No need to purchase accessories separately—this package is ready to deliver full alignment and service capabilities right out of the box.

With 22" wide runways, 17 level locking heights, and an impressive 4-wheel alignment range from 98" to 206", the AR44018AR accommodates a wide variety of vehicles. The lift supports a maximum 2-wheel alignment wheelbase of 220" and an overall maximum wheelbase of 236", making it suitable for everything from compact cars to full-size trucks and light commercial vehicles. The 83-3/8" rise height provides ample working clearance for comprehensive service procedures.

The included RJ9A Rolling Jacks feature air/hydraulic operation and come standard with four 3" stack adapters, providing easy access to brakes, suspension components, and wheels from underneath the lift. These rolling jacks are specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with the lift's built-in runway rail system, allowing for smooth positioning and secure operation. The adjustable width design and low vehicle drive-over clearance make these jacks exceptionally versatile for a wide range of service tasks.

The 10500SS Stainless Steel Turning Radius Gauges provide precision measurement for front wheel alignments, accurately measuring how many degrees the front wheels are turned left or right. These gauges are essential for measuring caster, camber, and toe-out on turns, ensuring your alignment work meets manufacturer specifications every time. The stainless steel construction ensures long-lasting durability even in demanding shop environments.
