MINIMUM SPECS - FOUR (4) POST VEHICLE ALIGNMENT LIFT WITH INSTALLATION.pdf

FOUR (4) - POST VEHICLE ALIGNMENT LIFT – 15,000 LB. CAPACITY

SCOPE

The Government requires the acquisition and installation of one (1) 15,000-lb capacity, ALI/ANSI-certi�ied four-post alignment lift to support professional automotive service operations.

The lift must accommodate a broad range of vehicles including compact cars, SUVs, wide-track vehicles, and dual-wheel heavy-duty trucks and provide unobstructed service access through an open-front design compatible with optional alignment lighting systems.

The required lift shall include pro-style runways at least 26 inches wide, with an “easy-on” ramp and a lowered height not exceeding 8 inches to support low-pro�ile vehicles. It must incorporate enhanced rear slip plates of no less than 100 inches in length, engineered for accurate four-wheel alignment on both long and short wheelbase vehicles, using full-�loating polymer ball-transfer units for low-maintenance operation. To support lifting versatility, the system shall include low-pro�ile rolling jack beams with extended-reach arms, a higher lifting stroke, and a low drive-over height, capable of fully retracting within the runways when not in use. The lift structure shall provide minimum rear column clearances of 120 inches drive-on and 125 inches body clearance to ensure adequate access for heavy-duty trucks.

The lift must deliver a minimum lifting height of 78 inches, a lifting time not exceeding 85 seconds, and operate on 208–230V, 60 Hz, single-phase, 30A electrical service with a 3 HP (2.2 kW) motor.

An air supply of 90–120 PSI shall be required for auxiliary functions.

The contractor shall provide a standard-length con�iguration capable of supporting maximum wheelbases of 183 inches (standard). The installation site must meet minimum bay size requirements of 14 ft × 24 ft (standard). Optional features such as Locked & Lighted systems or drive-through ramp con�igurations may be included if determined necessary by the Government.

All equipment delivered shall be new, free of defects, installed in accordance with manufacturer speci�ications, and fully operational upon Government acceptance.
