AMGO 7,000 lb Portable Single Post Car Lift | SML-7
Move Power Wherever You Need It. AMGO SML-7 Portable Single-Post Lift Handles 7,000 lbs with Ease
Many shops and home garages struggle to find a lift that’s both powerful and easy to move. Often ending up with bulky equipment that hogs precious floor space. The AMGO SML-7 fixes that by packing a 7,000 lb lifting capacity into a pallet-jack style chassis you can wheel anywhere. With AMGO’s patented single-handle arm-lock release, one person can lock or unlock both arms in a single motion. So you stay focused on the job, not the gear. Portable single-post lifts add another dimension to the single-post category: mobility. Roll the lift between bays, into a side garage, or out for occasional service work. The SML-7 brings portability to the 7K capacity tier where most lifts default to permanent install.
The compact footprint slips into tight bays, while the dual-lock safety mechanism auto-engages every time you rise. Whether on 110 V or 220 V, the ETL-certified power unit lifts in 38 s (220 V) or 84 s (110 V), keeping workflows predictable. Self-lubricating UHMW sliders and bronze bushings minimize wear, and the included 3″ adapters plus combo rubber pads protect vehicle pinch-welds. 7,000 lb capacity covers full-size sedans and most mid-size SUVs. Portable design with included casters means the lift goes where the work is, without sacrificing structural rating.
If you need a nimble lift that stores away when not in use, the SML-7’s pallet-jack chassis wheels out of the way. No permanent anchors required. It’s the ultimate solution for maximizing bay flexibility without sacrificing heavy-duty performance. For mobile mechanics, multi-bay shops where lift utilization matters, or owners with varied service needs, the SML-7 fits the workflow without forcing a permanent bay commitment.

AMGO SML-7 Frequently Asked Questions
How is the SML-7 different from the SL-7?
Mobility. Same 7,000 lb single-post lifting (to 77-13/16" with adapters), but the SML-7 rides an integrated portable chassis -- roll it between bays, across the shop, or out of the way entirely. The fixed SL-7 costs less if the lift never needs to move.
Does the SML-7 run on a normal home outlet?
Yes -- the standard 1.0 HP motor runs on 110V (84-second rise), with a 2.0 HP 220V option cutting that to 38 seconds.
Will my truck fit on the SML-7?
The 7,000 lb capacity covers cars, crossovers, and most half-ton trucks, with a 90-3/8" arm span and 3-7/16" minimum pad height. Balance matters on a single post -- position the arms per the manual for every vehicle.
Which AMGO space-saver is right for me?
This SML-7 is the portable full-height single post. Storage and parking instead of service? The SPL-6 stacks two vehicles on a platform. Prefer working at seated height with total side access? The MRP06 portable mid-rise is the scissor alternative.
Does a portable lift still need good concrete?
Yes -- the chassis spreads the load, but you still need a flat slab at least 4" thick in good condition. Position, lift, and set the safety locks before working.
Is the AMGO SML-7 worth it?
A full-height lift that moves where the work is, backed by AMGO's 5-year structure / 3-year hydraulics / 2-year electrical warranty. See the Reviews tab above for buyer feedback, and our lift style guide if you're comparing categories.
