AMGO 12,000 lb Double Scissor Alignment Lift | DX-12A
Wheels-Free & Alignment-Ready: AMGO DX-12A Double Scissors Alignment Lift
Choosing the right vehicle scissor lift can be a headache when you need speed, safety, and flexibility in one bay. The AMGO DX-12A solves that by pairing a 12,000 lb main lift with an integrated 9,000 lb sub-lift so you can pop all four wheels free without moving the car. It keeps platforms level with dual synchronization cylinders and hose-burst protection, plus photocell monitoring that watches alignment height. Shops also love the simple electro-air controls with an audible alarm and a dual-button lower from 11 3/4 inches to the floor for safety. If you’re running tight schedules for tires, brakes, and alignments, this is the lift that keeps cars moving. Double-scissor configuration provides extra structural stability and reduced platform deflection during alignment work. The kind of precision that matters when measuring suspension geometry to a fraction of a degree.
Built for commercial duty, the DX-12A uses heavy X-scissors, UHMW sliders, and bronze bushings for low upkeep and long life. The extra-wide, non-skid diamond runways measure 196 1/2 inches long and 86 1/4 inches overall width, with 37 inches between runways for easy access. Minimum height is just 12 5/8 inches, so low vehicles load smoothly, while max lift height reaches 72 13/16 inches for stand-up comfort. Alignment geometry is covered with adjustable turnplate pockets up front and rear slip sets, and optional turnplates drop right in. Whether you surface mount or flush mount, the hose covers and tidy control cabinet keep installs clean. 12,000 lb capacity at the double-scissor configuration handles full-size alignment work without platform flex compromising measurement accuracy. The reinforced structural design pairs with built-in turn plate pockets for full alignment workflow.
Performance matters when every minute counts. This vehicle scissor lift rises in about 64 seconds and stays level under asymmetric loads thanks to the synchronized hydraulic circuits. The sub-lift offers 16 1/2 inches of travel with 63 to 74 inch runways, perfect for tire and brake work on SUVs and light trucks. Power is a robust 2.0 HP motor and the gross shipping weight is about 5,728 lbs, reflecting the heavy steel you want in a 12000 lb scissor lift. In short, DX-12A is the alignment scissor lift that lets one tech do more work without shuffling cars between bays. For alignment shops where measurement precision matters (commercial fleet alignment, performance-vehicle alignment), the DX-12A's reinforced structural rating is the right level of equipment.

Benefits of the AMGO DX-12A Double Scissors Alignment Lift
Key Features of the AMGO DX-12A You'll Love:
• Integrated 9,000 lb Sub-lift: The built-in secondary scissor raises all four wheels off the runways for tire, brake, and suspension work without re-spotting the vehicle. That means fewer bay changes and faster ticket times. It’s like having a service jack built into your amgo scissor lift, but safer and repeatable for every car.
• Dual Synchronization Hydraulics: Two large cylinders and a synchronization system keep both platforms level, even under uneven loads. Hose-burst valves and check valves add redundancy so the lift remains stable if a line is compromised. Techs feel the difference in consistent alignment results and confident under-car work.
• Photocell Level Protection with Audible PASS: A photocell monitors platform level and height while the cabinet provides UP, LOCK, DOWN, and PASS controls. From 11 3/4 inches to ground, lowering requires pressing two buttons and triggers an audible alarm to warn nearby techs. This workflow reduces mishaps in busy bays and reinforces safe habits.
• Alignment-ready Pockets and Rear Slip Sets: Adjustable front turnplate pockets accept optional turnplates for precise steering angle readings. New rear slip-ball sets let suspension settle naturally during toe and thrust adjustments. With ranges up to 172 7/8 inches for two-wheel alignments, you can cover most cars, SUVs, and light trucks.
