Katool KT-X80 8000lbs Mid Rise Scissor Lift

The Katool KT-X80 is a mid-rise scissor lift rated at 8,000 lbs (3,500 kg), available in pneumatic or electric safety release configurations depending on your shop setup. It carries CE certification, independently tested at 115% dynamic and 150% static load capacity, and runs on 110V or 220V single-phase, 60 Hz service. The lift installs as either a portable or fixed-mount unit — a included mobility kit lets it roll between bays when needed, or it anchors in place for permanent installation. Note: the pneumatic version requires a compressed air source; for shops without one, the electric model operates independently with no compressor needed.

Control runs through a 24V low-voltage system with a height limit switch that cuts the lift before it overtravel — a safeguard that matters on a lift cycling repeatedly through a shift. The aluminum motor with integrated cooling fan prevents heat buildup during extended use, and the top-level hydraulic system keeps lifting consistent across daily cycles without pressure drop. Composite rubber lifting blocks protect rocker panels and pinch welds during contact, and self-lubricated bushings and bearings reduce maintenance intervals. The drive-up ramp lock design extends the platform length for longer vehicles — full-size trucks and vans that would otherwise overhang a standard scissor platform.

The KT-X80 fits professional repair shops that want a mid-rise with a higher weight rating than most scissor lifts in this class, detailing and inspection operations that need full undercarriage access on a portable platform, and home garage owners building out a serious workspace who want CE-certified safety ratings and the flexibility to run either fixed or mobile depending on how the space evolves.
