Description: The Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT is a true 8,000 LB. four post lift. The Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT incorporates many of the great features of both the Atlas Garage Pro 8000 and the Atlas Garage Pro 9000.
Many of our customers drive an SUV or pick up truck and wanted a storage lift that would "go higher" to allow them to park their taller vehicles under the elevated ramps.
Many of our competitors sell "taller" lifts. However, their "taller" lifts also have longer runways. Our customers requested that we make a lift which lifts higher, but does not need to have longer ramps. (Longer ramps take up needed garage space). Most customers want to store a car on top and park a SUV or pick up truck below. There is no need for longer ramps. Our Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT ramps will accommodate a vehicle with a 156 inch wheel base. The Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT has been engineered to provide 79" of clearance UNDER the bottom of the raised runway, but keep the runway length to just less than 14 feet long.
If you need the extra lifting height of the Atlas Garage Pro 9000, but do not need the extra width and runway length provided by that lift, then the NEW Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT is the perfect choice.
The Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT is capable of lifting your pick up truck or car 84 1/4 inches. This above ground lift is the perfect choice for storing your vehicle. The extended height feature of the Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT Plus makes this lift the perfect choice for parking taller vehicles under stored vehicles.
The Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT comes standard with a powerful 110 volt power unit.
How to Use a Power Tailgate to Help You Unload Your Product From a Truck.
Most truck shipments will be delivered by a commercial freight carrier operating a tractor/trailer rig. The semi trailer will be enclosed. Most commercial carriers have smaller straight trucks and some have small flatbed trucks, but the majority of freight companies will not use these smaller trucks for your delivery. Greg Smith Equipment cannot guarantee the type of truck that will be used for delivery. You should assume that your product will be delivered on a tractor/trailer rig that uses a 53 foot enclosed trailer. This is a VERY LONG rig. It is the truck driver's responsibility to make sure that your product is brought to the back of the delivery truck. It is the customer's responsibility to unload the product from the truck. Watch our video on how to unload your two post or four post lift from a semi truck.

Pulley Block System: The Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT exclusive "Pulley Block System" uses a larger diameter cylinder and piston than the competition. The advantages of this system include reducing side loading pressure on the cylinder shaft bearings. The system provides 2" of lift for every 1" of piston stroke travel.
Lock Ladder Column Design: The Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT has the same "lock ladder" column design system as the Garage Pro 8000, Garage Pro 9000, and Atlas 14K. The columns on our 7,000 LB. 8,000 LB. 9,000 LB. and 14,000 LB. four post lifts incorporate the "lock ladder" system which allows the customer to level the lift runways (both front to back and side to side), on floors that are not quite level. The "lock ladder" column system is the same column system found on professional grade lifts found in car dealerships and automotive service centers.
Double Lock Safety System: This Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT locking system offers a unique two position locking mechanism found only in commercial grade cable style four post lifts. The DOUBLE LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM is found exclusively on the Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT, Atlas Garage Pro 8000, Atlas Garage Pro 9000, and the Atlas Pro 14K.
The Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT incorporates the unique DOUBLE LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM into each of its four oversized columns. The DOUBLE LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM is designed to ensure that if a lifting cable becomes slack (for any reason), the secondary locking mechanism automatically engages. This DOUBLE LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM is found only on other four post above ground lifts costing hundreds of dollars more than the Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT.
Flow Restrictor: Greg Smith Equipment is proud to announce that many of our two post and four post lifts manufactured in our off shore factory (after 08-01-07) have flow restrictor valves installed in the hydraulic system. Some lifts do not require a flow restrictor.
Single Point Release: The Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT has manual single point release that allows the operator to release all the safety locks at one time.
Does Not Need To Be Anchored To The Floor: The Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT DOES NOT need to be anchored to the floor. However, if you are using a four post above ground lift many times each day, the lift may "scoot" a little on a smooth concrete floor. All four post lifts (Including the Direct Lift four post lifts and all other competitor's four post lifts) will move slightly on a smooth concrete floor if there is a constant flow of vehicles on and off the lift. The stability and integrity of the lift will not be compromised by the slight "scooting" of the four post lift. To eliminate the possibility of any "scooting", we recommend you anchor (with just one anchor) two of the column bases to your concrete floor. This anchoring will prevent the lift from "scooting".
Installation: Most of our above ground lift customers install their own car lifts. The average time to assemble the Atlas Garage Pro 8000 EXT car lift is four hours.
We provide detailed installation instructions with all our two post above ground lifts and our four post above ground lifts.
Parts: Greg Smith Equipment stocks a complete inventory of lift parts for all the lifts we sell. Lift parts and technical support personnel are available.
Certain competitors do not stock the lifts they advertise and do not stock any of the lift parts or accessories. Lifting a car is serious business. Call the professionals at Greg Smith Equipment.

Atlas RJ-35 Sliding Jacks:
The Atlas RJ-35 (3500 LB. capacity) sliding hydraulic vehicle jack is the perfect choice for the owner of the Atlas Garage Pro 8000. The Atlas RJ-35 will also fit the Atlas Garage Pro 9000. The Atlas RJ-35 Sliding Jack is for those who want to perform wheel service on a vehicle that is positioned on top of their four post lift.
The complete Atlas Garage Pro 8000 four post lift comes with a jack tray. The jack tray has certain limitations that are eliminated by using the Atlas RJ-35. The jack tray (with a small floor jack or jack stands) will support ONLY THOSE LIFTING POINTS of the raised vehicle that are between the runways of the Atlas Garage Pro 8000 four post lift. The Atlas RJ-35 Sliding Jack has telescoping arms that can be extended over the runways of the four post lift. The lift pads at the end of these arms can be positioned under the LIFTING POINTS (that are located over the runways of the four post lift) of the vehicle allowing the operator to access many more LIFTING POINTS than just using the jack tray.
The Atlas RJ-35 Sliding Jack comes standard with a set of peg style truck adapters which increase the lifting height of the lift pads. These truck adapters will allow the Atlas RJ-35 sliding hydraulic jack to raise pick up trucks that will sit higher on the runways than the average passenger car. The Atlas RJ-35 is operated by a manual hydraulic pump (porta-power pump) and does not require an air compressor for power. The Atlas RJ-35 sliding hydraulic jack also features two solid locking positions that are used when the vehicle is to be suspended above the runways. When the locking positions of the Atlas RJ-35 are engaged, the hydraulic pressure from the lifting cylinder of the RJ-35 is eliminated. (These locks act much like a pair of jack stands after you lift a vehicle off the ground with a service jack).
Finally, the versatile Atlas RJ-35 sliding jack is adjustable to fit between the runways of many of the other four post lifts that have been sold in the last several years.
