If you’re a professional mechanic, auto shop owner, or dedicated car enthusiast, you know the struggle of working under a vehicle without the right lift. Floor jacks and jack stands are unreliable, time-consuming, and unsafe for heavy-duty lifting. That’s where the KT-H105 Two-Post Vehicle Lift by Katool comes in. And the 10K range is where most home-shop buyers settle in. It covers nearly all passenger vehicles and light trucks without forcing you to oversize for capacity you'll rarely use.
Built to handle up to 10,000 lbs, this two post car lift is engineered for superior lifting performance and safety. Whether you’re servicing a sedan, SUV, or light-duty truck, the KT-H105 makes vehicle maintenance effortless. The dual hydraulic chain-drive cylinders provide smooth, reliable lifting while the manual safety release ensures total control over lowering operations. Heavy-duty steel construction at the 10K capacity level uses thicker structural columns than budget 8K lifts, with safety certifications that cover the full structural rating, not approximated load testing.
Designed for professionals and home garages alike, this two-post car lift features a sturdy base plate design, CE certification, and rubber pad door protection to keep your vehicle safe during lifts. With a drive-thru clearance of 98.4 inches, even large vehicles can be accommodated with ease. If you’re looking for a 2-post car lift 10,000 lb capacity that is safe, durable, and built to last, the Katool KT-H105 is the ultimate investment. * For home-shop owners and small commercial operations, the KT-H105 hits the practical sweet spot between capability and footprint without overspending on commercial-grade equipment.

Benefits of the Katool H105 Auto Lift
Key Features of the Katool 10,000lb Two-Post Auto Lift You'll Love:
• 10,000 lb Lifting Capacity: Ideal for cars, SUVs, and light-duty trucks, providing the strength needed to handle a wide variety of vehicles without limitations. 10K is the practical sweet spot for shops handling daily passenger vehicles plus the occasional full-size pickup or work van.
• Dual Hydraulic Chain-Drive Cylinders: Ensures smooth, reliable operation. The dual-cylinder design enhances balance and distributes weight evenly for safer lifting. Chain-drive cylinders avoid the cable-equalization wear that's the primary failure point in cheaper 2-post lifts at this capacity tier.
• Manual Safety Release: Adds extra security during lowering, allowing for precise descent control to minimize risks. Manual safety release is mechanically simple and operator-controlled. Fewer failure modes than air-actuated alternatives.
• Base Plate Design: Offers superior stability for heavy loads, minimizing movement and ensuring a secure, level lift every time. Baseplate design fits residential 9-10 foot ceilings without modification, where overhead 2-post lifts won't install.
• Rubber Pad Door Protection: Prevents vehicle damage when positioning by cushioning door edges, reducing the risk of accidental dents and scratches. Rubber pads protect frame finish during contact and prevent the marring that's a real issue on premium vehicle finishes.
• Screw-on Pads & Extension Support Adaptors: Includes +100mm adaptors for greater lifting versatility, accommodating vehicles with varying frame heights for a customized fit. Screw-on pads and extension adapters cover frame heights from low cars to body-on-frame trucks without arm-swap overhead.

Katool KT-H105 Frequently Asked Questions
Will my truck fit on the KT-H105?
As a 10,000 lb 2 post lift it covers every half-ton pickup, SUV, and sedan with margin -- an F-150 or Silverado 1500 curbs between 4,500 and 5,800 lbs. The staggered arm reach (29.5"-46" front, 35.4"-58.2" rear) makes it easy to hit lift points on both short coupes and long-wheelbase trucks. For 3/4-ton and heavier work, step up to the AK-H115Z or KT-M110.
Which Katool 2-post is right for me?
This KT-H105 pairs 10,000 lbs with the longest rear arm reach in the 10K class. The KT-H100 is the value 10K pick; the AK-H115Z steps up to 11,000 lbs with a floor-plate design for lower ceilings; the KT-M110 is the 11,000 lb clear-floor overhead model; and the AS110D adds asymmetrical arms for wide-open door clearance.
Will it fit in a home garage?
Very likely -- at 110.9" (9'3") overall height, this is a 2 post lift for home garage ceilings as low as about 10 feet. Measure post height plus your ceiling before ordering, and remember max lifting height is 70.8", so taller vehicles raise the ceiling math.
Does the KT-H105 run on 110V power?
No -- like nearly all 2-post lifts, it needs 220V single-phase on a dedicated circuit. If your garage only has 110V, our Katool 4 post lifts run on standard household power.
Do I need to bolt it to the floor?
Yes -- unlike a 4-post, a 2-post lift must be anchored. Your slab needs to be at least 5.9" (150 mm) thick at 3,000 PSI compressive strength. Verify your concrete before ordering; it's the single most important install requirement on any 2-post.
Should I get a 2-post or a 4-post lift?
Two-post lifts like this one are the pick for repair work -- wheels hang free, so brakes, suspension, and tires are wide open. Four-posts win for storage and drive-on convenience. Our 2-Post vs 4-Post guide walks through the decision in five minutes.
How does freight delivery work?
The lift ships as freight at about 1,256 lbs. You can choose curbside freight delivery or free pickup at one of 42 warehouse locations nationwide -- enter your ZIP above to find the closest one. Most orders arrive within 1-2 weeks.
Is the Katool KT-H105 worth it?
It's one of the least expensive true 10,000 lb 2-posts on the market with CE-tested construction. See the Reviews tab above for buyer feedback, and read our Are Katool Car Lifts Worth It? breakdown on The Pitstop Journal.
