Hofmann 14K Scissor Alignment Lift – Short Bay Surface Mount #EELR783APKG

Hofmann 14,000 lb Scissor Alignment Lift — Short Bay Surface Mount, Lights & Locks

A dim alignment bay makes it easy for a tech to miss a locked turnplate or misread a slip-plate position — small mistakes that show up later as inaccurate alignment numbers or a jammed plate mid-job. Shops running high alignment volume can't afford that kind of avoidable rework.

The Hofmann EELR783APKG is the Lights & Locks version of Hofmann's short-bay surface-mount 14,000 lb scissor alignment lift — same compact 256" footprint and surface-mount installation as the standard EELR785APKG, but with integrated work lighting over the runway and locking controls for the alignment plates built in. For shops that want the short-bay, no-pit-required footprint plus better visibility and plate control during the alignment itself, this is the configuration to order over the base EELR785APKG.

Who the EELR783APKG Is Built For

• High-volume alignment shops where technicians are working in dim bay lighting and need the Lights & Locks package to see turnplate and slip-plate positioning clearly on every job.
• Shops with a tight bay depth that also want the added plate-security controls — this pairs the short-bay footprint with integrated lighting and locking in one package.
• Facilities that can't do a flush-mount recessed install but still want the full Lights & Locks feature set that's often bundled with premium flush-mount packages.
• Dealerships running enough daily alignment volume that a missed plate lock or misjudged turnplate position in low light means real lost bay time.
• Shops replacing a short-bay lift and upgrading to integrated lighting/locking at the same time, rather than as a separate retrofit.
• Alignment centers where consistent first-try accuracy matters more than saving the incremental cost over the non-Lights-&-Locks EELR785APKG.

What the EELR783APKG Is NOT Built For

If the Lights & Locks package isn't a priority for your shop and you'd rather save on the upgrade, the base EELR785APKG gives you the identical short-bay surface-mount footprint and 14,000 lb capacity without the added lighting and lock controls. Choose this Lights & Locks version specifically when better bay visibility and secured plate positioning are worth the upgrade.

What Makes the EELR783APKG Different

14,000 lb. Lifting Capacity

14,000 lbs handles the full range of passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks that come through a busy alignment bay, so heavier vehicles never force you off this lift and onto a different one.

Short Bay Configuration

The short-bay layout keeps overall length in the same compact class as Hofmann's other short-footprint 14K models, which matters for shops that don't have the floor depth for a standard-length runway but still want full 14,000 lb capacity.

Surface-Mount Installation

Because the runways install on top of your existing slab rather than in a recessed pit, there's no concrete cutting or pit drainage planning — just a faster path from delivery to a working alignment bay.

Integrated Alignment Capability

Turntable pockets and rear slip-plate compatibility are built directly into the runway, so wheels stay free to pivot the way they would during a live alignment — no improvised setups needed to get an accurate reading.

Heavy-Duty Scissor Lift Design

The scissor mechanism holds the platform steady and level under full load, which matters most when your bay is cycling through alignment jobs back-to-back without downtime for readjustment.

• Low Drive-On Height: Improves vehicle accessibility for low-clearance applications
• Open Front & Rear Access: Enhances technician accessibility
• Commercial Hydraulic Operation: Engineered for dependable daily performance
