The Dannmar D4-9X Four-post lift is designed to handle larger vehicles, featuring impressive 198-inch (502.9 cm) runways that are longer than most drive-on four-post lifts. It easily raises up to 9,000 lbs. (4,082 kg), accommodating most long-wheelbase With these robust specifications, this lift exceeds the dimensional requirements for most crew cabs with standard or long boxes, which typically have wheelbases from 160 to 175 inches (406.4 to 444.5 cm) and weigh 5,500 lbs. (2,495 kg) or more.
The D4-9X also optimizes vertical space, making use of unused overhead areas, especially in garages with 9-foot ceilings. This four-post lift offers a versatile solution for both vehicle maintenance and parking, maximizing your existing floor space. Standard features include a wheel caster kit for mobility, drip trays, and user-friendly aluminum approach ramps. The Dannmar D4-9X is ideal for lifting long-wheelbase
Boxed Steel Construction and Sleeve Containment
The D4-9X features extended-height versions of strong boxed-steel columns (4.75″ x 4.75″ / 12.1 cm x 12.1 cm wide) for maximum durability and resistance to heavy use. The 5/8″ (1.6 cm) thick, 12″ x 12″ (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm) baseplates provide superior support on various floor surfaces. Full-perimeter exterior steel sleeves ensure solid capture of the lift columns, keeping vehicles safe and supported. The Dannmar design cradles these steel sleeves to create an interlock for enhanced security.
Space Efficient
Despite its extended dimensions for long-wheelbase vehicles, the D4-9X efficiently utilizes your shop’s floor space. Dannmar’s exceptional use of room makes this car lift highly recommended for both professional shop and residential settings.
Controlled Operation
Dannmar provides operators with confidence through straightforward and easy controls. This extended-height lift offers fast operation, reaching its maximum rise in just 55 seconds.
Multi-Level Locking Positions
The D4-9X offers sixteen locking positions spaced every four inches (10.2 cm) to accommodate various ceiling and vehicle heights. For more under-vehicle clearance or to park taller trucks and SUVs, the D4-9X includes three additional locking positions, providing 12 inches (30.5 cm) of extra rise compared to the standard D4-9 four-post lift.
Heavy-Duty Aircraft Wire Rope
The D4-9X lift is equipped with four lifting wire ropes made from superior-grade stainless steel. Each of these four wire ropes is rated to support 14,000 lbs. (6,350 kg), meaning their combined rating significantly exceeds the lift’s rated capacity.
Automatic Safety Locks
Four mechanical, 3/4″ (1.9 cm) thick safety locks engage simultaneously as the lift is raised. These locks are securely trapped by the cross tube sleeves, preventing dislodgment or disengagement. A redundant backup slack-cable lock ensures instant engagement for added safety.

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.
George Morgan –
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.

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.
Jason Ward –
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.

Kathleen Green –
Overall a very solid four-post lift. Build quality is great and it feels very safe. Only reason for 4 stars is the instructions could be much better — had to figure out a few steps on my own. But the lift itself is excellent.
Brandon Murphy –
Really happy with the quality and performance of this lift. Took almost a month to arrive though, which was frustrating. Once installed, it works flawlessly. Would give 5 stars if shipping was faster.

Rachel Adams –
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.
Jeffrey Taylor –
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.
