Scissor ALI Certified FAQs

ALI certification means the specific model was independently tested by an accredited third-party laboratory to the ANSI/ALI ALCTV standard and carries a current Gold Label. It is independent verification rather than a manufacturer's own claim.

Many commercial insurance carriers, dealership programs, and compliance-audited facilities require ALI certified lifts. A non-certified lift may be well built, but it carries no independent documentation, which creates a gap if coverage or a program audit depends on it.

ALI certified scissor lifts from Hofmann and Challenger, including alignment-capable and flush-mount configurations, spanning a capacity range from the mid-teens up into the 40,000 lb class. Both surface-mount and flush-mount installations are represented, so the collection covers both straightforward retrofits and bays being built out with recessed lifts.

ALI certifies a specific model and capacity combination, not a manufacturer's entire range. Two lifts from the same brand are not both certified simply because one is. Verify certification for the exact model and capacity you are buying rather than relying on the brand's general reputation.

Yes — ALI maintains a public online directory at autolift.org where any lift can be checked by manufacturer and model at no cost. Alamo provides certification documentation with certified lift orders, and models that lose certification are removed from this collection on notification.

That's correct. Proper installation by a qualified technician is required to maintain certification. An improperly installed lift, even a Gold Label model, can lose certification standing and void the manufacturer's warranty. Alamo coordinates installation through its certified installer network.

Certified models generally carry a higher price than uncertified equivalents, reflecting the testing program and the build standards behind it. For shops where insurance or program compliance requires certification, uncertified lifts are not a comparable option regardless of price.
