✔ 16,000 lb Capacity — Heavy-Duty Commercial Range
At 16,000 lbs, the NT-16 handles the full range of heavy full-size pickups, large SUVs, cargo vans, and light commercial vehicles that push past the rated capacity of a standard commercial two-post. If the vehicles coming through the bay regularly exceed what an 11,000 lb lift can carry, the NT-16 is built for that working range.
✔ 120-Inch Overall Height — Floor-Plate Design for Lower Ceilings
The NT-16 stands 120 inches overall — significantly lower than the 145-inch overhead two-post range. Its floor-plate design routes the synchronising cables and hydraulic hoses through a connecting bar at floor level between the columns rather than across an overhead beam. A garage that cannot take a full-height overhead two-post can often take the NT-16. Measure your ceiling against 120 inches plus the roof of your tallest vehicle at full lift height before ordering.
✔ Electrical Override with Automatic Safety Shutoff
An electrical override automatic safety shutoff is built into the NT-16's control system — carriage travel stops automatically before reaching the top of its range. Combined with the single-point safety release and dual safety design, the NT-16 does not rely on a single mechanism to hold 16,000 lbs.
✔ Single-Point Safety Release — Dual Safety Design
A single-point release disengages both column locks from one location — no walking around a loaded lift to reach a second lever. The dual safety design provides a secondary layer of protection behind the primary locks. On a lift carrying 16,000 lbs, that redundancy matters.
✔ Symmetric Four-Arm Configuration — Stackable Adapters in Three Heights
Four symmetric lifting arms with rubber lift pads handle the full range of vehicles through the same bay. Stackable adapters in 1.5-inch, 3-inch, and 6-inch heights ship in the box at no extra charge — raise the contact point to reach the lift points on heavy full-size pickups, large SUVs, and higher-clearance vehicles without improvising.
✔ 20" x 20" Base Plates — Maximum Anchor Distribution
Each column sits on a 20 x 20-inch base plate — the largest of any two-post in our Triumph range. Larger base plates spread the 16,000 lb anchor load across more of the slab. Confirm your concrete meets Triumph's installation manual requirements before ordering.
✔ 7-Inch Lowered Height — Note for Low-Profile Vehicles
The NT-16 has a 7-inch lowered arm height — higher than the 4.5-inch lowered height of the NT-9 and NT-11. Most standard passenger cars, full-size pickups, and SUVs clear the arms at 7 inches. Very low-profile sports cars and vehicles with front lips should be measured against this figure before ordering.
✔ 40-Second Lift Time on 220V AC, 3 HP
The NT-16 completes a full lift cycle in approximately 40 seconds on a 220V AC, 3 HP single-phase power unit. Confirm your garage has a suitable 220V supply before delivery — book the electrician before the lift arrives, not after.
✔ ISO 9001 Manufactured and CE Certified
The NT-16 is manufactured in ISO 9001 certified facilities and carries CE conformity as stated by Triumph — independently verified quality standards for a lift rated at 16,000 lbs.
