It features asymmetric telescoping arms — front reach 22.8–37.8 in (580–960 mm), rear reach 29.9–48 in (760–1,220 mm) — dual synchronized hydraulic cylinders with pressure relief and velocity fuses, mechanical pawl safety locks at multiple heights, a clear-floor crossbar design for unobstructed jack and creeper movement, and stackable low-profile pad adapters for sedans, SUVs, and trucks with frame rails. Overall height approximately 111 in (284 cm), overall width approximately 135.8 in (345 cm), clearance width approximately 107 in (272 cm). Requires a 220V single-phase dedicated circuit. Backed by a 5-year frame and lift structure warranty and a 3-year hydraulics and power unit warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"pgs-why-choose\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Customers Choose the BlueForge Atlas A12\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e12,000 lb (5,500 kg) rated capacity for cars, SUVs, and light-duty trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAsymmetric arm configuration rotates the vehicle rearward on the posts, keeping doors clear of the columns for easy entry and exit with the vehicle raised\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eClear-floor crossbar design — no base plate between posts means free movement of floor jacks, creepers, and transmission jacks throughout the work area\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDual synchronized hydraulic cylinders with pressure relief and velocity fuses for smooth, level lifting and controlled descent\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMechanical pawl safety locks engage automatically at multiple heights — secure holding without relying solely on hydraulic pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStackable low-profile pad adapters accommodate sedans, body-on-frame trucks, and SUVs without a separate adapter kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOversized high-tensile steel columns, premium hydraulic hoses, and sealed power unit for commercial-grade durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e5-year frame and lift structure warranty and 3-year hydraulics and power unit warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"pgs-highlights\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pgs-highlight-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 class=\"icon-arms\"\u003eAsymmetric Telescoping Arm Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAsymmetric two-post lifts rotate the vehicle slightly rearward relative to the columns compared to symmetric lifts — this positions the vehicle doors away from the posts when the vehicle is raised, allowing the driver and passenger doors to open fully without contacting the columns. This is the primary reason professional shops specify asymmetric over symmetric lifts for general service work: technicians can enter and exit vehicles, retrieve items from the interior, and work around open doors without the columns being in the way. The Atlas A12’s telescoping arms extend from 22.8 to 37.8 in (front) and 29.9 to 48 in (rear) to span a wide range of vehicle wheelbases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pgs-highlight-item\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 class=\"icon-clearfloor\"\u003eClear-Floor Crossbar Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe Atlas A12 uses an overhead crossbar connecting the two columns rather than a floor-level base plate between them.

Velocity fuses are safety devices that automatically restrict hydraulic flow if a line ruptures or a cylinder fails during operation — limiting the rate of uncontrolled descent in the event of a hydraulic failure.
