Alignment Lifts

Alignment lifts are purpose-built for suspension and wheel alignment work, giving you a flat, level platform with the turn plates and slip plates needed to set caster, camber, and toe. For shops adding alignment services or techs who want to do the job right, an alignment lift is the foundation the whole process rests on. This collection covers scissor and four-post alignment styles to fit different bays and workflows.

Scissor vs. Four-Post Alignment Lifts

Both give you a level alignment platform, but they fit different spaces. Four-post alignment lifts use drive-on runways with rear slip plates and front turn-plate pockets, making them easy to load and stable under heavier vehicles. Scissor alignment lifts save floor space and open up the sides of the vehicle, which is handy in tighter bays.

What to Look For in an Alignment Lift

• Turn plates and slip plates: Pockets and recesses that let the wheels pivot and slide so the suspension settles naturally.
• Level platform: A true, flat runway is critical for accurate alignment readings.
• Capacity: Rate the lift for the heaviest vehicle you plan to align, with margin to spare.
• Runway length: Match it to your typical wheelbase so trucks and vans fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an alignment lift different from a regular lift?

Alignment lifts include recessed pockets for turn plates up front and slip plates at the rear, letting the wheels move freely so the suspension can be measured and adjusted accurately.

Can I do alignments on a standard four-post lift?

Only if it's designed with turn-plate and slip-plate pockets. A standard storage or service four-post typically lacks the recesses needed for proper alignment work.

Do alignment lifts come with turn plates?

Some include them and some don't. Check the listing, since turn plates and slip plates are sometimes sold separately depending on the model.
