SITE LAYOUT
1. Determine the location of where the lift will be installed based on the size of vehicles servicing. The dimensions shown below
are rough guidelines. "Dry-t" the vehicles intended to be serviced in the bay by referring to the ALI Lifting Point Guide for
appropriate lift points before nalizing the column spacing.
2. Once a location is determined, use a carpenters chalk line to layout a grid for the post locations. Keep all dimensions and
squareness within 1/8" or malfunctioning of the lift can occur.
3. After the post locations are properly marked, use a chalk or crayon to make an outline of the columns on the oor at each
location using the post base plates as a template.
4. Double check all dimensions and make sure that the layout is perfectly square.
NOTE:
Wide or narrow installation is possible. The lift can be installed at a width that suits the vehicles you will be raising.
You may even choose to install additional anchors at varied column positions for adaptability to multiple vehicle congurations.
5. Recommended bay dimensions 20' deep and 14' wide.
6. Clearance around lift should be 5”. Clearance above lift must exceed height of top of raised vehicle.
