AMGO 7,000 lb Portable Single Post Car Lift | SML-7

Move Power Wherever You Need It. AMGO SML-7 Portable Single-Post Lift Handles 7,000 lbs with Ease

Many shops and home garages struggle to find a lift thats both powerful and easy to move. Often ending up with bulky equipment that hogs precious floor space. The AMGOSML-7 fixes that by packing a 7,000lb lifting capacity into a pallet-jack style chassis you can wheel anywhere. With AMGOs patented single-handle arm-lock release, one person can lock or unlock both arms in a single motion. So you stay focused on the job, not the gear. Portable single-post lifts add another dimension to the single-post category: mobility. Roll the lift between bays, into a side garage, or out for occasional service work. The SML-7 brings portability to the 7K capacity tier where most lifts default to permanent install.

The compact footprint slips into tight bays, while the dual-lock safety mechanism auto-engages every time you rise. Whether on 110V or 220V, the ETL-certified power unit lifts in 38s (220V) or 84s (110V), keeping workflows predictable. Self-lubricating UHMW sliders and bronze bushings minimize wear, and the included 3 adapters plus combo rubber pads protect vehicle pinch-welds. 7,000 lb capacity covers full-size sedans and most mid-size SUVs. Portable design with included casters means the lift goes where the work is, without sacrificing structural rating.

If you need a nimble lift that stores away when not in use, the SML-7s pallet-jack chassis wheels out of the way. No permanent anchors required. Its the ultimate solution for maximizing bay flexibility without sacrificing heavy-duty performance. For mobile mechanics, multi-bay shops where lift utilization matters, or owners with varied service needs, the SML-7 fits the workflow without forcing a permanent bay commitment.

The dual safety system holds the load on physical stops, not hydraulic pressure.Versatile Vehicle CoverageThe single-arm/swing-arm configuration accommodates sedans, mid-size SUVs, and most light trucks within the rated capacity.Lower Initial InvestmentSingle-post construction means lower steel content and lower shipping cost than 2-post or 4-post lifts.

*Concrete must meet the manufacturer’s minimum requirements as specified above. Installing this lift on inadequate concrete may result in serious injury or death. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify concrete thickness and strength prior to purchase and installation. Stacking taller vehicles vertically may require additional ceiling height. Measure your specific vehicles before ordering. Note: single-post lifts concentrate load through one column. Verify your concrete meets the manufacturer’s point-load requirements before installation.

AMGO SML-7 Frequently Asked Questions

How is the SML-7 different from the SL-7?

Mobility. Same 7,000 lb single-post lifting (to 77-13/16″ with adapters), but the SML-7 rides an integrated portable chassis — roll it between bays, across the shop, or out of the way entirely. The fixed SL-7 costs less if the lift never needs to move.

Does the SML-7 run on a normal home outlet?

Yes — the standard 1.0 HP motor runs on 110V (84-second rise), with a 2.0 HP 220V option cutting that to 38 seconds.

Will my truck fit on the SML-7?

The 7,000 lb capacity covers cars, crossovers, and most half-ton trucks, with a 90-3/8″ arm span and 3-7/16″ minimum pad height. Balance matters on a single post — position the arms per the manual for every vehicle.

Which AMGO space-saver is right for me?

This SML-7 is the portable full-height single post. Storage and parking instead of service? The SPL-6 stacks two vehicles on a platform. Prefer working at seated height with total side access? The MRP06 portable mid-rise is the scissor alternative.

Does a portable lift still need good concrete?

Yes — the chassis spreads the load, but you still need a flat slab at least 4″ thick in good condition. Position, lift, and set the safety locks before working.

Is the AMGO SML-7 worth it?

A full-height lift that moves where the work is, backed by AMGO’s 5-year structure / 3-year hydraulics / 2-year electrical warranty. See the Reviews tab above for buyer feedback, and our lift style guide if you’re comparing categories.
