Combo Packages

ALI Certification: What You Need to Know

Several combo packages in our selection feature ALI (Automotive Lift Institute) certified lifts. ALI certification indicates that a lift has been independently tested and meets ANSI (American National Standards Institute) safety and performance standards. This third-party validation provides added confidence that the equipment meets recognized industry safety requirements. When comparing options, look for the ALI designation if certification is important for your operation.

Understanding Package Configurations

Combo packages typically fall into several categories based on their intended use:

• Basic Lift Combos: Include a two-post lift paired with a tire changer and wheel balancer — ideal for shops adding tire service capabilities alongside general repair work.
• Shop Starter Kits: More comprehensive packages that include not just the lift and tire equipment, but also air compressors, hose reels, wheel weights, and other essential tools needed to begin operations.
• Alignment Packages: Feature lifts specifically designed or configured for wheel alignment work, often with extended height capabilities and appropriate accessories.
• Heavy-Duty Configurations: Built around four-post lifts or higher-capacity two-post models, typically ranging up to 18,000 lbs. or more, suitable for larger vehicles and commercial applications.

Space and Installation Considerations

Before selecting a combo package, carefully evaluate your facility requirements:

• Ceiling Height: Two-post lifts vary significantly in overall height. Standard models may require ceiling heights around 12-13 feet, while extended-height and extra-tall models (up to 181" overall height in some configurations) demand considerably more clearance for working on larger vehicles or cargo vans.
• Floor Space: Consider not just the lift footprint but also the additional floor space needed for tire changing equipment, wheel balancers, and air compressor placement. Proper workflow layout prevents bottlenecks.
• Electrical Requirements: Most packages require 220V or 208V power. Verify your facility's electrical capacity before purchasing.
• Floor Specifications: Two-post lifts generally require concrete floors of specific thickness and strength. Check manufacturer requirements, as specifications vary by model and capacity.

Two-Post Lift Design Variations

Combo packages feature different two-post lift configurations, each with specific advantages. Symmetric lifts position the vehicle's center of gravity between the columns, ideal for general service work. Asymmetric designs rotate the columns toward the rear of the vehicle, providing better door clearance for accessing the interior while maintaining proper weight distribution. Some advanced models feature bi-metric or configurable arms that adapt to either configuration, offering maximum versatility. Clearfloor designs eliminate base plates for easier vehicle positioning and shop floor cleaning, while floor-plate models may offer increased stability in certain applications.

Professional-Grade Components

The equipment included in these packages represents professional-grade tools designed for daily commercial use. Features commonly found in these packages include single-point lock release systems for safety, automatic shut-off bars, drop-in adjustable swivel pads for proper vehicle contact points, and rubber door guards to protect customer vehicles. Tire changers range from semi-automatic to swing-arm designs, while wheel balancers may include protective hood covers and advanced balancing modes depending on the package configuration.
