Stratus SAE-414A — 14,000 lbs 4-Post alignment car lift with pneumatic safety lock release
Alignment shops working on trucks and larger SUVs need a lift rated well above passenger-car capacity, and they need the included accessories — turntable plates, a rolling bridge jack — ready to go instead of sourcing them separately after the lift arrives. A safety system that only has one lock mechanism also leaves no backup if something goes wrong mid-service.
The Stratus SAE-414A covers both problems: a 14,000 lb rating that handles trucks and larger SUVs alongside passenger cars, a rolling bridge jack and turntable plate included standard, and a dual safety device design that automatically backs up the primary lock. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 for details on fit, install, and pricing.
Who the SAE-414A Is Built For
- Alignment shops that regularly see trucks and larger SUVs mixed in with passenger cars and need 14,000 lbs of capacity to cover the whole range without a second lift
- Shops that want the rolling bridge jack and turntable plate included standard, instead of sourcing alignment accessories separately after the lift is installed
- Facilities that value the dual safety device design’s automatic secondary lock backup as extra insurance during every service cycle
- Owners replacing an alignment lift that maxed out below 14,000 lbs and kept turning away heavier truck and SUV alignment work
- Shops that want a max-lifting-height limiter switch built in so techs are not relying on visual judgment alone to avoid over-extending the lift
- Facilities using pneumatic safety lock release who already have or are willing to run external air supply to the bay
What the SAE-414A Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Shops that want open-center scissor access instead of a traditional 4-post configuration — see the FS11AP
- ❌ Facilities without external compressed air for the pneumatic lock release

What Makes the SAE-414A Different
14,000 lbs of Capacity Built for Trucks and SUVs, Not Just Cars
A 75 3/8" maximum rise gets techs full standing-height access on the heavier, taller vehicles that alignment shops increasingly see — without the lift being oversized or overpriced for the passenger cars still on the schedule too.
Two Safety Systems Instead of One
The dual safety device design means a secondary lock engages automatically if the primary lock is ever out of position — and the max lifting height limiter switch prevents over-extension, so the lift protects itself and the tech underneath it.
Runs on the Air Supply Your Bay Already Has
Pneumatic safety lock release needs an external air line — confirm exact voltage with Alamo before ordering, along with your slab’s PSI and depth, so the electrical and concrete work is scoped correctly before install day.
5-Year Structural Warranty, Serviced by Alamo
The 5-year structural / 3-year hydraulic / 2-year electrical parts warranty backs the SAE-414A. Call (844) 480-6059 for service and reach the team that installed your lift, not a manufacturer switchboard.
A Footprint Sized for Alignment Work on Larger Vehicles
At 144 9/16" wide with 82 1/2" to 86 7/16" of drive-thru clearance, the SAE-414A has the room longer trucks and SUVs need for alignment access. Confirm these dimensions against your bay with Alamo before ordering.
- ✅ Alignment shops needing 14,000 lb capacity — enough for most trucks and larger SUVs alongside passenger cars
- ✅ Shops that want the included rolling bridge jack and turntable plate for a complete alignment setup out of the box
- ✅ Facilities wanting the extra safety of a dual safety device design (automatic backup if primary locks are out of position)
- ❌ Shops that want open-center scissor access instead of a traditional 4-post configuration — see the FS11AP
- ❌ Facilities without external compressed air for the pneumatic lock release
SAE-414A vs. Stratus Commercial Grade 11,000 lb Alignment Scissor Car Lift — Which Lift Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | SAE-414A | Stratus Commercial Grade 11,000 lb Alignment Scissor Car Lift |
|---|---|---|
| Lift type | 4-Post alignment | Scissor alignment |
| Capacity | 14,000 lbs | 11,000 lbs |
| Best fit | Higher-capacity 4-post alignment work | Open-center scissor alignment with 210"+ platform |
Choose the SAE-414A for higher 14,000 lb capacity in a traditional 4-post alignment configuration. Choose the FS11AP scissor lift for open-center access and a longer platform for extended-length vehicles. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
