The Atlas® Platinum PVL15 is a 15,000 lb. capacity ALI Certified two-post overhead lift built for professional shops that regularly service long-wheelbase trucks, service bodies, and heavier-duty vehicles. With an overall height of 14'6½" (174½"), it provides the clearance needed for taller vans and work trucks, and it can be extended an additional 2 feet with a height extension kit when ceiling space allows. That flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of bay layouts without changing the core lift structure.
At its core, the PVL15 uses dual direct-drive hydraulic cylinders paired with heavy-duty 3/8" equalization cables, delivering stable, synchronized lifting across both columns. The system is powered by the ALLY Hydraulic AL2300 power unit, MET-certified for electrical compliance in the U.S. and Canada. It’s engineered with reinforced windings and higher-grade internal conductors to reduce heat buildup and maintain steady torque during repeated lift cycles, which is especially important in high-throughput service environments.
The PVL15 is designed around symmetric arms and a professional-grade arm lock restraint system, giving technicians predictable positioning across a wide range of vehicle wheelbases. The padded carriages and included frame adapters help protect vehicle contact points while improving flexibility for different chassis types. With its 15,000 lb. capacity, it sits in the upper tier of two-post lifts, making it suitable for heavier pickups and fleet vehicles that push beyond standard 10K–12K systems.
This lift is best suited for commercial repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, and dealership service departments that need maximum two-post capacity without moving into specialty heavy-duty truck lift systems. It’s built for daily use, consistent cycling, and mixed-vehicle service work where strength and reliability matter more than compact footprint.
