Atlas PX16A — 16,000 lb Scissor Alignment Lift
A four-post alignment lift solves the alignment problem by eating the bay — 11-plus feet of column and runway whether the truck on it is a half-ton or a box truck. The Atlas PX16A is the narrow answer: a 16,000 lb stationary scissor alignment lift that stands 94 inches wide, rises to 71 1/2 inches, and four-wheel-aligns wheelbases from 96 to 184 inches on extra-long slip plates.
The turntables ship recessed and included, the runway rail takes an optional Atlas RJ8000BK rolling jack for wheel service, and the platform handles everything from passenger cars up to heavy-duty long-wheelbase trucks and vans. Freight prepaid on this part number.
Who the Atlas PX16A Is Built For
- Alignment bays where width is the constraint — at 94" overall, the PX16A fits where a four-post alignment platform (typically 11'+ of columns) simply doesn't.
- Shops aligning a wide vehicle mix — passenger cars through heavy-duty long-wheelbase trucks and vans, on a 16,000 lb rated platform with a 96"–184" wheelbase range.
- Low-ceiling alignment bays — the deck tops out at 71 1/2" above the floor, so shops that can't take a 4-post's column height can still run a real alignment line.
- Bays that want wheel service on the same platform — the runway jack rail accepts the Atlas RJ8000BK rolling bridge jack (optional), turning the alignment bay into a service bay between alignments.
- Shops already plumbed for it — 220V single-phase on a 30 amp breaker and 85–120 PSI external air for the mechanical safety locks.
What the Atlas PX16A Is NOT Built For
This is not a portable lift — the PX16A is a stationary, floor-mount/recessed-application platform, so a bay that needs the floor back should look at the 6MR mid-rise instead. It's also not for shops without compressed air (the safety locks are air-operated and require an exterior supply), not for anything over 16,000 lbs, and not for drive-on storage use.
Important sizing note: measure bay width (94"), ceiling against the 71 1/2" maximum rise plus vehicle, and confirm wheelbase (96"–184" alignment range) and loaded weight before purchase.
What Makes the Atlas PX16A Different
The narrow alignment platform
94 inches of overall width with a 206 1/2-inch runway (271 with ramps) — alignment capability sized for real bays, not ideal ones.
- 94" overall width
- 206 1/2" runway (271" w/ ramps)
- 16,000 lb capacity
Alignment package included
Turntables ship recessed and included, with extra-long slip plates that four-wheel-align wheelbases from 96 to 184 inches.
Safety kit built for HD duty
Air-operated mechanical safety locks (exterior supply required), an emergency manual pump for lowering, an overload valve, and a lowering speed valve — the redundancy a 16K load deserves.
Best For
- Narrow-bay alignment shops
- Passenger cars through HD trucks
- Low-ceiling alignment bays
- RJ8000BK jack rail for wheel service
Not Ideal For
- Portable needs (see Atlas 6MR)
- Shops without compressed air
- Vehicles over 16,000 lbs
Atlas PX16A vs Atlas 414A — two ways to build an alignment bay
| Spec | Atlas PX16A (Scissor) | Atlas 414A (4-Post) |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 16,000 lbs | 14,000 lbs |
| Overall width | 94" | 138 7/8" w/ motor |
| Max rise | 71 1/2" | 80" |
| Wheelbase range | 96"–184" | up to 197" |
| Drive on | Ramps onto runways | Drive-on runways, no ramps |
| Air required | 85–120 PSI (locks) | 85–115 PSI (lock release) |
The PX16A buys width and capacity in a low package; the 414A buys drive-on convenience and bridge-jack service at a wider footprint.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions - Atlas PX16A
Why does the PX16A need shop air?
The mechanical safety locks are air-operated and require an 85–120 PSI exterior supply — it's how a 16,000 lb load gets redundant, positive lock holding. No shop air means no lift.
Are the turntables included?
Yes — the turntables ship with the lift in recessed positions, and the extra-long slip plates four-wheel-align wheelbases from 96 to 184 inches.
What vehicles fit on it?
Everything from passenger cars up to heavy-duty long-wheelbase trucks and vans, at a 16,000 lb rating — verify loaded weight and wheelbase before ordering.
Can I do wheel service on it too?
Yes — the runway rail takes an optional Atlas RJ8000BK rolling bridge jack, so the alignment bay doubles as a service bay.
