The Atlas® PX-16A scissor alignment lift delivers the perfect combination of 16,000 lb. capacity, space-saving design, and exceptional versatility that today's service departments demand. Engineered with heavy-duty construction and a super-balanced lifting system specifically optimized for precision wheel alignment work, this commercial-grade lift handles everything from compact passenger cars to heavy-duty long wheelbase trucks and vans with confidence.
Built around a narrow width footprint that maximizes bay efficiency without compromising capability, the PX-16A features a sophisticated Wheels Free System with recessed turntables and extra-long slip plates that enable true 4-wheel alignments on wheelbases ranging from 96 inches to 184 inches—and even further with optional front extensions. The integrated runway jack rail and semi-enclosed Air Line Kit Routing System keep your work area organized and professional by eliminating cluttered shop air hoses across the floor.
Whether you're aligning a Smart Car® or servicing an F-450 dual wheel truck, the Atlas® PX-16A provides the platform leveling accuracy, mechanical safety, and operational efficiency that alignment professionals depend on every day. Available for both surface mount or flush mount installation, this lift adapts seamlessly to your facility's requirements.
The PX-16A is engineered from the ground up for commercial service environments. Its robust construction features a super-balanced lift design that ensures smooth, stable operation throughout the entire lifting range. The 4 HP 220-volt motor (single phase, 30 amp breaker required) delivers consistent performance, while the integrated overload valve and lowering speed control valve provide added safety and operator control.
With 18 mechanical locking positions, technicians can work at optimal heights for every alignment procedure. The emergency manual pump for lowering ensures you're never stranded if power is lost. Weighing 6,200 lbs and requiring 3-5 gallons of AW32/AW46 hydraulic oil, this lift is built to deliver years of reliable service in demanding shop conditions.
One of the standout features of the Atlas® PX-16A is its exceptional wheelbase range. The extra-long slip plates allow 4-wheel alignment on vehicles with wheelbases from a minimum of 96 inches (8 feet) up to 184 inches (15' 4") in standard configuration—or up to 204 inches (17 feet) with optional front extensions. For 2-wheel alignment work, the maximum wheelbase extends even further to 210 inches (17' 6") with extensions installed.
This wide range means your shop can confidently service compact cars, mid-size sedans, SUVs, full-size pickups, extended cab trucks, cargo vans, passenger vans, and even long-wheelbase commercial vehicles—all on a single lift. The recessed turntables and Wheels Free System ensure that wheels can rotate freely during alignment procedures without obstruction, while the 23 3/4" runway width and 44 7/8" spacing between runways accommodate a broad variety of vehicle track widths.
The PX-16A can be installed as either a surface mount or flush mount lift, giving you flexibility based on your shop layout and floor conditions. Surface mounting provides faster installation and easier serviceability, while flush mounting creates a level shop floor when the lift is in the lowered position (only 13 1/4" lowered height). The overall length spans 271 inches (22' 7") with approach ramps installed, or 206 1/2 inches (17' 2 1/2") without ramps, and extends to 294 inches (24' 6") or 229 1/2 inches (19' 1 1/2") respectively when wheelbase extensions are added.
The 66-inch approach ramps provide smooth vehicle entry, while the 63 3/4" clearance under the runway when raised ensures ample working space beneath the vehicle. The overall width of 94 inches (7' 10") makes this an ideal choice for shops with limited bay width but big vehicle service needs.
Every Atlas® PX-16A alignment lift comes complete with essential components and features for immediate professional use. The package includes:
The Air Line Kit Routing System is particularly valuable for shops using optional rolling jacks—it provides clean, organized air delivery directly to the jacks without messy hoses snaking across your work area. The runway jack rail is specifically designed to accommodate these rolling jacks for even greater versatility during service procedures.
The lift ships in 2 boxes with dimensions of 198" x 53" x 29 1/2" and a total shipping weight of approximately 5,500 lbs, reflecting the robust, commercial-grade construction that professionals expect from Atlas® Automotive Equipment.
