Challenger 14K Alignment Scissor Lift Flush Mount #SX14-FLUSH
A surface-mount alignment lift in a bay with a rolling-jack workflow means ramps, trip edges, and a floor that never stays clean. The SX14-FLUSH is the flush-mount answer: a 14,000 lb single-scissor alignment lift that sits at floor level, delivering full alignment capability with a clean floor when the lift is down.
With 25.5 in. wide runways, a 183 in. maximum wheelbase, locking alignment turnplates, and a package that includes two rolling jacks, turn plates, and an airline kit for dual jack operation, it is a complete alignment bay in one flush-mounted platform.
Who the SX14-FLUSH Is Built For
- Alignment shops that want a clean floor — flush mount means no ramps, no trip edges, and full use of the bay when the lift is down.
- Service centers handling various vehicle types within the 14,000 lbs rating and 183 in. maximum wheelbase.
- Shops servicing dual rear wheel vehicles — the extra-wide 25.5 in. runways are built for them.
- Buyers who want the complete package: two rolling jacks, adjustable turn plates, and the airline kit for dual jack operation are included.
- Teams comparing flush-mount against a 4-post alignment rack like the AR44018AR.
What the SX14-FLUSH Is NOT Built For
This is not the right choice when your vehicle weights exceed 14,000 lbs, your wheelbase exceeds 183 in., or your floor cannot take a recessed flush-mount pit. If you are close on any spec, compare it with Challenger 18K 4-Post Alignment Rack Package #AR44018AR or call Alamo.
Important sizing note: The SX14-FLUSH publishes 14,000 lbs capacity, 183 in. maximum wheelbase, and a 14' x 28' minimum recommended bay. Measure the bay and confirm the exact vehicle mix before purchase.
What Makes the SX14-FLUSH Different
Flush-Mount, Clean-Floor Operation
Flush mount puts the lift at floor level: vehicles roll across a flat floor, techs walk a flat floor, and the bay stays usable when the lift is down. That matters for alignment bays doubling as general service space — and it is the whole reason to choose flush over surface mount.
- Confirm your floor can take the recessed pit before ordering.
- Check drainage and concrete condition around the pit zone.
- Ask Alamo to compare the surface-mount workflow if a pit is a problem.
- Keep the install team involved before the bay is committed.
Alignment Package Included
The kit includes two rolling jacks, adjustable turn plates, and an airline kit for dual jack operation — the hardware that turns a lift into an alignment bay is in the box, not on an accessories list. Locking alignment turnplates hold settings through repeated cycles.
Extra-Wide Runways
The 25.5" runways accommodate single and dual rear wheel vehicles, with 40" between runways and a 183" maximum wheelbase — the geometry that matters when a dually pickup is the alignment customer.
Precision and Safety Features
A photo cell ensures runway synchronization, twin hydraulic cylinders provide smooth operation, and the automatic light feature illuminates the underside of the vehicle and turns off below 18". Maintenance-reduced rear slip plates use oversized, encapsulated bearings against debris.
Power and Air Coordination
The published requirements are a 3HP motor on 208-240v, 1 Phase (23 FLA) and 90 - 120 psi filtered/lubricated air at 20 CFM. Have a licensed electrician confirm the circuit and confirm the air supply before installation day.
Service After the Sale
Alamo installs and services the lifts we sell, so the same team that helps size the SX14-FLUSH can support the lift after it is in the bay.

Not Ideal For
- Floors that cannot take a recessed flush-mount pit

❓ Frequently Asked Questions - SX14-FLUSH
What is included with the SX14-FLUSH package?
The package includes two rolling jacks, adjustable (locking) turn plates, and an airline kit for dual jack operation — the alignment hardware ships with the lift.
Does the SX14-FLUSH require a pit?
Yes — flush mount installs into a recessed pit per the Challenger installation manual, which is what gives the bay a clean floor when the lift is down. A surface-mount workflow is available on the standard SX14 if a pit is not possible.
Will the SX14-FLUSH fit my bay?
Measure against the 14' x 28' minimum recommended bay, the 183" maximum wheelbase, and your ceiling — flush-mount scissor lifts run low, so overhead clearance is rarely the constraint. Alamo can verify the measurements with you before you order.
Why Buy the SX14-FLUSH from Alamo Equipment & Service?
- We install it. Alamo coordinates pit prep, anchors, and wiring for the SX14-FLUSH — flush mounts are an install job, not a delivery.
- We service it. If the lift needs attention after install, call the same equipment team.
- We size it with you. Flush mount is a permanent floor commitment — we verify the bay, pit requirements, and air before you order.
- Freight handled. Alamo coordinates freight delivery so you are not chasing carriers.
- Expert comparison help. If a 4-post alignment rack like the AR44018AR fits your vehicle mix better, Alamo will tell you before you buy.
