The Apex AL10CS is a two-post clearfloor hoist with 4,500 kg of lifting capacity and nothing on the floor between the columns. It brings commercial-grade engineering to the single-bay workshop and the serious home shed alike – built and certified for Australian conditions, and running on standard 240 V single-phase power.

The overhead box-beam design keeps the floor completely clear, so oil drains, transmission jacks and tool trolleys move straight through with nothing to drive around or trip over. At 3,759 mm overall height it suits a workshop or high-clearance double shed with around 4 m of ceiling, and symmetric and asymmetric arm positioning handles everything from a low performance car to the daily driver.
