Stratus FS11AP: an alignment scissor lift built for long wheelbases

You're aligning everything from compact sedans to extended cab trucks, and the lift you're stuck with keeps shorting you on platform length. The Stratus Commercial Grade 11,000 lbs Alignment Scissor Vehicle Lift, model FS11AP, fixes that. With a main runway that stretches past 196 inches and an overall footprint built for full-size vehicles, this scissor alignment lift gives you room to set up a proper alignment on the rigs other lifts can't hold.

This is an open center, full rise alignment scissor lift driven by four hydraulic cylinders and backed by a dual air cylinder safety structure. The pneumatic safety lock release lets you drop the lift smoothly across 11 lock positions, each spaced 1 5/8" (42mm) apart, so you can park the deck exactly where the job needs it. Pair the rear slip plates with the included bridge jacks and you've got a complete wheel alignment scissor lift ready for production work.

Every unit is proofed with a dynamic test at 115% of rated capacity and a static test at 150% of rated capacity before it ships. You can run it as an in-ground flush mount for a clean bay floor or set it up as an on-ground surface mount when you need flexibility. Either way, it's a scissor lift alignment rack you can build a real alignment business around. Buy it from us and you get free freight to the lower 48 plus direct phone support to talk through power, mounting, and fitment before you commit.

Installation & Setup

This lift runs on 220V single-phase power, so confirm you've got the right circuit at the bay before delivery. The electric hydraulic drive system feeds four hydraulic cylinders, and the dual air cylinder safety structure needs a shop air supply running between 4 and 6 bar to operate the pneumatic safety lock release.

You've got two mounting paths. Set it as an in-ground flush mount for a level floor and clean walkways, or run it as an on-ground surface mount when you want the option to relocate later. Either configuration carries the same 11,000 lbs capacity and the same 13" platform height. Plan your concrete and air drops around the layout you choose, and reach out if you want to talk through the setup before it lands.
