Triumph NTR-16 16,000 lb Four Post Auto Lift

What the NTR-16 is built to lift

The NTR-16 is a four-post drive-on lift rated at 16,000 lbs, which puts full-size pickups, commercial vans and loaded light commercial vehicles inside its working range rather than at the edge of it. Maximum lifting height is 74.4 inches, so most adults have standing-room clearance underneath for exhaust, driveline and suspension work. The runways are 224.5 inches long and 20 inches wide, giving enough surface for long-wheelbase trucks and vans. Minimum runway height is 7.5 inches, so low-clearance vehicles can drive on without dragging. Spacing between the runways adjusts from 42.5 to 46.4 inches, which means narrow-track cars and wider-track trucks both line up on the same lift without a spotter-and-shuffle routine every time the vehicle changes.

Fitting it in your bay

Plan the bay around the overall footprint, not the runway size. The NTR-16 measures 161 inches wide overall and 235 inches long without the approach ramps; with the ramps attached, overall length grows to 273.9 inches. Overall height is 88.7 inches, so the ceiling has to clear that figure before the lift goes up, plus additional room for the vehicle itself once it is raised. Width between the columns is 134.2 inches, and that is the number that matters for door swing and for walking a toolbox between the posts. Measure your actual usable bay — wall to wall, and floor to the lowest obstruction such as a garage door track, light fixture or unit heater — against those figures before you order.

Power, hydraulics and locks

Electrical service is 220 volt single phase, the same service most North American shops already have at the bay, so there is no three-phase requirement. The power unit is a 3.0 kW ALU-motor design with a metal hydraulic tank. Holding is mechanical: twelve lock positions along the column ladders let you park the lift at the working height you actually want rather than the nearest approximation, which matters when you are matching a transmission jack or a bench height. Lock release is pneumatic through four air cylinders, one per column, so all four columns release together from a single handle instead of a walk-around. Because the release is pneumatic, plan on shop air reaching the lift in addition to the electrical circuit.

Freight, unloading and what is included

The NTR-16 ships LTL on a common carrier and arrives on a 48-foot semi truck, with a shipping weight of 3,112 lbs and shipping dimensions of 234" x 23" x 43". Unloading is your responsibility — the driver does not unload it, and lift-gate delivery is not available on auto lifts of this class. You will need machinery rated for the full shipping weight; a forklift, bobcat, tractor, tow truck or backhoe all work. If a freight truck cannot reach your address, the lift can be routed to the carrier's nearest freight terminal for pickup with a trailer or moving van. The freight company calls you to schedule the appointment. Rolling bridge jacks are not included with the lift.
