What is the difference between BP and OH?
A. The Base Plate (BP) design two post lift (CL 9,000 BP, CJ 10,000 BP, SL 10,000 BP, SL 12,000 BP, etc.) is designed for applications where there is 9′ 3″ of ceiling height clearance. This design is ideal for lifting both cars and trucks where vertical space is limited. Base Plate lifts are also known as “Open Top” lifts, sometimes these are preferred not for low ceiling environments, butfor lifting tall vehicles that do not fit under the overhead bar on the Overhead lifts. The Overhead (OH) design two post lift (CL 9,000 OH, CJ 10,000 OH, SL 10,000 OH, SL 12,000 OH, etc.) is designed for applications where ceiling height clearance is not an issue. The CL OH lifts require 11′ 11″ of ceiling height. The SL 10,000 OH has 2 height settings – 11′ 6″ OR 12′ 5″, and the SL 12,000 OH has 2 height settings as well – 13′ 10″ OR 14′ 7″. Overhead lifts come with a safety cut off bar which help to prevent damage to vehicles from lifting them too high. This design is ideal for lifting both cars an
