The Challenger SX14-ER represents the pinnacle of professional alignment technology for shops demanding precision, durability, and versatility. This 14,000 lb capacity surface-mounted scissor alignment lift features extended approach ramps that add an extra 18 inches of approach length—bringing total ramp length to 78.5 inches—making it the ideal solution for low-clearance vehicles, sports cars, and modern sedans that require a gentler entry angle. ALI certified and built to meet the most demanding shop environments, the SX14-ER combines advanced features like photo cell runway synchronization, automatic LED undercarriage lighting, and ergonomic single-point lock release to maximize technician productivity while minimizing fatigue.

The Challenger SX14 series scissor lifts are engineered for ease of operation, precision alignment work, and reliable daily performance. With adjustable turn plates included in the package, technicians can accommodate a wider range of wheelbase configurations—from compact cars to full-size trucks with dual rear wheels. The SX14-ER's extended ramps provide the critical clearance needed for vehicles with low front spoilers, air dams, or aggressive suspension setups that would otherwise scrape on standard-length approaches.
Featuring twin hydraulic cylinders for smooth, synchronized lifting, the SX14-ER ensures balanced operation throughout the entire 77-inch raise height. A built-in photo cell system continuously monitors both runways to maintain perfect synchronization, preventing any imbalance or uneven lifting that could compromise safety or alignment accuracy. With an overall width of 91¼ inches and total length of 283 inches, this lift provides an expansive work platform with 40 inches between platforms for easy undercarriage access.
Built for high-volume shops where every minute counts, the SX14-ER incorporates intelligent design features that streamline workflow and reduce physical strain. The automatic LED lighting system illuminates the underside of the vehicle when raised, providing excellent visibility for precision alignment measurements, and automatically turns off when the lift is lowered below 18 inches—no fumbling for switches or wasted energy. The single-point air actuated lock release allows technicians to disengage all safety locks from an ergonomic working height, eliminating unnecessary bending and stooping that leads to fatigue over long shifts.
Maintenance demands are minimized thanks to maintenance-reduced rear slip plates that utilize oversized, encapsulated bearings. These bearings are sealed against environmental debris, dirt, and contaminants, extending service life and ensuring smooth, consistent operation. The approach ramps are equipped with end rollers that minimize noise during vehicle entry and exit while reducing potential damage to your shop floor—protecting your investment in both the lift and your facility.
The entire lift system is finished with a durable powder coat finish that provides long-lasting protection against chips, scratches, and the harsh chemicals common in automotive shop environments. Available in black only, the finish maintains its professional appearance even after years of heavy use.
Unlike basic lift-only purchases, the SX14-ER Alignment Lift Package includes everything you need to begin performing professional wheel alignments immediately. The comprehensive package includes:
The surface-mounted installation simplifies setup compared to flush-mount alternatives, reducing installation time and cost while maintaining the full functionality and precision required for professional alignment work. With a minimum recommended bay size of 14' × 28', the SX14-ER fits into most standard alignment bay configurations without requiring facility modifications.
The SX14-ER is engineered to handle a diverse range of vehicles with precision and confidence. With a maximum wheelbase capacity of 183 inches (based on 30" tire diameter) and maximum wheel alignment measurement distance of 176 inches, this lift accommodates everything from compact cars to full-size pickups and SUVs. The minimum 4-wheel alignment measurement of 70¾ inches ensures even the shortest wheelbase vehicles can be aligned accurately.
Powered by a reliable 3-phase motor operating on 208-240V single-phase 60Hz power, the SX14-ER delivers consistent, smooth lifting performance. The lift's control console can be positioned flexibly within 24" to 64" width and 40" to 74" length from the lift center, allowing you to optimize your bay layout for workflow efficiency.
