Triumph 16,000 lb Two Post Vehicle Auto Lift | NT-16
Built for Fleet Work and Big Trucks. The Triumph NT-16 Two Post Lift Gets the Job Done Right
Finding a reliable 2 post car lift that can handle heavy-duty vehicles without headaches can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Many shop owners and mechanics deal with lifts that wear out too fast, struggle under heavier loads, or require constant maintenance just to function safely. The cost of downtime, not to mention the risk to your techs and vehicles, makes settling for a subpar lift a bad gamble every time. And the certification gap matters more at this capacity than most buyers realize. At 16,000 lbs, the difference between a lift that's been ISO-tested at full capacity versus one that's been spec-stamped for marketing makes a real safety difference.

It’s built for speed too, with a 40-second lift time that keeps your workflow moving and your bay turning vehicles faster. ISO 9001 and CE certifications cover both the structural rating and the manufacturing process, with included truck adapters and mounting hardware giving you a true ready-to-install package.

Triumph NT-16 Frequently Asked Questions
What trucks can the NT-16 handle?
As a heavy duty 2-post, the 16,000 lb rating takes every 1-ton dually, medium-duty work trucks, ambulances, and shuttle vans -- with 20" x 20" base plates spreading the load and truck adapters included. For loaded box trucks and heavier, the 20,000 lb NTO-20 is the step up.
Will it fit under a low ceiling?
Yes -- at 120" (10') overall, this floor-plate design brings 16,000 lbs of capacity to bays where a 165" overhead lift can't go. Note the 7" lowered height: arms sit a bit taller than light-duty lifts, as expected at this class.
Which heavy-duty Triumph 2-post is right for me?
This NT-16 is the low-ceiling 16,000 lb pick. The NTO-16 is the same capacity in clear-floor form with an electric safety cutoff; the NTO-20 adds 4,000 lbs for the heaviest fleet iron; and if 11,000 lbs covers you, the NT-11 costs meaningfully less.
Does the NT-16 run on 110V power?
No -- the 3 HP motor needs 220V on a dedicated circuit, standard in commercial shops. Plan the electrical before delivery.
Do I need to bolt it to the floor?
Yes -- every 2-post must be anchored, and at 16,000 lbs the slab is critical: 3,000 PSI concrete minimum. Verify your floor before ordering.
Should I get a 2-post or a 4-post lift?
Two-posts like this one are built for repair work -- wheels hang free for brakes, suspension, and tires. For drive-on convenience at this capacity, our 16,000 lb Triumph NTR-16 4-post is the alternative. Our 2-Post vs 4-Post guide walks through the decision.
How does freight delivery work?
The lift ships as freight at about 2,000 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 Triumph NT-16 worth it?
Sixteen thousand pounds of wheels-free capacity under a 10-foot ceiling is a spec that barely exists elsewhere -- and it costs thousands less than commercial-brand equivalents. See the Reviews tab above for buyer feedback, and read our Are Triumph Lifts Worth It? breakdown on The Pitstop Journal.
