OUTSIDE VEHICLE LIFTS:
SECTION 3
PREPARATION
HITCH ADAPTERS
The hitch adapter plugs into the vehicle’s trailer hitch
and acts as the interface between the lift and vehicle.
Hitch adapters are designed to serve the needs of
different vehicles.
Proper Measurement and
Selecting a Hitch Adapter
1.
Measure the bumper distance and the hitch
height. The bumper distance is the length from
the bolt hole of the trailer hitch to the rearmost
point on the vehicle. Hitch height is the distance
from the bottom of the hitch receiver to the
ground. Reference page 10 chart.
NOTE: The hitch class is usually imprinted directly on the
trailer hitch. You can also determine the hitch class by
measuring the inside of the receiver on the trailer hitch.
See Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2
NOTE: Some shallow hitches (for example, hitches
blocked by spare tires) may call for a short hitch adapter.
See Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3
The effective range of the hitch adapter varies slightly
if the lift is equipped with the standard AL107 hitch
post. See Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4
If the lift is equipped with a tail gate/hatch
accessibility option (either the AL105 or AL105L
swing-away). See Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5
If the measurement falls between two numbers
(for example, 181/2
"
), round up if the measurement
exceeds or equals 1/2
"
. Round down if the
measurement falls between two numbers equals less
than 1/2
"
. To find the correct orientation with hitch
post. See Figure 3-6.

To find the correct orientation with a swing-away.
