Triumph 16,000 lb Four Post Auto Lift | NTR-16
Built for Big Jobs. The Triumph NTR-16 Delivers Serious Strength and Safety for Commercial-Grade Lifting
Shopping for a 4 post car lift that can handle heavy-duty vehicles without compromising safety or space? You're not alone. Many auto shop owners and DIY mechanics struggle to find a lift with enough strength, runway length, and clearance. Especially when working with trucks, vans, or commercial vehicles. Most lifts just don’t cut it when you’re dealing with higher capacity needs or limited garage space. Above 14,000 lbs the budget-grade options drop out entirely, and the gap between consumer 4-posts and full-commercial equipment widens to a point where most shops end up overspending or under-buying.
The NTR-16 16,000 lb Four Post Auto Lift by Triumph is built to solve all that. With a massive 16,000 lb lifting capacity, it’s a powerhouse designed to support full-size trucks, RVs, and fleet vehicles. The long runways and generous lift height give you plenty of room to work underneath, and the 12 locking positions provide the peace of mind you need when a big job is on the line. Whether you're running a professional auto repair business or outfitting your dream garage, this lift gets the job done safely and reliably. 12 lock positions and industrial-grade steel construction give you the structural confidence to keep crew cabs, dually pickups, and light commercial trucks parked overhead for extended periods without hydraulic creep.
Designed for ease of use and long-term durability, this 4 post auto lift features industrial-grade steel construction, simple operation, and a 220V single-phase electrical system. Check the floor before you order: this lift requires a minimum of 6" of concrete at 3,000 PSI. It's also compatible with the Triumph RJ-9000 rolling bridge jack (9,000 lb, available as an add-on above) and other accessories if you want to turn your lift into a full-service workstation. When you need the best in lifting power and platform stability, the NTR-16 stands out. For shops that handle a steady mix of commercial and consumer vehicles, the NTR-16 sizes up to commercial work without forcing you to commit to commercial pricing.

Benefits of the Triumph NTR-16 Vehicle Lift
Key Features of the Triumph NTR-16 16,000 lb Four-Post Lift You'll Love:
• Massive 16,000 lb Lifting Capacity: Whether you're lifting heavy-duty trucks or commercial vans, this 4 post vehicle lift can handle it. The structural design supports large vehicles with ease, making it ideal for busy shops and fleet garages. 16K rating covers crew cabs, dually pickups, work vans, and most commercial vehicles requiring 4-post service.
• Extended Runway Length: With 224.5 inches of runway, the NTR-16 gives you more flexibility when working with longer vehicles. You won’t have to worry about clearance or awkward overhang. Extended runways handle long-wheelbase trucks and work vans without overhang concerns during loading.
• 12 Locking Positions: The lift includes 12 precise locking points for secure operation. These safety locks engage automatically as you raise the lift, providing added stability at multiple working heights. 12 lock positions give precise height control whether storing a vehicle or working at specific service heights underneath.
• Low Runway Height for Easy Drive-On: The 7.5-inch minimum runway height allows vehicles to drive onto the lift without the need for additional ramps, streamlining your workflow and reducing setup time. Low runway height eliminates ramps' steep drive-on angle, important for low-clearance vehicles like sports cars.
• High Max Lift Height of 74.4 Inches: This generous lift height offers plenty of under-vehicle clearance for suspension work, oil changes, or full inspections. No more crouching or struggling under cramped space. 74.4-inch max lift gives techs full standing clearance under most vehicles for service work.
• Heavy-Duty Steel Frame Construction: Built to last with high-grade steel, the frame is engineered for durability under constant use. It's a serious piece of equipment that stands up to the demands of daily operations. Heavy-gauge steel frame designed for daily commercial cycling, not just occasional service work.

*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 typical passenger-car lift 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.

Triumph NTR-16 Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles can the NTR-16 handle?
This is a true heavy duty truck lift: the 16,000 lb rating takes every 1-ton dually with thousands of pounds to spare, plus medium-duty work trucks, ambulances, shuttle vans, and utility vehicles. The 224.5" runways and adjustable 42.5"-46.4" runway spacing handle wide, long chassis. For box trucks, RVs, and heavier fleet iron, step up to the NTR-24.
What concrete does the NTR-16 need?
A minimum of 6 inches of concrete at 3,000 PSI. That is more than the 4" slab a passenger-car lift calls for, so confirm your floor depth before ordering rather than after delivery. If the slab depth is not documented, have it cored and verified. Installing a 16,000 lb lift on an inadequate slab can result in serious injury or death.
Which NTR-series Triumph is right for me?
This NTR-16 is the entry to the commercial class -- 16,000 lbs for dually and medium-duty work, on a 6" slab. The NTR-24 (24,000 lb, 24-foot runways) covers RVs, box trucks, and dump trucks; the NTR-32 (32,000 lb) is the bus-and-semi class. Both of those need an 8" slab. Under 12,000 lbs, the NSS-11000 or NOS10000 save serious money, run on 110V, and only need 4".
Does the NTR-16 run on 110V power?
No -- this model requires 220V single-phase power. If you only have 110V available, the Triumph NSS-11000 (11,000 lb) and NOS10000 (10,000 lb) both run on standard household power.
Can I add a rolling jack for wheels-off work?
Yes. The Triumph RJ-9000 rolling bridge jack (9,000 lb) rides between the runways and lifts one end of the vehicle for brake, tire, and suspension work -- add it in Optional Accessories above.
How much ceiling height do I need?
The posts stand 88.7" tall and maximum lifting height is 74.4" -- at full rise you have generous walk-under room for service work. Plan on a ceiling of at least 95" and measure your tallest vehicle: total length with ramps is 273.9", so check bay depth too.
How does freight delivery work?
The lift ships as freight at 3,112 lbs on a 234" skid. You can choose curbside freight delivery or free pickup at one of Triumph's 3 warehouse locations -- enter your ZIP above to see whether one is close to you. Most orders arrive within 1-2 weeks.
Is the Triumph NTR-16 worth it?
Sixteen thousand pounds of drive-on capacity at this price undercuts most commercial-grade alternatives by thousands. See the Reviews tab above for buyer feedback, and read our Are Triumph Lifts Worth It? breakdown on The Pitstop Journal.
