Triumph NTR-32C 32,000 lb Four Post Auto Lift

What the NTR-32C is built to lift

The NTR-32C is rated at 32,000 lbs, which puts it in the class of lift used for buses, box trucks, motorhomes, dual-rear-wheel pickups, tow trucks, fire apparatus and general Class 5–8 commercial work. Three numbers set the working envelope: the 32,000-lb rating, the 295.2-inch runway length, and the adjustable 48.75 to 52.7 inch spacing between runways. Width between columns is 139.2 inches, which is what decides whether a wide cab or a dual-rear-wheel truck clears the uprights on the way in. Before ordering, confirm the heaviest vehicle you plan to raise sits comfortably under the rating rather than at it, and that the runway length covers your longest wheelbase end to end. Adjustable runway spacing means you are not stuck living with one fixed track width across a mixed fleet.

Runways, ramps and the lock system

The platform is flat, with diamond-plate runways and integrated approach ramps. Each runway is 24 inches wide and 295.2 inches long, and the deck sits at a 9-inch minimum runway height, so a long-wheelbase vehicle rolls up the ramps and onto the deck in a single pass. Maximum lifting height is 70.8 inches, which is standing room under most of what this lift is meant to hold rather than crouching room. There are 9 lock positions, so the vehicle can be staged at the height that suits the job instead of taking whatever the top of travel gives you. Lock release is pneumatic through four air cylinders, one at every column, so all four locks disengage in unison rather than one corner at a time. Safety hardware listed by the supplier includes a cable break-proof device, parachute valve and anti-falling wheel stopper.

Power and bay requirements

Power is 220-volt single-phase service driving a 4.0 kW ALU motor with a metal hydraulic tank. Confirm that service is present at the bay before the lift arrives, since it is the requirement most likely to hold up an installation. For space, work from three dimensions. Overall height is 93.1 inches, so the ceiling has to clear that plus the tallest vehicle you intend to raise. The footprint is 344.6 inches long with the approach ramps in place, 305.5 inches without them, and 168.7 inches wide. Lay that out in the bay with safe walk-around clearance on all sides before committing to the purchase. Runway spacing is adjustable between 48.75 and 52.7 inches after installation, but the overall footprint and column positions are not, so measure once against the real bay rather than the nominal one.

Freight, unloading and what is not included

The lift ships LTL freight on a 48-foot semi-truck at a shipping weight of 9,037 lbs, crated to 301 x 30 x 43 inches. Unloading is the buyer's responsibility: the driver does not unload it, and lift-gate delivery is not available for an auto lift of this size and weight. It cannot be moved by hand, so plan on a forklift, skid-steer, tractor, tow truck or backhoe rated for the full 9,037 lbs. If that equipment is not available on site, the shipment can be routed to the carrier's nearest freight terminal for pickup with a trailer or moving van. Scheduling the delivery appointment with the freight carrier is also on the buyer. Note that the RJ5000 rolling bridge jack is a separate accessory and is not included in the lift price.
