Rotary XA14 - 14,000 lb ALI Certified Alignment Scissor Lift with Rolling Jacks
The Rotary XA14 delivers 14,000 lb capacity in an open scissor design engineered for automotive service facilities performing wheel alignments and general underbody service. Featuring two 7,000 lb rolling jacks with internal airlines, stainless steel turning radius gauges, and a 4-wheel alignment wheelbase range of 85-1/2 inches to 193 inches, this alignment rack handles passenger vehicles through light commercial trucks while occupying a narrower footprint than traditional four-post lifts.
Model Numbers: XA14N110 (Surface Mount), XA14N111 (Recessed Mount)
Key Features & Benefits
Standard Rolling Jacks with 7,000 lb Capacity
The XA14 includes two 7,000 lb rolling jacks with internal airlines as standard equipment, enabling wheels-free brake, suspension, and tire service directly on the alignment rack. The internal airline design keeps hoses organized and out of the work area while maintaining full pneumatic functionality for air-powered tools.
Many alignment lifts require rolling jacks as an expensive add-on or leave technicians without a specified capacity rating. The XA14 addresses this by including jacks with published capacity figures that handle the full range of passenger vehicle and light truck wheel assemblies without separate purchases or compatibility concerns.
This enables complete drivetrain service without moving vehicles between stations. Technicians can perform alignments, then raise the vehicle on rolling jacks for brake inspections, tire rotations, or suspension component replacement in a single bay location.
Open Scissor Design with 34% Narrower Footprint
The scissor configuration delivers 91 inches overall width while providing unrestricted front-to-rear technician access with no cross-beam obstruction. This open design allows technicians to work around the entire vehicle perimeter without repositioning or working around structural barriers common to four-post designs.
Traditional four-post alignment lifts consume significant floor space and restrict lateral access with their column placement. The XA14's scissor architecture provides equivalent capacity and stability while fitting into narrower bays, allowing shop owners to maximize alignment bay density per square foot of facility space.
This enables more efficient shop layouts and faster service throughput. The recommended bay size of 14 feet by 27 feet accommodates the lift with working clearance while leaving room for alignment equipment positioning and technician movement.
Documented Wheelbase Range for Alignment Applications
The XA14 supports 4-wheel alignment wheelbases from 85-1/2 inches to 193 inches, with extended ranges for 2-wheel alignment (195 inches) and general service applications (198 inches). These specifications are published with explicit application context rather than single maximum figures that leave compatibility questions unanswered.
Alignment lift wheelbases are frequently listed inconsistently across the industry, with some manufacturers publishing general service maximums that don't reflect actual alignment capability. The XA14's tiered wheelbase specifications clarify exactly which vehicles can receive 4-wheel versus 2-wheel alignment service.
This eliminates guesswork when evaluating vehicle compatibility. Service writers and shop managers can reference documented specifications to confirm alignment capability before scheduling appointments for extended wheelbase trucks, vans, or specialty vehicles.
Air-Locking Rear Steers with Console Control
The rear slip plates feature air-actuated locking mechanisms controlled directly from the lift console, allowing technicians to engage or release locks without leaving the alignment position. Locking slip plates and stainless steel turning radius gauges are included as standard equipment for complete alignment setup.
Manual lock mechanisms require technicians to walk around the vehicle and physically engage each lock, interrupting workflow and adding time to every alignment procedure. Console-controlled air locks eliminate this interruption while providing positive engagement confirmation.
This improves alignment bay efficiency by reducing the physical steps required between alignment phases. Technicians maintain position at the console or alignment equipment while controlling slip plate status, keeping focus on alignment readings rather than equipment manipulation.
Surface and Recessed Mount Flexibility
The XA14 is available in surface mount (XA14N110) and recessed mount (XA14N111) configurations to support varied shop buildout requirements. Surface mount installation sits on top of existing concrete, while recessed installation positions the runways flush with the shop floor when lowered.
Low-profile vehicles can challenge surface-mounted alignment lifts due to approach angle constraints and minimum ride height clearance. Recessed installation addresses this by eliminating the step-up onto runways, allowing sports cars, lowered vehicles, and vehicles with aerodynamic body kits to drive on without scraping.
This enables service of the full vehicle spectrum in a single bay. Shops servicing both standard vehicles and low-profile performance cars can specify recessed installation to eliminate approach angle limitations while maintaining the clean aesthetic of flush-mounted equipment.
ALI Gold Label Certification
The XA14 carries Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) Gold Label certification along with ETL listing, meeting ANSI/ALI ALCTV safety and performance standards and ANSI/ALI ALOIM operational safety requirements. Third-party certification validates capacity claims through independent testing protocols.
Uncertified lifts may display capacity ratings without independent verification, creating liability exposure and potential safety concerns. ALI certification requires lifts to meet specific design, construction, and performance criteria verified through standardized testing procedures.
This provides documented compliance for insurance, OSHA, and facility safety audits. Shop owners can demonstrate due diligence in equipment selection with third-party certification documentation that validates the 14,000 lb capacity rating.
