Stratus Sliding Bridge Jack SAE-BJ5 - Built for 4 Post Lifts

You've got a 4 post lift, which is great for storage and drive-on service. But the second you need wheels off the ground for a brake job, tire rotation, or suspension work, that runway becomes a problem. A sliding bridge jack solves it. The Stratus SAE-BJ5 rides the rails of your lift, slides into position over the axle or frame, and lifts the vehicle clear so you can pull wheels without ever leaving the lift.

This is a 5,000 lb capacity unit that fits Stratus 4 Post models SAE-P48, SAE-P49, SAE-P49D, and SAE-P410. The frame telescopes from 35 inches to 60 inches, so it spans narrow imports and wide trucks without swapping equipment. A hand pump drives the lift, and a 3 1/8 inch extension adaptor ships in the box to reach high or awkward contact points.

If you're cross-shopping sliding bridge jacks, the thing that trips people up is fitment. This one is matched to the Stratus four post family, so the rails line up and the slide is clean. No shimming, no fighting it onto rails it was never meant for. Buy it knowing it bolts into the workflow you already run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which lifts does the SAE-BJ5 fit?

It's matched to the Stratus 4 Post family - specifically the SAE-P48, SAE-P49, SAE-P49D, and SAE-P410. The frame rides those rails directly, so you won't be shimming or modifying anything to make it sit right.

How much weight can it lift?

The rated capacity is 5,000 lbs. That covers cars, most trucks, and SUVs you'd be running on a 4 post lift in a typical shop or home garage.

How wide a vehicle can it span?

The unit telescopes from 35 inches out to 60 inches. That range lets one jack reach across narrow compact cars and wide full-size trucks without swapping to a different tool.

How high does it lift?

Maximum lifting height is 19 1/8 inches. That's enough to get wheels clear of the runway for brake, tire, and suspension work.

How does it raise and lower?

It runs on a hand pump, so no shop air or electrical hookup is needed at the jack. Lowering takes about 10 seconds, giving you smooth, controlled descent.

What's the extension adaptor for?

A 3 1/8 inch extension adaptor comes in the box. You use it to reach higher or awkward contact points on the frame or axle when the standard saddle height isn't enough.

Why use a sliding bridge jack instead of a floor jack on the lift?

A floor jack can't ride a 4 post runway. This bridge jack slides along the rails and positions over the lift point, so you can pull wheels while the vehicle stays up on the four post - something a floor jack on the shop floor can't do.

How does it ship and what does it weigh?

It ships freight at 273 lbs in a 42 x 20 x 14 inch crate. Shipping to the lower 48 is free, and our team helps coordinate the delivery details.

Will it fit a non-Stratus 4 post lift?

It's designed and rail-matched for the Stratus four post models listed above. If you run a different brand of lift, call us at (855) 498-2147 before ordering so we can confirm whether it'll work for your setup.
