Atlas PX16A 16,000 lb Scissor Alignment Lift

The Atlas PX16A is a 16,000 lb. capacity scissor alignment lift built for heavy-duty service shops that need precision alignment capability without sacrificing valuable floor space. Designed with a narrow-width, space-efficient footprint, it supports everything from passenger cars to long-wheelbase trucks and commercial vans while maintaining the stability required for accurate four-wheel alignment work.

Its core advantage is the scissor-style platform with integrated alignment system, which provides a rigid, level lifting surface essential for precise geometry readings. The lift supports vehicles with wheelbases ranging from 96 inches to 184 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of modern passenger and commercial vehicles. Built-in slip plates and alignment turntables come standard, allowing technicians to perform full 4-wheel alignments without additional setup equipment. Recessed turntable positions help maintain a smooth platform surface when not in use.

The PX16A is also designed for workflow efficiency in busy shops. It includes runway jack rails for optional rolling jacks, enabling wheel-free service for suspension and brake work without removing the vehicle from the lift. A semi-enclosed air line routing system helps keep shop air lines organized and reduces clutter on the floor when using pneumatic accessories like rolling jacks.

Safety and control are reinforced through air-operated mechanical locking systems (external air supply required), an overload protection valve, and a controlled lowering speed valve. A separate self-contained control unit provides simplified operation and easier service access. In the event of power loss, an emergency manual pump allows controlled lowering of the platform.

The PX16A is best suited for professional alignment shops, tire centers, fleet maintenance facilities, and commercial repair operations that require high-capacity lifting combined with accurate alignment performance. It is backed by a 2-year structural warranty and 1-year hydraulic warranty (parts only), positioning it as a heavy-duty alignment solution within the Atlas PX lineup.
