iDEAL 14K 4-Post Service Lift — FP14KC-X
The FP14KC-X is a 14,000 lb capacity, closed-front, commercial 4-post service lift built for general vehicle service and storage/parking applications. It's a chain-driven, high-performance lift with an 182.5 in maximum wheelbase, an overall footprint of 208 in L x 123 in W, and a lifting height of 67 in across 18 locking height positions.
A single-point manual lock release simplifies lowering the lift, and the durable powder-coat finish is built for daily shop use. Unlike the FP14KAC-X, the FP14KC-X does not include a runway alignment kit — it's built as a straightforward, capable service and storage lift for shops that don't need on-lift alignment capability.
It's built for general repair shops, dealership service departments, and storage/parking facilities that need a heavy-duty 4-post lift for routine service, undercarriage work, or vehicle storage without paying for alignment features they won't use.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ General repair shops and dealership service departments needing a 14,000 lb 4-post service lift
- ✅ Storage and parking facilities needing raised vehicle storage capacity
- ✅ Shops that don't need on-lift alignment capability
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Vehicles longer than the 182.5 in max wheelbase
- ❌ Shops needing on-lift alignment capability — see the FP14KAC-X with its bolt-on alignment kit instead
