Scissor lifts are versatile and space-efficient, allowing auto mechanics to perform repairs even in compact work areas. However, their specifications vary significantly based on size, make, and model, affecting weight capacity, lift height, and functionality. To ensure safety and efficiency, it is essential to carefully select an alignment scissor lift that meets your shop’s specific needs.
Alignment Scissor Lifts for Different Car Types
We offer alignment scissor lifts designed for sedans, SUVs, trucks, and vans, ensuring precise alignments for every vehicle type. Sedan lifts support 9,000-10,000 lbs., while SUV lifts accommodate up to 12,000 lbs. For trucks and vans, lifts with at least 16,000 lbs. capacity are recommended. Our lifts provide safety, efficiency, and space-saving benefits for auto shops.
Alignment Scissor Lifts for Sedans
There are low-rise, mid-rise, and full-size scissor lifts for sedans. Full-rise lifts are ideal because you’ll need to check a vehicle’s suspension and steering before you check tire alignment or align the tires. An alignment scissor lift for a sedan should be able to hold at least 9,000 to 10,000 lbs.
Alignment Scissor Lifts for SUVs
A good alignment scissor lift for an SUV should be able to hold at least 12,000 lbs. There are single lifts and double lifts available in this category, with the double lift able to hold a second vehicle weighing up to 9,000 lbs.
Alignment Scissor Lifts for Trucks & Vans
Alignment scissor lifts for vans and trucks can have a minimum weight limit of as low as 14,000 lbs. However, it’s best to purchase one with a minimum weight limit of 16,000 lbs. This is especially true if your shop does repair work on large commercial vehicles.
