Stratus 4-Post 14k lbs Pneumatic Safety Lock Release Car Lift SAE-414

Stratus SAE-414 — 14,000 lbs 4-Post Lift

Running a lift near its rated capacity every day isn't where a heavy-duty shop wants to be — and full-size trucks and commercial vans push most 4-post lifts right to that edge. The Stratus SAE-414 is built with real headroom above that: 14,000 lbs of rated capacity with a pneumatic safety lock release system and dual safety device design for shops that need genuine heavy-duty capability.

The SAE-414 runs on a 220V single-phase 4HP power unit and ships with 2 approach ramps standard. A rolling bridge jack is available as an optional add-on for independent one-end lifting. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm your garage or shop bay has the 220V circuit, compressed air, and floor space this model needs before you order.

Who the SAE-414 Is Built For

• The commercial shop that regularly services full-size trucks, cargo vans, and heavier vehicles that push past what a standard 9,000-10,000 lb 4-post lift can comfortably handle
• The shop that already runs a compressed-air line to the bay and wants a pneumatic lock release system rather than adding another manual mechanism to train techs on
• The buyer who specifically needs the longer standard-length runway (versus the compact SAE-414C) because their bay has the floor space and their vehicles need the extra length
• The shop upgrading from a lift that's been running near its rated capacity daily — the SAE-414's 14,000 lb rating buys real headroom above that ragged edge
• The multi-bay shop standardizing on one heavy-duty 4-post platform so techs don't relearn controls between service bays

What the SAE-414 Is NOT Built For

• ❌ Shops tight on floor space — the compact SAE-414C covers the same 14,000 lb capacity in a shorter footprint
• ❌ Vehicles under 9,000-10,000 lbs — a lighter-duty 4-post lift is a better value
• ❌ Buyers wanting manual lock release — this model uses pneumatic release requiring shop air

What Makes the SAE-414 Different

14,000 lb Capacity for Heavy-Duty Work

The SAE-414's 14,000 lb rating handles full-size trucks, vans, and heavier commercial vehicles with real margin, rather than running near a lighter-duty lift's rated limit.

Pneumatic Safety Lock Release

A pneumatic release system offers fast, consistent lock disengagement for shops already running compressed air to the bay — one less manual mechanism for techs to learn.

Dual Safety Device Design

A second safety device automatically locks if the primary safety locks are out of operation — genuine redundancy for a heavy-duty lift carrying serious vehicle weight.

Max Lifting Height Limiter Switch

Ensures the cylinders work within their safe stroke length, protecting the hydraulic system from over-travel damage over the life of the lift.

CE-Tested Load Capacity

Independently tested to 115% of rated capacity dynamically and 150% statically — real safety margin above the advertised 14,000 lb rating.
