Atlas publishes both for the PX16A: \u003cstrong\u003e6\" of concrete at 3,000 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003e220V single phase with a 30A breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e. Those two lines decide whether this lift can be installed in your bay, and they are the two questions we are asked most often after an order has already been placed.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhat you get for meeting them is a 16,000 lb four-wheel alignment scissor with a narrow footprint — 94\" wide overall — that aligns wheelbases from 96\" to 184\", from a compact car to a long-wheelbase truck or van, on one set of runways.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloor strength.\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\" of concrete at 3,000 PSI.

A scissor needs clearance around the runways, which is why the PX16A goes into bays that will not take a conventional rack. There is nothing at the front to work around and nothing at the corners to walk around. For a shop adding alignment to a bay that is already doing other work, that is usually the deciding factor rather than capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eStability in a scissor comes from the structure rather than from posts, so Atlas adds a front cross-beam and specifies precise platform levelling accuracy for wheel alignment. Commercial-grade construction is claimed throughout, and on a lift used for measurement that claim is doing real work: an alignment rack that flexes under load produces readings that are wrong in a way nobody notices until the customer comes back with a tire worn on one edge.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe Alignment Hardware Is Built In\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSlip plates and alignment turntables are included and integrated rather than bolted on afterwards, and the turntable positions are recessed into the runway. That is worth more than it sounds on a busy day: no turntables to lift into place before each job, nothing proud of the runway surface for a wheel to ride up on, and nothing to store between jobs. The slip plates are extra long, which is what allows four-wheel alignment right across the 96\" to 184\" wheelbase range instead of only in the middle of it.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe Safety Hardware, and Why Each Piece Exists\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFour items on the feature list are only interesting on a bad day, so it is worth saying what each one is for.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAir-operated mechanical safety locks.\u003c\/strong\u003e The parked vehicle rests on steel, not on hydraulic pressure holding station.

It matters in one specific circumstance: some commercial insurers, some fleet contracts and some local building or inspection authorities require a lift to hold a third-party safety listing before they will cover it or approve the installation. If that describes your situation, get the requirement named in writing by whoever is imposing it, and speak to us before ordering so we can check where this model stands with Atlas. It is a short conversation now and an expensive one once the lift is on your floor.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eShipping and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis lift ships as freight to the lower 48 states at 6,200 lbs.

If your site has no way to unload, choose terminal pickup and collect it yourself, or use one of our warehouse pickup locations.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA residential delivery address carries a residential fee. Freight is quoted live at checkout from your ZIP code, so the price is your actual lane on the day rather than a table.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCheck the freight before you sign for it.
