The Atlas 14KOF Garage Pro open front alignment lift has no cross beam in the front of the lift. The front crossbeam has been known to produce a few headaches for alignment technicians that were not paying attention as they walked to their tool boxes.
The Atlas 14KOF Garage Pro open front alignment lift has 2 wheel alignment wheel base capabilities of 218 inches. The Atlas 14KOF Garage Pro has built in slip plates and recessed areas in the runways to allow for turntables. This lift comes with protective steel plates covers that protect the turntables when they are not in use.
The single point lock release (air actuated) is conveniently located near the power unit.
How Do I Get My Stuff Off The Truck?:Many customers do not have access to loading docks and forklifts.
We have assembled some photos of our products being unloaded with and without the aid of a forklift. Many of our freight carriers have power tailgates on their delivery trucks. There may be an extra charge for the power tailgate, depending on the carrier. The power tailgate is normally rated at 1000 LB. capacity. This is not enough capacity to unload most of our lifts. However, when used properly (and safely), the power tailgate (in conjunction with some common sense) allows the customer to off load many of our products without the use of a forklift.
Watch our video on how to use a power tailgate to help you unload your product from a truck. Most truck shipments will be delivered by a commercial freight carrier operating a tractor/trailer rig. The semi trailer will be enclosed. Most commercial carriers have smaller straight trucks and some have small flatbed trucks, but the majority of freight companies will not use these smaller trucks for your delivery. Greg Smith Equipment cannot guarantee the type of truck that will be used for delivery. You should assume that your product will be delivered on a tractor/trailer rig that uses a 53 foot enclosed trailer. This is a VERY LONG rig. It is the truck driver's responsibility to make sure that your product is brought to the back of the delivery truck. It is the customer's responsibility to unload the product from the truck.
Watch our video on how to unload your two post or four post lift from a semi truck. Hydraulic Cable Method vs. The Chain Lifting Method:Certain competitors offer a four post lift with the "old-style" chain lifting method. The chain lifting method has many disadvantages when compared to the hydraulic cable method found on the Atlas 14KOF Garage Pro four post open front alignment lift.
The exposed hydraulic cylinder found on the chain style four post lifts is located between one of the front columns and the rear column. Certain competitors show a truck lifted on their "old style" chain lift. The truck is positioned so that the customer cannot see the hydraulic cylinder located between the columns. This hydraulic cylinder is responsible for many "door dings". The cylinder (whether located on the driver's side or the passenger's side) makes opening the vehicle doors very difficult.
Air Operated Double Lock:The AIR OPERATED lock system offers many more safety features than the locking system on other four post lifts.
Wide Fixed Runways:The Atlas 14KOF Garage Pro has very wide FIXED runways that will accommodate everything from a FORD F450 to a TRIUMPH TR 6. These FIXED runways offer a solid lifting platform for the
RJ-6000 rolling jacks that roll down the center of the lift. When the rolling jack is used to lift a vehicle “off” of the four post lift’s runways, there is an extreme downward force applied to the inside of both runways. The “old-style” chain 4-post lifts normally have one runway that is “moveable”. This “moveable” runway (when pressured with the downward force of a rolling jack) may easily “kick out” and allow the jack to become separated from the inside of the runway. If you own an old style chain four post lift, we would recommend that you “bolt down” the “moveable” runway to avoid an accident. The old style chain lifts have “moveable” runways because the width of their runways is narrower than the runways on an Atlas 14KOF Garage Pro open front four post alignment lift.
"Lock Ladder" Column Design System:The Atlas 14KOF Garage Pro has the same “lock ladder” column design system as the Atlas Garage Pro 8,000 , Pro Park 8 Plus, and Pro Park 9 Plus. The columns on our 8,000 LB., 9,000 LB., and 14,000 LB. four post lifts incorporate the “lock ladder” system which allows the customer to level the lift runways (both front to back and side to side), on floors that are not quite level. The “lock ladder” column system is the same column system found on professional grade lifts found in car dealerships and automotive service centers.
Double Lock System:The Atlas 14KOF Garage Pro incorporates the unique DOUBLE LOCK SYSTEM safety system into each of its four columns. The DOUBLE LOCK SYSTEM safety system is designed to ensure that if a lifting cable becomes slack (for any reason), the secondary locking mechanism automatically engages. This DOUBLE LOCK safety system is found only on other four post above ground lifts costing hundreds of dollars more than the Atlas 14KOF Garage Pro.
Installation:The Atlas 14KOF Garage Pro open front alignment above ground lift should be installed on a concrete floor. This concrete floor should have a minimum of four (4) inches of concrete with 3000 PSI strength.
Most of our above ground lift customers install their own car lifts. The average time to install the Atlas 14KOF Garage Pro open front alignment lift is six hours.
We provide detailed installation instructions with all our two post above ground lifts and our four post above ground lifts.
Parts:Greg Smith Equipment stocks a limited inventory of lift parts for all the lifts we sell. Lift parts and technical support personnel are available.
Certain competitors do not stock the lifts they advertise and do not stock any of the lift parts or accessories. Lifting a car is serious business.

Atlas RJ-6000:The Atlas RJ-6000 is a heavy duty rolling jack designed to lift and support 6,000 LB. The commercial grade RJ-6000 rolling jack can be used to raise the front or rear portion of a vehicle; allowing the operator of a four post above ground lift to perform wheel and brake service. Most commercial shops buy two of these hydraulic rolling jacks, so that the entire vehicle can be supported in the air at the same time.
The Atlas RJ-6000 has telescoping arms that can be extended over the runways of the four post lift. The lift pads at the end of these arms can be positioned under the LIFTING POINTS that are located over the runways of the four post lift. The Atlas RJ-6000 rolling bridge is equipped with expandable supports which adjust to fit many different brands of four post above ground lifts. These supports have a unique roller system that allows the rolling hydraulic jack to glide easily under the entire length of the vehicle. The large heavy steel wheels allow the rolling jack to be positioned under the correct lifting points in a matter of seconds.
The Atlas Atlas RJ-6000 comes standard with a set of peg style truck adapters which increases the lifting height of the lift pads. These truck adapters will allow the Atlas RJ-6000 rolling hydraulic jack to raise most pick up and larger trucks that will sit higher than the average passenger car.
The Atlas RJ-6000 can be equipped with an optional
Atlas Deluxe Air/Hydraulic Pump. The air/hydraulic pump would require a supply of compressed air (air compressor) to work properly.
The Atlas RJ-6000 rolling hydraulic jack features two solid locking positions that are used when the vehicle is to be suspended above the runways. When the locking positions of the Atlas RJ-6000 are engaged, the hydraulic pressure from the lifting cylinder of the jack is eliminated. (These locks act much like a pair of jack stands after you lift a vehicle off the ground with a service jack).
Atlas EDGE 101:The Atlas Edge 101 is a highly accurate, easy to use, state of the art wireless alignment system. The Atlas Edge 101 is the perfect choice for those smaller automotive shops that perform only a few alignments per week. The accuracy of the Atlas Edge 101 is on par with alignment systems costing 5 times as much.
The four sensors communicate with each other and the console using the wireless communication technology
ZigBee ® and I/R. The Atlas Edge 101 includes a compact wheeled cabinet with built in cable/desktop charging units. The Atlas Edge 101 also includes a 22 inch color monitor, keyboard, CPU with alignment database, color printer. Also included are two (2) self centering four point wheel clamps (used for the main sensors and two (2) rapid clamps that are used for the target sensors. The Atlas Edge 101 delivers an easy to use wireless communication system and a "dead nut" accurate measurement system at an unbelievable price.
Camera and Target Sensors:The main sensors have two cameras installed in each sensor. The target sensors have no cameras but are equipment with special targets that reflect the I/R signal.
Two wheel alignment is performed by attaching the main sensors to the front wheels and hanging the target sensors from the rear wheels.
Four wheel alignment is performed by (first) hanging the main sensors on the rear wheels and the target sensors on the front wheels. Those measurements are recorded (in the computer system) and the operator then moves the main sensors to the front wheels and the target sensors to the rear wheels. Those measurements are recorded and the operator can then begin to make adjustments based upon total "4-wheel alignment" measurements.
The Edge 101 provides an "8 camera" measurement system with only four cameras and delivers the same accuracy as any of the other Edge machines.
Protect Your Atlas Edge Wheel Aligner With Battery Backup And Surge Protection! Infrared CCD Image Recognition And Measurement Technology: The high precision infrared CCD image recognition and measurement technology self-adapts to ambient light. Additional sensor cables are provided that could be used to connect the sensors in the unlikely event of a ZigBee ® communication interruption or battery failure.
ZigBee ® Wireless Communication Technology:New generation
ZigBee ® wireless communication technology replaces the outdated Bluetooth ® technology, with stronger networking capacity, greater reliability, lower energy-consumption and faster data transmission over longer distances.
Customer Vehicle Alignment Database:Customer vehicle alignment database allows the operator to note and review alignment history, and optimize alignment steps and key points. Vehicle database updates are provided by the internationally authoritative Auto Data ® CO. which include over 20,000 car models worldwide. This vehicle data alignment base may be updated on an annual basis for $200. The data can be uploaded over the Internet, so there is no need to pay for a service call.
Four (4) wheel and two (2) wheel alignment:The main sensors incorporate two cameras in each sensor. The target sensors have no cameras. When performing a two wheel alignment, the main (camera sensors) are installed on the front wheels and the target sensors are installed on the rear wheels.
When performing a four wheel alignment, the target sensors are (first) installed on the front wheel and the main sensors are installed on the rear wheels. The readings are recorded and then the sensors are reversed, with the main sensors installed on the front wheels and the target sensors installed on the rear wheels. This alignment procedure is a little more time consuming than the Atlas Edge 201 (hyperlink) procedure, but the accuracy is the same. Instead of using eight (8) cameras to obtain the necessary readings (in the beginning), the operator is using four (4) cameras in two different positions to obtain the same measurements.
Jack-Hold Program:Data freezing (jack-hold) program allows the operator to record the vehicle's current measurements and factory recommended specifications into the computer (while the vehicles tires are on the runways), then raise the vehicle (with the rolling jacks) off the runways to make the necessary adjustments or replace the parts. When the vehicle is lowered back onto the runway, the "new" measurements are compared (immediately) to the factory specifications. This allows the operator to make the necessary adjustments while the vehicle is still in the "alignment mode" and not create measurement variances.
Languages:Currently there are 14 languages included in the software. English, Spanish, German, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Czechoslovakian, Korean, Croatian, Greek, Portuguese, and Serbian. More languages will be added (no cost) in 2012.
Self-Diagnosis and Calibration:Self-diagnosis function is included with this alignment system. Sensors can perform self diagnostic procedure (in the field). Operator is able to check sensors and restore factory settings easily. The sensors can be calibrated by the operator (in the field) by using the factory calibration bar. (Optional)
4-point wheel clamp compensation:Vehicle must be raised and wheel rotated 180° (each direction) to perform the wheel clamp lateral run-out compensation procedure.
Remote Technical Support:Use your Internet access to either update your software or diagnose software issues with your Edge alignment equipment. Greg Smith Equipment recommends that our customers install TeamViewer ® (free) on their alignment computer system. Our IT department can access your computer and resolve most issues during your "non-business" hours. We "take control" of the customer's alignment system and can install new software or update any previously installed software.
The "remote" technician can also diagnose and correct just about any issue without the need for "hands on" (expensive and time sensitive) service call.
Most customers have high-speed hard wired Internet or wireless Internet at either their business or home. In some instances, the alignment sensors will need to be attached to the alignment system during a "remote" software update or diagnostic session. This situation would require that the TeamViewer ® be accessed (through the Internet) at the business location. However, several software updates may require only the CPU to be accessed. The customer (if he does not have Internet at the shop) may remove his CPU from the alignment machine and take it to a location that has high speed Internet service.
Calibration and Compensation for use on an non-level surface:Alignments may be performed on almost any just about any four post lift or even on a fairly level floor.
Lift height variations are entered into the sensor heads and the software will compensate for the difference between the heights. This feature allows the operator to take alignment measurements from longer wheel base vehicles that may not fit on the alignment rack.
System may be used without a computer, monitor, keypad or printer:Operator may complete a four (4) wheel or two (2) wheel alignment without the use of an external computer. The sensor computers will display current measurements of the vehicle and operator may compare those "live" measurements with factory measurements. The operator can adjust the vehicles suspension system and validate his new adjustments with the sensors.
Perfect for onsite portable alignments:The Atlas Edge 101 is perfect for the race car enthusiast who wants to make "race track" adjustments in the field. The battery powered Edge 101 sensors do not require electricity, so the customer can take the machine to remote locations and perform on-site alignments.
