A vehicle hoist is one of the best ‘quality of life’ upgrades you can make to your home shed or professional workshop.

  • Double your vehicle storage capacity

  • Dramatically expand your usable workspace

  • Make maintenance, repairs and modifications faster, easier and safer.

From routine servicing to major mechanical projects, a hoist transforms what you can achieve in your own workshop — while saving time, effort and frustration.

MY HERO HOISTS 9XL HOIST

The Hero Hoists Lift King 9XL is a seriously versatile four-post hoist, equally at home storing vehicles or making mechanical maintenance and repairs dramatically easier. With a four-tonne lifting capacity, generous runway dimensions and more than two metres of drive-under clearance, it's particularly well suited to larger vehicles, including 4WDs and vans.

It's also freestanding, portable and runs on domestic 240V power, making installation relatively straightforward. Add robust mechanical safety locks, a rolling jacking tray and the option of jacking beams for wheels-free servicing, and you've got a practical, flexible solution for transforming the capabilities of your home workshop.

A Practical, Affordable Hoist for Your Workshop

The Hero Hoists Lift King 9XL delivers outstanding versatility at a highly competitive price. It runs on standard 240V single-phase household power, so there's no need for an expensive three-phase electrical upgrade. And while competent DIY enthusiasts can tackle assembly themselves, professional installation can also be arranged.

For home workshop enthusiasts, a four-post hoist offers some important advantages. The vehicle sits securely on its wheels, supported by four runways and posts, substantially reducing the risk of incorrect vehicle positioning and the potentially dangerous fore-and-aft imbalance associated with two-post hoists. Two-post designs certainly have their place — they're the preferred choice of many professional mechanics because of their excellent access to wheels, suspension and underbody components — but a four-post hoist can be a particularly reassuring and practical option for home users.

Flexible Jacking Options for More Versatile Servicing

One of the great advantages of the 9XL is the range of jacking arrangements available. A transverse jacking trolley spans the two runways, providing a movable platform for positioning a suitable jack beneath the vehicle. You can use a conventional hydraulic jack or opt for an air-over-hydraulic jacking system, which takes much of the physical effort out of lifting. Depending on your requirements, you can configure the hoist with one or two jacking arrangements, allowing you to lift either end of the vehicle — or both ends simultaneously — clear of the runways. This adds enormous flexibility for jobs involving wheels, brakes, suspension and other maintenance that requires the vehicle's wheels to be unloaded. It's another example of how a four-post hoist can be configured to suit your particular workshop needs.

And remember, the 9XL is just one option in the Hero Hoists range. There are numerous other models, configurations and lifting capacities available to suit different vehicles, workshop dimensions, budgets and applications.
