APlusLift AL-12A — 11,000 lbs 4-Post commercial-grade alignment lift
Alignment techs lose money every time a car sits on a general-service lift waiting for a dedicated alignment bay to open up. Shops running steady alignment volume need a rack built specifically for that job — turn plates in place, a sliding jack ready to go, and a bay layout that doesn't force a tech to improvise with wheel dollies and floor jacks.
The APlusLift AL-12A is a 11,000 lbs 4-post commercial-grade alignment lift built around exactly that workflow. Two alignment turn plate tables and a 6,000 lb sliding jack ship standard, so the rack is ready for 2- and 4-wheel alignment work the day it's installed — no separate turn plate purchase, no waiting on a jack order. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 for details on fit, install, and pricing.
Who the AL-12A Is Built For
- Alignment shops running back-to-back 2- and 4-wheel jobs on cars, SUVs, and light-duty trucks up to 11,000 lbs, where a dedicated alignment rack keeps the bay moving instead of tying up a general-service lift
- Shops that want turn plates and a sliding jack bundled into the base price so a tech can roll a vehicle on and start the alignment sequence immediately, without hunting down separate turn plate hardware
- Tire and service centers adding a standalone alignment bay for the first time and wanting the turn plates, sliding jack, and approach ramps included rather than priced as add-ons
- Facilities replacing a lift that's over 20 years old with a design that has roughly 30 years of field history behind the same platform
- Shops that need 14 locking positions for precise ride-height and suspension work during the alignment process, not just a basic raise-and-hold rack
- Multi-bay shops standardizing on one alignment lift across technicians so every bay works the same way and training stays simple
What the AL-12A Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Shops needing more than 11,000 lbs of capacity for heavier trucks or fleet vehicles
- ❌ Facilities wanting an open-center scissor layout instead of a traditional 4-post configuration

What Makes the AL-12A Different
11,000 lbs of Rated Capacity, 72" of Working Rise
The AL-12A handles cars, SUVs, and light-duty trucks up to 11,000 lbs — enough range to cover the vast majority of alignment work that comes through a general-service shop. A 72" lift height puts the underside of the vehicle at a comfortable working position for suspension inspection and adjustment, so techs aren't crouching or working blind during the alignment sequence.
14 Locking Positions Built for Precise Alignment Work
The AL-12A locks in 14 different positions, with 2 alignment turn plate tables and a 6,000 lb sliding jack included standard. That combination lets a tech set the vehicle at the exact height needed for suspension adjustments, rotate the front wheels freely on the turn plates during toe and camber checks, and reposition the vehicle mid-job with the sliding jack — all without leaving the rack or bringing in separate shop equipment.
Power, Floor, and Ceiling Requirements
The AL-12A runs on 220V single-phase power (2.5kW or 3.5HP, 10A, with a 30A breaker recommended) and needs a 4" minimum concrete floor rated at 3,000 PSI. Overall height is 87 1/2" — confirm your bay clearance with Alamo before ordering so install day doesn't turn into a ceiling-clearance surprise.
Atlas Build Quality Backed by a Real Warranty
The AL-12A carries Atlas's 3-year structural / 1-year parts warranty, giving a shop real coverage on the components that matter most during years of daily alignment cycles. Warranty service runs through Alamo — call (844) 480-6059 for any claim or service question, so a shop is never stuck waiting on a manufacturer call center.
A Bay Footprint That Fits Most Alignment Bays
Overall width is 130" with 113" of drive-thru clearance between runways — enough room for a tech to walk the vehicle on confidently without threading a needle. Confirm these dimensions against your bay before ordering; Alamo will walk through the numbers with you so there are no surprises on install day.
