Vehicle Lifting Points 

Some vehicles may have the manufacturer

’s Service Garage Lift Point locations identified by triangle 

shape marks on its undercarriage (reference SAE J2184). There may also be a label located on the 
right front door lock face showing specific vehicle lift points. If the specific vehicle lift points are not 
identified, please refer to the 

“Typical Lift Points” illustration below or the ALI/LP Guide - Vehicle 

Lifting Points / Quick Reference Guide included with your lift.  Consider center of gravity, contents of 
vehicle and weight shifting before operating. 
 
Make sure the vehicle is neither front nor rear heavy. If the specific vehicle lift points are not 
identified, or if the vehicle has additional or uniquely positioned payload, have a qualified person 
calculate the vehicle center of gravity or have the vehicle center of gravity determined at a vehicle 
scale. Load the vehicle with the center of gravity midway between adapters. 
 
Unusual vehicles, such as limousines, RVs, and long wheelbase vehicles, may not be suitable for 
lifting on this equipment.  
 
If necessary, consult with your iDEAL Automotive Equipment representative or contact the vehicle 
manufacturer.
