Challenger 15,000 lb 4-Post Alignment Lift — Closed Front, Alignment-Ready
A shop quoting new alignment equipment often runs into vague spec sheets — "alignment-ready" without a published wheelbase number for 2-wheel or 4-wheel alignment work. That makes it hard to know if the lift will actually handle your customer mix until it's on the floor and you're finding out the hard way.
The Challenger AR4115EAX publishes real numbers: 167.75" max 2-wheel alignment wheelbase and 68"-158" for 4-wheel alignment, in the most compact footprint of the AR4115 family (14' x 24' bay, 247.625" overall length). It pairs the standard alignment kit — turnplates, slip plates, rolling jacks — with a closed front for structural rigidity, in the smallest bay footprint of any Alignment-Ready 4115 variant.
Who the AR4115EAX Is Built For
- A shop that wants a published, verifiable alignment wheelbase spec (167.75" 2-wheel, 68"-158" 4-wheel) rather than a vague "alignment-ready" claim with no numbers to check against their customer mix.
- An alignment center with a standard-depth bay (14' x 24') that needs the full turnplate/slip-plate/rolling-jack kit without the extra floor space the extended XAX/XAO variants require.
- A shop that wants the structural rigidity of a closed-front column while running dedicated 4-wheel alignment work at or near rated capacity.
- A commercial or fleet operation consolidating a separate alignment rack and standalone lift into one integrated 15,000 lb platform in the most compact bay footprint available in this family.
- A dealership service department that needs to confirm exact alignment coverage against specific vehicle models before committing floor space to new equipment.
- A shop in a high-humidity or road-salt region considering the optional galvanized coating to protect the integrated alignment hardware and runways over years of daily alignment volume.
What the AR4115EAX Is NOT Built For
If your longest vehicles push past the 167.75"/158" alignment wheelbase limits, the AR4115XAX extends 2-wheel alignment coverage to 195.25" in the same closed-front, alignment-ready configuration. And if your shop doesn't run dedicated alignments, the base 4115EFX covers the same footprint without the alignment-kit cost.
What Makes the AR4115EAX Different
Galvanized Coating Upgrade Available
A lift running dedicated alignment work every day puts constant wear on runways, jack rails, turn plate pockets, and slip plate pockets. The optional galvanized coating protects those contact points from corrosion in coastal, humid, or road-salt regions, adding years to the parts that see the most traffic on a high-volume alignment lift. Ask Alamo before ordering if your shop runs in a harsh-climate area.
All-New 22" Wide Runways
The AR4115EAX's 22.375" runways give techs stable footing while working around the integrated turnplates and slip plates, and give a wider range of vehicles more surface during loading — useful on a lift cycling through alignments all day.
Open and Closed Front Configurations
The EAX pairs the alignment kit with a closed front for added structural rigidity — a real factor on a lift running near-capacity alignment work daily. If open-front access matters more for your workflow, the AR4115EAO pairs the same alignment kit with an open front in the same footprint.
Improved 4-Wheel Alignment Wheelbase
The published 167.75" 2-wheel and 68"-158" 4-wheel alignment wheelbase specs mean you can confirm exact vehicle coverage before ordering, instead of guessing based on a generic "alignment-ready" label. That's a real range covering most passenger cars and light trucks without swapping equipment.
Louvered Approach Ramps
On a lift running dedicated alignment work all day, the approach ramps see constant traffic. Louvered ramps hold their grip better over time than diamond tread or abrasive strip designs, keeping wheel spin down and loading confident even after years of heavy alignment-bay use.
- Alignment Kit Included: Rolling jacks, internal airline system, and stainless steel turn plates included — ready for wheel alignment work out of the box
- Closed-front 4-post alignment lift with turnplates and slip plates, standard length applications
- Shops needing 15,000 lbs certified alignment capacity
- Facilities with at least 14' x 24' of bay space
- General repair bays without dedicated alignment volume
- Shops with bay space below 14' x 24'
