Overview
The Coats 12,000 lb 2 Post 2N1 Lift is supplied by Liftnow on Sourcewell and NASPO cooperative contracts, with freight and installation coordinated on a single purchase order.
The Coats 12K 2 Post 2N1 is a surface-mounted two-post frame-engaging vehicle lift rated at 12,000 lb (5.5 T). It uses the Coats "2N1" arm set , three-piece offset front arms and extended three-piece rear arms , so the same lift can be loaded asymmetrically or symmetrically. Coats lists 77 in raised height, 89 1/8 in drive-thru width, a 75-second full rise, a 2 HP US-made Bucher hydraulic power unit, and 230V/60Hz/1-phase/20-amp service. Coats publishes a 2N1 model footprint of 137 1/8 in W x 20.5 in D x 158 7/8 in H and a 12 ft 6 in ceiling-height requirement. It is intended for general repair bays servicing cars, light trucks and SUVs. The two dealer part numbers on this platform differ by column colour (R = red, B = blue); Coats' brochure for this platform cites 4T212NSR1 for the 2N1 and 4T212SSR1 for the optional symmetric version, which is a different model and is not covered by these numbers.
