Daytona LFPA24 24,000 lb Four Post Alignment Lift
Align Anything That Rolls In: the Daytona LFPA24 24,000 lb Four Post Alignment Lift
Alignment is the one service a fleet account will not send anywhere else once you can do it. The problem is that most alignment racks top out around 12,000 or 14,000 lbs, which is fine until the customer's box trucks, shuttle buses, ambulances, and loaded duallys need doing. Then the work you built the rack for goes to whoever has the bigger one, and it takes the rest of the account with it.
The Daytona LFPA24 is that bigger one. 24,000 lbs of capacity on 284.6" runways, driven by a heavy-duty 5" cylinder and aircraft quality lifting cables. Rise runs 10.2" to 66.9", so a technician stands and works rather than crouching. Overall footprint is 330.5" by 155.1", which is real commercial floor space, and the payoff is that essentially nothing in a light or medium duty fleet is too heavy for it.
The alignment hardware is included, not extra. Built-in slip plates and adjustable turntables both ship standard, which on most competitor racks is a line item that adds real money. The ladder lock system has manual release with locking positions every 3.5", and the whole thing runs on 240V single phase at 4 HP and 15 amps.
This is a floor plan decision as much as an equipment one. Call a Pitstop Pro lift specialist before you commit the bay, and we will work through the footprint, the slab, and whether you need the rolling jacks and alignment computer at the same time. Both are sold separately. Compare every 4 post car lift, see all alignment lifts, browse rolling bridge jacks, or view the full Daytona lineup.
Benefits of the Daytona LFPA24
Key Features of the Daytona LFPA24 24k Alignment Lift
• 24,000 lb lifting capacity: Driven by a heavy-duty 5" cylinder with aircraft quality lifting cables. Rise range is 10.2" to 66.9", and the four column design puts nothing overhead and nothing between the runways.
• Built-in slip plates, standard: Rear slip plates are part of the runway rather than an accessory, which is what lets you take a toe reading without fighting the suspension.
• Adjustable turntables, standard: Front turntables ship with the lift and adjust for wheelbase, so the rack is ready to align on the day it is commissioned.
• Ladder lock system: Manual release with locking positions every 3.5" through the travel. Simple, visible, and mechanically obvious, which is what you want holding 24,000 lbs over a technician.
• Runway and footprint: Runways measure 25.6" wide by 284.6" long with 43.7" of open space between them, giving 94.9" outside to outside. Overall the lift occupies 330.5" by 155.1" and stands 87.9" tall at full height.
• Rolling jack ready: The jack rails adjust from 35.4" to 63.0" to accept a rolling bridge jack for wheel-free service. Jacks and the alignment computer are sold separately, so you can phase the investment.
Minimum Garage Requirements
✔ Floor Space: 30'-0" L x 15'-0" W recommended (lift occupies 330.5" x 155.1") ✔ Ceiling Height: Determined by your tallest vehicle plus 66.9" of rise, not by the lift ✔ Concrete Thickness: Minimum 8" (203 mm)
✔ Concrete Strength: Minimum 4,000 PSI compressive ✔ Floor Level: Within 3/8" across the installation area ✔ Electrical: 240V single phase, 4 HP, 15A, 60Hz dedicated circuit
✔ Floor Space: 30'-0" L x 15'-0" W recommended (330.5" x 155.1")
✔ Ceiling Height: Tallest vehicle plus 66.9" of rise
✔ Concrete Thickness: Minimum 8" (203 mm)
✔ Concrete Strength: Minimum 4,000 PSI compressive
✔ Floor Level: Within 3/8" across the installation area
✔ Electrical: 240V single phase, 4 HP, 15A, 60Hz dedicated circuit
*This lift requires a minimum of 8" of 4,000 PSI concrete, level within 3/8" across the installation area, with no anchor placed within 6" of a crack, edge, or expansion joint. Note the 4,000 PSI requirement is higher than Daytona's two post range, because of the load this rack carries. Installing on inadequate concrete may result in serious injury or death. It is the customer's responsibility to verify concrete thickness and strength prior to purchase and installation.

Daytona LFPA24 Frequently Asked Questions
How much floor space do I actually need?
The lift itself occupies 330.5" by 155.1", which is about 27'-6" by 12'-11". Plan on a 30 by 15 foot bay so there is room to walk both sides, open doors, and get the alignment computer positioned. Ceiling height is set by your tallest vehicle plus 66.9" of rise, not by the lift, since a four post rack has nothing overhead.
Are the slip plates and turntables really included?
Yes, both are standard. This is worth checking carefully when you compare quotes, because on a number of competing alignment racks the slip plates, the turntables, or both are priced as accessories. A rack that looks cheaper on the headline can land higher once the alignment hardware is added.
What else do I need to actually perform alignments?
A wheel alignment computer, which is sold separately. Most shops also add a rolling bridge jack so wheels can come off without leaving the rack. The jack rails on this lift adjust from 35.4" to 63.0". Call us and we will spec the jack to match.
Do I need 24,000 lbs, or would 14,000 do?
If your alignment work is cars, pickups, and vans, the LFPA14 covers it and costs considerably less. You want 24,000 when medium duty is in the mix: box trucks, shuttle buses, ambulances, larger chassis cabs, and loaded commercial upfits. The honest test is whether turning that work away is costing you an account rather than a single job.
What concrete does it need?
A minimum of 8" of concrete at 4,000 PSI compressive strength, level within 3/8" across the installation area, with no anchor placed within 6" of a crack, edge, or expansion joint. Note that the 4,000 PSI figure is higher than Daytona specifies for their two post lifts, which reflects the load this rack carries. Verifying concrete is the customer's responsibility, and installing on an inadequate slab is genuinely dangerous.
Does a lift this size need three phase power?
No. It runs on 240V single phase, 4 HP, 15 amps, 60Hz on a dedicated circuit. That is worth knowing at 24,000 lbs, because plenty of equipment in this class assumes three phase service. Have a licensed electrician confirm the circuit and breaker sizing before the installer arrives.
How does delivery work on something this big?
The LFPA24 ships as freight in a 278" x 33" x 65" crate weighing 7,800 lbs. That is close to four tons and over 23 feet long, so this is not a tailgate delivery. You will need a forklift with adequate capacity and clear access on site. Talk to a lift specialist before ordering so the delivery is planned rather than improvised.
What is the warranty?
Five years structural, two years on power units, cylinders, and seal kits, and one year on all other defective parts. Daytona has served shops in the United States and Canada since 1999 and stocks parts in regional warehouses.
