The Stratus SAE-F14X is a 14,000 lb extra-wide floor-plate 2-post lift for shops that need heavy-duty capacity without the full overhead height of a clearfloor model. Its 122 13/16" overall height, 129 15/16" inside-column space, and 116 1/8" drive-thru clearance make it a practical Stratus option for lower-ceiling bays that still service trucks, SUVs, vans, and fleet vehicles.
This model uses a baseplate / open-top layout with single-point manual release, a top limiter switch, 4 HP 220V single-phase power, and a listed 6" / 3000 PSI concrete requirement. Alamo can help confirm the bay, slab, electrical, delivery, and installation plan before the lift arrives.
14K Capacity in a Lower-Height Layout
The SAE-F14X gives shops a 14,000 lb rated floor-plate 2-post option where the 122 13/16" overall height is easier to fit than taller overhead clearfloor lifts.
Extra-Wide Vehicle Access
The listed 116 1/8" drive-thru clearance and 129 15/16" inside-column space give technicians room to position wider vehicles, work trucks, vans, and vehicles with large mirrors.
Baseplate / Open-Top Design
The floor-plate layout removes the overhead beam from the bay, which can help in lower-ceiling spaces. Buyers should still account for the floor plate when planning carts, jacks, creepers, and vehicle approach.
Long Arm Reach and Adapters
Front and rear arms list a 35 1/16" to 70 7/8" reach range, and the lift includes four screw-up rubber pads plus four 4" truck adapters for taller pickup points.
Stratus Warranty Coverage
The current Stratus listing shows a 5-year structural components warranty, 3-year hydraulic components warranty, and 2-year electrical parts warranty. Alamo can help buyers compare that coverage against other Alamo-sold 2-post lifts before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lifting capacity of the Stratus SAE-F14X?
The Stratus SAE-F14X is rated for 14,000 lbs, making it a heavy-duty floor-plate 2-post lift for trucks, SUVs, vans, and mixed fleet service.
How tall is the SAE-F14X?
The listed overall height is 122 13/16", making it a lower-height alternative to taller overhead clearfloor 2-post lifts.
How much drive-thru clearance does it provide?
The listed drive-thru clearance is 116 1/8", with 129 15/16" inside the columns.
Does the SAE-F14X include truck adapters?
Yes. The current source lists four screw-up rubber pads and four 4" truck adapters included with the SAE-F14X.
What electrical service does it need?
The listed motor is 4 HP, 220V, 60Hz, single phase, with a 30A breaker. Have a qualified electrician verify the circuit before installation.
What concrete does the SAE-F14X require?
The current listing states a 6", 3000 PSI concrete requirement. Slab condition, reinforcement, anchors, and local code should still be verified before installation.
Is the SAE-F14X ALI certified?
The current Alamo source page does not list an ALI certification claim for the Stratus SAE-F14X. Buyers who require documented certification should compare it against an Alamo-sold certified lift.
How does it compare to the Atlas® PV15PX?
Both are Alamo-sold heavy-duty 2-post lifts. The Stratus SAE-F14X is the 14K lower-height floor-plate option with wider drive-thru clearance, while the Atlas® PV15PX offers 15K capacity, overhead clearfloor access, and adjustable height settings.
Best For
✓ Shops that need 14,000 lb capacity in a lower-height floor-plate 2-post layout
✓ Bays where 116 1/8" drive-thru clearance and 129 15/16" inside-column space help with wider vehicles
✓ Buyers who want single-point manual release, included truck adapters, and a 55-second listed rise time
✓ Facilities that can plan around a floor plate while avoiding a tall overhead beam
✓ Shops that want Alamo help with slab, electrical, delivery, installation, inspection, and service planning
✗ Not ideal when a clearfloor work area with no floor plate is required
✗ Not ideal when documented ALI certification is required by policy or bid spec
✗ Not ideal if the shop needs 15K capacity; compare Atlas® PV15PX or Challenger E15 instead
Installation Requirements
• Ceiling height: plan around the listed 122 13/16" overall lift height plus vehicle and working clearance
• Bay space: allow for 129 15/16" inside-column space, 116 1/8" drive-thru clearance, 160 7/16" listed overall length, and the floor-plate path
• Concrete: current source lists 6" / 3000 PSI concrete; verify slab thickness, reinforcement, condition, anchor plan, and local code before installation
• Electrical: 4 HP, 220V, 60Hz, 1-phase motor with 30A breaker
• Hydraulic oil: plan for AW32 or AW46 hydraulic oil
• Receiving: source table lists 2,125 lbs, while freight handling may vary; confirm final receiving weight before delivery
• Professional installation strongly recommended for a 14,000 lb commercial lift
• Alamo offers installation planning and support — call (817) 865-3707

Stratus SAE-F14X vs Atlas® PV15PX
Both are Alamo-sold heavy-duty 2-post lifts for truck and fleet service, but they solve different bay-planning problems. The Stratus SAE-F14X is the lower-height 14K floor-plate option with very wide drive-thru clearance. The Atlas® PV15PX adds 15K capacity, overhead clearfloor access, and adjustable height settings for shops with taller ceilings.
| Spec | Stratus SAE-F14X | Atlas® PV15PX |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 14,000 lbs | 15,000 lbs |
| Positioning | Stratus lower-height extra-wide floor-plate 14K lift | Atlas® extra-wide / extra-tall 15K clearfloor value lift |
| Overall Height | 122 13/16" | 165" or 177"; 150" low-height setup with extra cables |
| Bay Layout | Baseplate / open-top design | Overhead clearfloor design |
| Inside Columns | 129 15/16" | 122 7/8" |
| Drive-Thru Clearance | 116 1/8" | 109" |
| Max Lift Height | 76 13/16" with adapters | 81" with adapters |
| Best Fit | Best when 14K capacity, lower installed height, and wide drive-thru access matter most | Best when 15K capacity, clearfloor access, adjustable height choices, and a 12-piece adapter set matter most |
Choose the SAE-F14X when the shop needs a lower-height 14K floor-plate lift with extra drive-thru room. Choose the Atlas® PV15PX when the buyer wants 15K capacity, overhead clearfloor access, and more height-setting flexibility.
