Hofmann 15K 4-Post Alignment Lift — Extended #EELR708APKG

Hofmann 15,000 lb 4-Post Alignment Lift — Extended

Extended-cab trucks, cargo vans, and other long-wheelbase vehicles hang off the end of a standard alignment runway, and that overhang makes for guesswork on slip-plate positioning and rear toe readings. Plenty of shops need that longer runway to service their daily vehicle mix, but not every shop needs the added lighting kit, locking hardware, or galvanized coating that some configurations bundle in — and paying for options you won't use just adds cost without adding value.

The Hofmann EELR708APKG is the base version of the extended-length 15,000 lb 4-post platform — the same 277" overall runway as the EELR708LLPKG and EELR708GPKG, minus the Lights & Locks package and galvanized coating. You get the full-length runway that handles long-wheelbase vehicles properly, at a lower price point than the upgraded variants, for shops that don't need the extras.

Who the EELR708APKG Is Built For

• A fleet shop that just turned away a 15-passenger van because the standard 250.75" runway couldn't safely support its wheelbase — the extended 277" platform is built for exactly that scenario.
• An alignment center in a climate-controlled indoor bay where corrosion has never been an issue, so paying extra for galvanized runways would be money spent solving a problem the shop doesn't have.
• A shop opening a second bay on a tight equipment budget, prioritizing the extended runway (which actually changes what vehicles they can service) over lighting or locking upgrades (which are conveniences, not capability).
• An operation replacing a 15-year-old alignment lift that just needs dependable extended-length capacity again — no new features to train techs on, just more runway than the outgoing lift had.
• A dealership with a 14' x 26' bay already built out for a previous extended-length lift, where this is a drop-in capacity match without any bay reconstruction.
• A shop that already has good overhead bay lighting installed and would rather spend the savings on the runway length than duplicate lighting they don't need.

What the EELR708APKG Is NOT Built For

If your bay could use integrated LED lighting and a locking control system, the EELR708LLPKG bundles those in at the same extended footprint. If corrosion resistance matters more — salt exposure, in-bay washing, coastal humidity — the galvanized EELR708GPKG is the better fit. And if you don't need the extended runway at all, the standard-length EELR706APKG covers the same base spec in a smaller bay.

What Makes the EELR708APKG Different

15,000 lb. Lifting Capacity

Full 15,000 lb capacity covers cars, SUVs, trucks, vans, and fleet vehicles — the extended platform doesn't trade capacity for length, so you're not limiting the vehicle types this lift can handle just because it's the base configuration.

Extended Length Design

The 277" runway gives long-wheelbase trucks and vans full support end to end, which is exactly what the extended configuration exists for. No overhang, no guessing where the rear axle sits on the slip plate — the runway length matches the vehicle instead of the vehicle overhanging the runway.

Ultra-Wide 26-Inch Runways

Wide-track vehicles and dual-rear-wheel trucks get stable footing on the 26-inch runways instead of your tech having to carefully thread narrow tires onto an undersized platform — no compromise on runway width just because this is the base extended model.

Extra-Long Rear Slip Plates

Extended rear slip plates give four-wheel alignment systems the range of motion needed for accurate rear toe and thrust-angle readings on the long-wheelbase vehicles this configuration is built to handle — shorter plates can bind or limit travel on a longer vehicle.

ALI Certified Lift

ALI certification means the EELR708APKG has passed independent testing against ANSI/ALI ALCTV safety standards — the same benchmark OSHA references — regardless of which options package you choose. The base model carries the same safety certification as the upgraded variants.

• Imaging Alignment Compatible: Supports modern alignment systems
• Expanded Drive-On Clearance: Accommodates dual-wheel trucks and larger vehicles
• Micro-Adjustment Leveling: Helps improve alignment precision
