Atlas Platinum ALI Certified Commercial Grade Overhead 2-Post Lift - 15,000 lb Capacity | PVL15
Certified for Big Jobs. The PVL15 Lift Raises Service Trucks, Dualies, and Fleet Vans Without Breaking a Sweat
Shopping for a two post car lift that’s genuinely built to handle large trucks and commercial-duty work is no small feat. Many lifts claim high capacities but can’t deliver consistent, long-term performance under real shop conditions. For serious shops servicing long wheelbase trucks and utility vehicles, you need something dependable, rugged, and certified for safety. That’s where the Atlas Platinum PVL15 comes in. A true commercial-grade lift with an impressive 15,000 lb capacity and ALI Certification for peace of mind. 15K is the inflection point where commercial-vehicle work crosses from consumer-grade lift territory into true commercial structural rating. Atlas's PVL15 sits firmly in the commercial Platinum tier with full ALI certification.
The PVL15 isn’t just strong. It’s designed with oversized vehicles in mind. With an extra-tall 174.5” overhead height, extendable by an additional 24 inches with an optional kit, it offers generous clearance for taller work vans, lifted pickups, and service trucks. Plan the ceiling for the build you are actually buying: the standard lift wants about 180” of ceiling, and with the extension kit fitted it stands 198.5” and wants about 204.5”. The symmetrical arms offer balanced lifting for longer vehicles, while the 107.5” drive-thru width allows easy access even for dual rear-wheel trucks. Plus, the included truck adapter set and frame adapters make it ready for just about anything that rolls into your bay. 15,000 lb structural rating handles fleet trucks, work vans, ambulances, and most light commercial vehicles. Reinforced columns sized for daily commercial cycling, anchored into a minimum 6" slab at 3,000 PSI.
Powering the lift is the ALLY AL2300 Hydraulic Power Unit, known for its premium build and reliable performance. It features enhanced windings, heavy-duty armatures, and MET certification for electrical safety. Whether you're using it daily in a busy auto shop or adding it to a growing fleet service operation, the PVL15 delivers quiet, consistent lifting with reduced heat output and constant torque. This is a 2 post car lift that doesn’t just meet expectations. It redefines them. For commercial shops handling fleet-vehicle service and other 15K-capable work, the PVL15 delivers genuine heavy-duty commercial capability with Platinum-tier ALI certification.
Benefits of the Atlas PVL15 Auto Lift
Key Features of the Atlas PVL15 15,000lb Overhead Two-Post Lift You'll Love:
• ALI Certified for Commercial Use: This lift isn’t just powerful. It’s ALI Certified, which means it’s tested for safety, structural integrity, and performance. It meets the highest standards in the industry, ensuring your team can work with full confidence day after day.
• 15,000 lb Capacity for Big Trucks: From dually trucks to long-wheelbase service vans, this lift handles the heavyweights with ease. The reinforced structure and oversized 8" x 14-1/2" columns keep everything stable, even at full capacity, making it perfect for diesel and commercial work. Plan on a minimum 6" slab at 3,000 PSI to anchor it.
• Symmetric Arm Configuration for Balanced Lifting: Symmetric arms are ideal for evenly distributed loads like vans, buses, and trucks. This design helps you keep vehicles centered and prevents uneven strain, which extends the life of your equipment.
• Extended Height with Optional Kit: Need more overhead room? No problem. The standard 174.5” height can be increased by 24” with a Height Extension Kit, making it great for shops that work on lifted vehicles or tall-roof cargo vans. Remember that the extended build stands 198.5”, so confirm your ceiling can take it before you add the kit.
• Premium ALLY Power Unit: The ALLY AL2300 is a workhorse. With more windings and heavy-duty components, it reduces overheating while delivering constant torque. It's also certified for use in both the U.S. And Canada, giving you peace of mind when it comes to compliance and safety.
• Included Truck & Frame Adapters: No need to buy extras. The PVL15 comes with a full 8-piece truck adapter kit plus screw-up frame adapters in four 5” and four 10” heights, so you're equipped right out of the box to service a wider range of vehicles.

*Concrete must meet the manufacturer's minimum requirements as specified above. This lift requires 6 inches of concrete at 3,000 PSI, more than the 4" a lighter 2-post calls for. Installing this lift on inadequate concrete may result in serious injury or death. It is the customer's responsibility to verify concrete thickness and strength prior to purchase and installation. Stacking taller vehicles vertically may require additional ceiling height. Measure your specific vehicles before ordering. Note: 2-post overhead lifts inherently require tall ceilings, and the optional height extension kit adds 24 inches to the overall height. Verify your overhead clearance for the configuration you are ordering.
