Overview
The Coats 12,000 lb Two-Post Lift (model 4T212NSR1/4T212SSR1) delivers professional-grade versatility with innovative 2N1 arm technology that enables both asymmetric and symmetric vehicle positioning from a single configuration. Built in Nashville, Tennessee with US-made Bucher 2HP hydraulic power and 3/8" non-fatigue equalization cables, this lift features 3-piece offset front and rear arms with 90" adjustable reach for optimal access to manufacturer-approved lift points on cars, light trucks, and SUVs. The ALI and ETL certified design incorporates a reinforced column structure with 2.5" × 1.5" inner tube support to minimize flex under load, nickel-plated gear-style arm restraints, and a double-bake powder coat finish for long-term corrosion resistance. With 77" of raised height, 75-second lift time, and included adapter sets for GM frames, sliding arms, and height adjustments, the Coats 12K provides shops with a reliable, low-maintenance solution backed by factory-trained installation and service across North America.

Key Features
2N1 Arm Design with Asymmetric/Symmetric Loading
Innovative 3-piece offset front and rear arms provide 90" adjustable reach for both asymmetric door-clearance positioning and symmetric heavy-vehicle loading from the same lift, with easy access to difficult lift points.
Reinforced Column with Inner Tube Support
2.5" × 1.5" internal tube reinforcement minimizes column flex under maximum load, enhancing structural rigidity, technician safety, and reducing stress on cables, pulleys, and other critical components.
US-Made Bucher 2HP Power Unit
Designed to last the life of the lift, the American-made hydraulic system features single-point lock release and rubber motor mounts to reduce vibration and noise during operation at full power.
Non-Fatigue Cables & Steel Pulleys
3/8" diameter equalization cables paired with 3.5" steel pulleys and bronze bushings deliver balanced lifting motion, extended component life, and lower long-term maintenance requirements.
Double-Bake Powder Coat Finish
Each lift undergoes acid wash, zinc priming, powder coating, and double-bake hardening to create a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that withstands chemicals, road salt, and high-humidity shop conditions.
Complete Adapter Package Included
Every lift includes GM frame adapters, sliding arm adapters, double-screw pad adapters, and 3" & 6" nickel-plated height adapters (set of 8) for immediate use with a wide range of vehicle configurations.
