Forward S100137 Bolt-On Extended Length Alignment Kit for SM/SMO14 Lifts
Convert your Rotary SM14 or SMO14 four-post drive-on lift into a professional alignment rack with the S100137 extended length bolt-on kit. This conversion accessory enables full-function wheel alignment service on vehicles with wheelbases up to 215", providing your shop with expanded service capability without requiring a dedicated alignment lift investment.

Forward S100137 Features
Dual-Function Equipment Capability
The S100137 transforms your SM/SMO14 four-post drive-on lift into a working alignment rack during the day, then converts back to standard drive-on operation when needed. This flexibility maximizes equipment utilization on a single bay without requiring separate lift systems for different service functions.
Extended Wheelbase Coverage
With 215" wheelbase capacity, the S100137 accommodates full-size trucks, extended SUVs, and commercial vehicles that exceed standard four-post wheelbase limitations. This extended range opens new service revenue opportunities without expanding your bay footprint.
Precision Slip Plate System
Integrated slip plates enable lateral and longitudinal vehicle movement during alignment measurement and adjustment, providing the precise positioning required for accurate wheel alignment work without vehicle damage or technician strain.
Bolt-On, Non-Welded Installation
The S100137 attaches directly to your existing SM/SMO14 lift using bolt-on mounting hardware. No cutting, welding, or structural modifications are required, preserving your lift's warranty and maintaining equipment integrity for resale.

Rotary S100137 FAQ
What vehicles can the S100137 alignment kit accommodate?
The S100137 extended length kit accommodates vehicles with wheelbases up to 215", which covers most passenger cars, SUVs, vans, full-size trucks, and many commercial vehicles. Confirm your target vehicle wheelbase specifications before purchase.
Is the S100137 compatible with my SM14 or SMO14 lift?
The S100137 is engineered for all variants of the Rotary 100 Series SM14 and SMO14 lifts (including S, L, and EL configurations). Verify your lift model from the nameplate on the air lock release valve. The open-front SMO14 design provides enhanced access during alignment work.
What is the difference between bolt-on and permanent alignment kit installation?
The bolt-on design attaches using fasteners without welding or cutting the lift structure. This preserves the lift's original configuration and warranty while enabling conversion. Bolt-on kits can be removed if needed, whereas permanent installations modify the lift structure.
Can I install the S100137 myself or do I need a professional?
Installation involves bolting components to the lift frame and is typically manageable for shops with mechanical capability. Professional installation by a Rotary Authorized Installer is recommended to ensure proper alignment, activate extended warranty coverage, and verify load distribution.
What does the alignment kit include and what needs to be purchased separately?
The S100137 includes slip plates, extended ramps, mounting hardware, and installation components. Rolling jacks (for wheel access during alignment) are sold separately and must be purchased per your shop's needs. Alignment measurement equipment is also not included.
How is wheelbase capacity measured on my lift?
Wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear axle centers on a vehicle. The S100137 accommodates vehicles with wheelbases up to 215" from front to rear axle. Check your vehicle specifications sheet or consult the vehicle owner manual for specific wheelbase measurements.
What is the warranty coverage on the S100137 alignment kit?
The S100137 includes a 5-year structural warranty on mounting brackets and frame components, 2-year functional warranty on slip plates and locking mechanisms, and 1-year parts warranty on fasteners and wear items. Professional installation may qualify you for extended warranty eligibility.
What is the lead time for delivery?
Standard lead time is 14-21 business days from factory for continental US commercial addresses with free freight included. Specialized equipment shipping applies due to kit weight and configuration. Contact sales for expedited delivery options or international shipping information.
