and flexing. This includes 5/8″ (1.6 cm) thick, 12″ x 12″ (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm) baseplates designed to enhance support loads on varying floor surfaces. The columns are surrounded by full-perimeter exterior steel sleeves that securely hold the lift columns, and this stability-enhancing design further reinforces the columns by cradling the steel sleeves to provide an interlock that improves overall firmness.

Debra Murphy –
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.
Donald Bailey –
This lift completely changed how I work on my vehicles. No more ramps and jack stands. The safety system gives me peace of mind and the whole unit feels overbuilt in the best way possible. Highly recommend.
Pamela Young –
Went from a cluttered single-car garage to a fully functional two-car setup thanks to this lift. Park one car on top, work on another below. The installation guide could be better, but the product itself is outstanding.
Raymond Davis –
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.
Thomas Cooper –
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.
Edward Bailey –
After months of research, I pulled the trigger on this lift and couldn’t be happier. The build quality is top-notch — heavy gauge steel, clean welds, and a powder coat that looks like it’ll last. Raised my SUV for the first time and had zero concerns about stability.
Stephen Moore –
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.
Angela Scott –
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.
Samantha Clark –
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.
Barbara Jackson –
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.
Linda Smith –
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.
Michelle Edwards –
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.
Paul Lopez –
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.
