iDEAL 14K 4-Post Alignment Lift 182.5" #FP14KAC-X

iDEAL 14K 4-Post Alignment Lift — FP14KAC-X

The FP14KAC-X is a 14,000 lb capacity, closed-front, commercial 4-post alignment lift built for shops running front-end and full alignment work alongside general service. It uses a durable, high-quality cable lift system with 18 locking height positions and an extended rise height, and includes a bolt-on runway alignment kit as standard equipment.

With a 182.5 in maximum service wheelbase, a 166.7 in maximum 2-wheel alignment wheelbase, and a 157 in maximum 4-wheel alignment wheelbase, the FP14KAC-X handles most cars, SUVs, and light trucks. Full-width rear wheel slip plates and two turntable positions with spacer covers support proper alignment setup, while narrow and wide runway mounting positions let the lift adapt to different bay layouts.

It's built for alignment shops and full-service repair facilities that want one lift capable of both alignment and general 4-post service work, without needing a dedicated alignment rack and a separate service lift.

Who It's Built For

• ✅ Alignment shops and full-service repair facilities running front-end and full alignment jobs
• ✅ Shops wanting one 4-post lift that handles both alignment and general service work
• ✅ Facilities with narrow or wide bay layouts thanks to adjustable runway mounting positions

What It's NOT Built For

• ❌ Vehicles longer than the 182.5 in max service wheelbase
• ❌ Shops that only need basic storage/parking capacity — see the FP14KC-X service lift for a lower-cost option without the alignment kit
