Forward S100136 Bolt-On Alignment Kit for SM/SMO14 Lifts
Transform your Rotary SM14 or SMO14 four-post lift into a professional alignment rack with this durable bolt-on conversion kit. The S100136 includes slip plates and ramp modifications to create a level alignment surface, perfect for shops looking to add wheel alignment capabilities without replacing their existing lift infrastructure. Compatible with SM14 and SMO14 models serving vehicles up to 182 in wheelbase. 5 year structure warranty.
Rotary S100136 Features
Slip Plates for Smooth Positioning
The kit includes durable slip plates that reduce friction and allow technicians to position vehicles precisely on the alignment surface. The slip plates create a level platform from the turntable cutouts to the rear positioning area, essential for accurate four-wheel alignment work.
Bolt-On Design for Easy Installation
This kit bolts directly onto compatible SM14 and SMO14 lifts without requiring permanent modifications or welding. The bolt-on approach makes retrofitting straightforward and allows shops to maintain their lift's versatility for general service work when alignment capability isn't needed.
Ramp Modifications for Safety
Integrated ramp modifications ensure smooth vehicle entry and exit while maintaining stability during the alignment process. The design accommodates the standard 20 in wide runways of SM/SMO14 lifts for consistent vehicle positioning.
Compatible with Multiple SM/SMO14 Lengths
The S100136 works with SM14 and SMO14 lifts in standard, long, and extended lengths, supporting maximum wheelbases up to 182 in on SMO14L models. This flexibility makes the kit practical for shops maintaining diverse vehicle inventories.

Rotary S100136 Installation Requirements
Mechanical Preparation
The kit bolts directly to your existing SM14 or SMO14 lift using the provided mounting hardware. No cutting, welding, or permanent structural modifications are required. All necessary fasteners for bolt-on attachment are included.
Space Requirements
The alignment kit operates within the footprint of your existing lift. Ensure your service bay provides adequate working space around the alignment platform for technicians to access all four wheels during setup and measurement. Standard four-post lift bay spacing is sufficient.
Lift Operational Readiness
Your SM14 or SMO14 lift must be in proper working order with full hydraulic function and Sentinel Lock safety system engaged during alignment work. Perform standard pre-use inspection per Rotary lift maintenance guidelines before adding alignment services.
Professional Installation Recommended
While bolt-on installation is straightforward, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fit and optimal alignment platform setup. Trained technicians can verify component alignment and positioning for maximum accuracy during wheel alignment procedures.
What's Included
- Rear slip plates for vehicle positioning
- Ramp modifications for smooth entry and exit
- Bolt-on mounting hardware (complete fastener set)
- Installation guide for kit assembly
Not Included: Rolling jacks (sold separately), turntables, front turning plates, or alignment measurement equipment. Technicians must supply their own wheel alignment system compatible with four-wheel alignment platforms.

Which Rotary lifts does the S100136 work with?
The S100136 is compatible with SM14, SM14L, SM14EL, SMO14, SMO14L, and SMO14EL four-post lifts. The kit works with both closed-front (SM14) and open-front (SMO14) models. Verify your lift model before ordering to ensure compatibility.
What is the maximum wheelbase this kit supports?
The S100136 supports vehicles with wheelbases up to 182 in when installed on SMO14L and SM14L lifts. The kit provides stable positioning for cars, vans, light trucks, and SUVs within this wheelbase range.
Can I install the S100136 myself?
The bolt-on design allows for straightforward installation without welding or permanent modifications. However, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper platform leveling and alignment accuracy. Contact your Rotary dealer for installation services.
Do rolling jacks come with this kit?
No, rolling jacks are sold separately. The S100136 includes slip plates and ramp modifications only. Your SM14 or SMO14 lift must be equipped with compatible rolling jacks for complete alignment capability.

How much additional weight does the S100136 add to my lift?
The alignment kit components weigh approximately 750 lb total. This weight is distributed across the lift platform and does not exceed the 14,000 lb vehicle capacity of your SM14 or SMO14 lift.
What alignment systems are compatible with this platform?
