The YATO YT-55565 lift adapter is a workshop tool designed to provide a stable interface between a service lift and vehicle contact points during lifting, servicing and repairs. Constructed from steel with black and red finish elements, the adapter is intended to position and support vehicle components safely while technicians perform maintenance tasks. With a rated maximum load of 680 kg and a net weight of 5.3 kg, the adapter balances strength and manageable handling for frequent use in a professional garage environment.

Advantages

The adapter offers a compact, robust design that facilitates precise placement on vehicle jacking or lift points. Its steel construction ensures structural integrity under rated load, while the colored finishes assist with visual placement and durability against workshop wear. At a weight of 5.3 kg the tool is portable enough for routine repositioning yet heavy enough to remain stable during lift operations. The clear maximum load rating helps maintenance staff adhere to safe lifting practices.

Suitable for

• Positioning and supporting vehicle components on two-post and four-post service lifts
• Routine maintenance tasks such as brake, suspension and underbody work
• Workshops and service stations that require durable lift accessories
• Use when a precise contact interface between lift arm and vehicle chassis or jacking point is needed

Key specifications

• Maximum load capacity: 680 kg
• Net weight: 5.3 kg
• Primary material: steel construction with protective finishes
• Finish: combination of black and red painted/coated surfaces and exposed steel
• Function: lift adapter / contact interface for vehicle service lifts

How to use

Place the adapter on the lift arm or pad so that its contact surface aligns with the vehicle's specified lifting point. Ensure the lift is on stable, level ground and follow the lift manufacturer's procedures to raise the vehicle slowly while observing for secure seating of the adapter. Confirm the vehicle remains balanced and that the adapter remains firmly positioned before performing any service work. Lower the vehicle only after verifying that tools and personnel are clear of the lift area.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the adapter before each use for signs of deformation, cracks, excessive wear or paint damage that could indicate compromised strength. Do not exceed the 680 kg rated load. Use the adapter only on appropriate lift points as specified by the vehicle manufacturer and the lift's operating manual. Store the adapter in a dry place to reduce corrosion and keep it clean of oil and debris to maintain reliable contact surfaces.
