Forward Lift's DP18N002 is same as DP18 except with an additional 2' height. The DP18 vehicle lift is ALI and ETL Certified.

Truck Adapter Extensions: The DP18 comes with eight aircraft grade aluminum truck adapter extensions. Four 5" and four 10" adapters allow you to lift a wide range of vehicles. These are heavy duty adapters without the "heavy". Because they’re made of aluminum you’ll be able to place and maneuver them without strain. They have a convenient column bracket for storage.

Extended Height Model Options: The DP18 offers two different height options, for the lower ceiling option DP18N000 the overhead cross member mounts directly to the column without a column extension to fit a 155-3/4" (12'-11-3/4") ceiling height. The extended height DP18N002 fits a 200" (16'-8") ceiling height. With these options it’s easy to choose the best package to fit into your existing shop.

Low Profile Arms: Forward’s new HD two post arms feature a low profile adapter engagement area. This allows for greater flexibility of this lift. You’ll be able to encompass more service built around a lift that can handle most trucks and vans. The arms have heavy duty gusseting, are two stage that can easily be extended (61" Length) and retracted (38" Length) while lying on the floor to spot. Couple that with the light adapter extensions and you win the spotting large vehicle battle!

The DP18 is a commercial grade heavy grade truck lift and should not be confused with any other cheap two post vehicle lifts. This is a Forward lift so it has been engineered to preform and built to last!

The DP18 lift is certified by ALI (Automotive Lift Institute) to meet American National Standard.
