Product Overview
Rotary Lift SPO12 Symmetrical Two Post Car Lift 12,000 lb Capacity
You can't find a better designed and better engineered 12,000-pound two post lift. The Rotary SPO12 is the lift of choice for dealers and independent repair shops that need exceptional capacity, greater safety, and versatility for today's taller, heavier vehicles. Due to its size, the SPO12 gives technicians a feeling of even greater safety when they're under a vehicle, while also providing more space between the columns for easier access and maneuvering.
Built around Rotary's legendary true symmetrical, single-piece "Double S" columns, this lift delivers rock-solid stability and performance. Its larger footprint makes it optimal for shops with larger bays, and it's specifically engineered to handle the demanding workload of modern trucks, SUVs, and passenger vehicles with confidence. The SPO12 is chosen by more professionals than any other lift in its category—and for good reason.
Available in Three Versatile Configurations
The SPO12 Series is available in three configurations to fit your shop's exact ceiling height and bay dimensions:
- SPO12-TA (Standard Model) 3-stage arms with truck adapters, 13' 8" overall height
- SPO12-LC (Low Ceiling Model) 3-stage arms with truck adapters, 11' 8" overall height for shops with limited ceiling clearance
- SPO12-W (Wide Model) 3-stage arms with truck adapters, 13' 11-1/2" overall height and 12' 10-5/8" overall width for extra-wide drive-thru clearance
All models come standard with front and rear three-stage arms and truck adapters with stackable inserts for added reach and flexibility. The SPO12X is ALI Certified for your peace of mind and compliance.
Key Highlights
- 12,000 lb capacity ideal for trucks, SUVs, and heavier passenger vehicles
- 75 3/4" to 78 1/8" rise (standard models) – ample working height for undercarriage access
- True symmetrical design with single-piece "Double S" columns for superior stability
- Three-stage arms with adjustable 27 1/2" to 59" reach front and rear
- Optional Shockwave™ technology available (Standard Model only) – doubles lifting speed with 5 HP motor, runs on 110V, includes Spotline™ laser for precise vehicle centering, and keeps working even during power outages
Optional Shockwave™ Technology – Accelerate Your Productivity
Dramatically accelerate productivity with Shockwave™ (available for the Standard Model only). Rotary's exclusive Shockwave™ technology produces cycle times that are twice as fast as standard lifts—reaching full rise in just 25 seconds instead of 60. With its Spotline™ laser that shoots down the hood and dash, centering and spotting a vehicle couldn't be easier.
Shockwave's patent-pending DC power system gives you lower cost and more reliable operation while using two standard Group 24 batteries. The built-in battery charger uses 110V power, eliminating the need for expensive 220V wiring and resulting in an installation savings of 80% or more. And if your shop loses power, Shockwave-equipped lifts keep working no downtime, no interruptions.
Designed for Your Shop's Success
The Rotary SPO12 is engineered to fit your shop's needs. With minimum bay sizes ranging from 12' x 26' to 14' x 26' (depending on model), and minimum ceiling heights from 11' 9" (Low Ceiling) to 14' 1/2" (Wide), there's an SPO12 configuration for nearly any professional bay.
Standard power is provided by a 2 HP, 208-230V single-phase motor, offering reliable performance and straightforward installation. The lift reaches full rise in 60 seconds (standard models), or just 25 seconds with the optional Shockwave™ upgrade and its 5 HP, 110V motor.
SPO12 lift colors come standard with your choice of red or blue, so you can match your shop's aesthetic or branding.
Trusted by Professionals Nationwide
The Rotary SPO12 is the lift of choice for dealerships, independent repair facilities, and serious automotive professionals who demand the best. Its true symmetrical design, robust 12,000 lb capacity, and available Shockwave™ technology make it the ultimate solution for high-volume, heavy-duty lifting.
Whether you're servicing modern trucks, SUVs, or passenger cars, the SPO12 delivers the reliability, safety, and performance you need to keep your shop running efficiently—day in and day out.
