XK (XINKONG USA) builds three separate lines of repair-shop equipment: fully automatic A/C refrigerant recovery machines, clear-floor 2-post car lifts, and tire changer/balancer combos — sold factory-direct from a 300,000 sq ft Texas warehouse.
Feature highlights pulled directly from XK's own equipment specifications across all three product lines.
Recovery, vacuum test and recharge run from the AC980/AC900's 10.1" touchscreen in sequence — no manually opening and closing valves between steps.
XK's separation and regeneration technology deep-cleans reclaimed refrigerant so it comes back out filtered, with no impurities left behind.
The L1000 lift leaves the floor between the posts completely open, so a full-size truck or SUV can be driven straight through.
Automatic arm-lock restraints and an overload relief valve are built into every XK 2-post lift, not sold as an add-on.
XK's tire changer combos free up both hands during mounting and demounting instead of relying on a single hand lever.
XINKONG USA ships from its own McKinney, TX warehouse rather than drop-shipping individual orders overseas.
Two fully automatic A/C service stations split by refrigerant standard — the AC980 for 1234YF systems and the AC900 for R-134A systems. Both are new listings with no reviews yet, so there's no Testimonials section for this category — real specs and features only, nothing invented.
The AC980 is XK's fully automatic service station for 1234YF A/C systems, covering standard fuel vehicles, hybrids and new-energy (EV) platforms in one machine. A 10.1" touchscreen walks a technician through system flush, refrigerant recovery, vacuum testing and recharge without manually juggling valves, while an independent oil module keeps PAG and UV oil on their own pipelines and solenoid valves so the two never cross-contaminate. A built-in dryer and filter clean the refrigerant during recovery, and the whole cycle logs to a built-in SD database with one-click printed service reports for shop record-keeping.
The AC900 runs the same fully automatic recovery, vacuum and recharge cycle as the AC980, built instead for R-134A systems found on standard fuel vehicles and earlier-model hybrids. It shares the 10.1" touchscreen control, independent oil module, built-in dryer/filter and printer/database logging of the AC980 — the difference between the two machines is strictly which refrigerant they're plumbed and calibrated for, not the feature set. Pick this model if the vehicles coming through your bay are still running R-134A rather than the newer 1234YF standard.

A closer look at the control panel and build shared across the AC980 and AC900.
Two analog gauges flank a 10.1" touchscreen that drives the entire recovery-vacuum-recharge sequence — select the service, connect the hoses, and the machine runs the cycle instead of a technician switching valves by hand.
A built-in thermal printer logs each service for shop records, dedicated new/used oil cylinders keep the independent oil module's fill levels visible at a glance, and a ventilated rear grille plus a clearly marked power isolator round out the cabinet.
Every function — system flush, recovery, vacuum test, recharge — sits behind a single icon-driven touchscreen menu, built to be readable and operable with a gloved hand in a working bay.
Clear-floor 2-post lifts with a double-point safety lock, sold across five capacity steps from 9,000 to 15,000 lbs. The L1000 (10,000 lbs) shown below is the best-reviewed model in the lineup and the one we cover in full detail.
The L1000 is XK's clear-floor 2-post lift rated for 10,000 lbs — no floor-mounted crossbar to work around, so a full-size truck or SUV can be driven straight in from either end. A 220V, 3HP motor drives the lift through a double-point safety lock with automatic arm-lock restraints, a relief valve built into the power pump to prevent overloading, and rubber up-limit switches that protect the cylinders at the top of the stroke. Heavy-duty 5/16" cable over a 4.56" pulley reduces synchronization stress between the two posts, and a 5/8"-thick stiffened base plate with a self-lubricating nylon slider keeps the carriage moving smoothly through its full 70.87" lift height.
| Load Capacity | 10,000 lbs |
| Max Lift Height | 70.87 in |
| Motor | 220V, 60Hz, 1PH, 3HP |
| Recommended Breaker | 30A minimum |
| Hydraulic Oil | 3-5 gal, AW32/AW46 |
| Safety Lock | Double-point automatic arm-lock |
| Shipping Weight | 1,360 lbs (freight, forklift/tractor to unload) |
| Customer Rating | 4.3★ (130 ratings) |
XK sells this same clear-floor 2-post design across five capacity steps. The L1000 above is the best-reviewed of the lineup; the others share its core safety mechanism and control system, scaled up for heavier vehicles.

| L2900 | 9,000 lbs | 4.4★ (99) |
| L1000 / L1100 | 10,000 lbs | 4.3★ (130) |
| 1150 | 11,500 lbs | New/limited reviews |

The hardware behind the safety mechanism and adjustability XK lists on every 2-post model.
The motor, pump and oil reservoir mount directly to the column as one sealed unit, with a built-in relief valve that stops the pump from overloading the system and a marked power switch at arm's reach.
Two-section support arms extend 29.92"-47.24" to match different wheelbases, and four included 4.92" height-raising kits adapt the contact pads to vehicles with lower ground clearance — a double oil pipe keeps both lift cylinders synchronized.
XK publishes the L1000's full footprint up front — 129.92" overall width, 107.9" between columns, 106.3" overall height and a 76.77" maximum lifting height — so you can confirm ceiling clearance and bay width before the freight truck shows up.
Amazon's own AI-generated review summary for the L1000 — individual review text is sign-in-gated, so this is the real aggregate rather than invented quotes.
Customers are super impressed with the quality of the car lift and find it to be an excellent value. The installation is easy and the lift performs well, with one customer mentioning it easily lifts their large Toyota Tundra. The build quality receives mixed feedback, with some saying it's well constructed while others find it cheaply made. The installation instructions are also mixed, with some finding them pretty self-explanatory while others report incomplete ones.
Matched changer/balancer pairs built around the same SBM-690 balancer, sized for different wheel ranges. The 580-690 is XK's best-reviewed piece of equipment on Amazon; the 960-690 steps up the clamp range for larger wheels.
The 580-690 pairs XK's SBM-580 tire changer with the SBM-690 wheel balancer as a single 110V combo built for shops running smaller-to-mid-size wheels. A dual-turntable foot pedal keeps both hands free while mounting or demounting, a 5,600 lb pneumatic bead breaker handles stuck beads without extra tools, and the balancer covers standard dynamic, static, ALU 1-3 and motorcycle modes with ±1g accuracy. It's XK's best-reviewed piece of shop equipment on Amazon and the lowest-priced way into a matched changer/balancer pair.
The 960-690 steps up the clamping range for shops working on larger wheels — the same SBM-690 balancer paired with a changer rated for a wider inside clamp and a bigger maximum wheel diameter than the 580-690. It keeps the same professional assist arm, bead blaster and 110V single-phase setup, just sized for the bigger end of the passenger and light-truck wheel range.
| XK 580-690 | XK 960-690 | |
|---|---|---|
| Customer Rating | 4.6★ (165) | 4.0★ (47) |
| Outer Clamp Range | 10"-18" | 10"-20" |
| Inner Clamp Range | 13"-21" | 13"-24" |
| Max Wheel Diameter | 940 mm (37 in) | 1040 mm (41 in) |
| Dismounting Tire Width | 3"-13" | 3"-14" |
| Total Weight (changer + balancer) | 412 + 236 lbs | 577 + 236 lbs |
Component-level details from XK's own comparison chart against cheaper tire-changer copies, plus the shared SBM-690 balancer.
XK's own comparison chart calls out the specific parts it upgrades over lower-cost copies: a round (not square) column for less deformation under load, a 40A motor switch instead of a 16-32A one, a premium lubricator rated to 26.46 lb of pressure, and an electrophoresis-coated cylinder and end caps against rust — the kind of detail that shows up as longevity, not on a spec sheet.
A second assist arm helps hold stubborn beads down during mounting instead of fighting the tire by hand, and a three-stage air filter/regulator/lubricator unit conditions shop air before it reaches the bead breaker cylinder — protecting the seals from the moisture that shortens a cheaper unit's life.
Every combo ships with the centering cones, spacers and quick-release wing nut needed to balance a range of bolt patterns out of the box, running standard dynamic, static, ALU 1-3 and motorcycle modes at ±1g accuracy.
