The CAV SA-5.0U In-Floor Alignment Scissor Lift is a heavy-duty lifting solution engineered for workshops that service larger vehicles alongside standard passenger cars. With a 5 Ton (11,000 lbs) lifting capacity, this flush-mounted in-floor lift confidently handles cars, SUVs, full-size vans, light trucks, and commercial vehicles. CAV equips the SA-5.0U with built-in slip plates for precise wheel alignment work, and optional turntables are available for full alignment capability. The air operated single-point lock release simplifies the lowering process, while multiple locking positions provide secure support at various working heights. A built-in secondary rise jack delivers an additional 480mm of lift for convenient wheel and tire service on heavier vehicles. The 5000mm platform length accommodates long-wheelbase vehicles with ease. For workshops seeking a high-capacity, space-efficient alignment lift that delivers professional results across a broad range of vehicles, the CAV SA-5.0U is a smart investment.
The CAV SA-5.0U is a premium in-floor alignment scissor lift engineered for workshops that demand both heavy-duty capacity and precision alignment capability. Its flush-mounted, in-floor installation is one of its most practical features. When the lift is retracted, the platforms sit level with the surrounding concrete floor at a minimum height of 360mm, creating a smooth, obstruction-free surface across the entire bay. This design eliminates trip hazards, allows vehicles to be driven over the lift area without obstruction, and gives the workshop a clean, professional appearance. The 5000mm platform length and 630mm platform width provide generous support for a wide range of vehicles, from standard passenger cars and SUVs to full-size vans, light trucks, and commercial vehicles with extended wheelbases.
The SA-5.0U delivers a maximum platform lifting height of 2100mm, providing full standing clearance for technicians working beneath the vehicle. This extra height is particularly valuable for heavier vehicles that require more underbody access for comprehensive inspections and repairs. The hydraulic lifting system features large diameter cylinders that provide powerful and reliable lifting performance, driven by a 3kW motor that raises the lift to full height in 50 to 60 seconds. The air operated single-point lock release system allows the operator to disengage the safety locks from a single convenient point, simplifying the lowering procedure and reducing operator fatigue. Multiple locking positions throughout the lifting range provide secure mechanical support at various heights, allowing technicians to choose the most comfortable working position for each specific task.
What truly sets the SA-5.0U apart as an alignment lift is the built-in slip plates. These plates allow the vehicle's wheels to move laterally during alignment adjustments, enabling precise toe, camber, and caster measurements. This built-in functionality eliminates the need for separate alignment accessories or portable slip plates, saving both setup time and workshop space. For workshops that require full alignment capability, turntables are available as an optional accessory, further expanding the lift's utility. The built-in secondary rise jack is another valuable feature that extends the lift's functionality, especially for heavier vehicles. With a lifting height of 480mm, this secondary jack allows technicians to lift individual wheels off the platforms for tire rotation, brake work, or wheel removal. The extra lifting height provides better access for servicing larger wheels and tires found on SUVs and light trucks. The jack is operated through the same pneumatic system, keeping the workspace uncluttered and the workflow efficient. The pneumatic release system operates at 0.6-0.8Mpa air pressure, providing consistent and reliable engagement.
Product highlights
In-Floor Flush-Mounted Installation
The in-floor design creates a completely flat bay surface when the lift is retracted. There are no raised ramps or base plates for technicians to trip over, and vehicles can be driven over the lift area without restriction. The clean, integrated appearance also projects a professional image for customer-facing facilities.
Heavy-Duty 5-Ton Capacity
The 5 Ton (11,000 lbs) capacity allows workshops to service full-size vans, light trucks, commercial vehicles, and large SUVs that exceed the limits of standard 3.5-ton lifts. This extra capacity expands the shop's customer base and provides a greater safety margin for heavier passenger vehicles.
Built-In Slip Plates
The integrated slip plates enable precise alignment measurements by allowing rear wheels to move laterally during adjustments. This built-in functionality saves setup time, eliminates the need for portable plates, and ensures consistent, repeatable results for alignment work.
Air Operated Single-Point Lock Release
The centralized lock release simplifies the lowering procedure, allowing technicians to maintain full control of the descent from one easy-to-reach point. The pneumatic operation provides smooth, consistent engagement every time.
Built-In Secondary Rise Jack
The secondary jack delivers 480mm of additional lift for individual wheels, making tire rotation, brake service, and wheel removal more efficient. The jack is integrated into the lift's design, eliminating the need for separate floor jacks and keeping the workspace organized.
5000mm Platform Length
The long platform ensures full support for long-wheelbase vehicles, including full-size vans and commercial vehicles. This improves stability and safety during alignment work and eliminates the overhang issues found with shorter platforms.
Optional Turntables
For workshops requiring full alignment capability, turntables are available as an option. They allow front wheels to pivot freely during alignment adjustments, enabling precise steering axis measurements.

The CAV SA-5.0U in-floor alignment scissor lift is a versatile and powerful tool for a wide range of professional automotive environments. Specialty alignment centers that service both passenger vehicles and commercial fleets will find the 5-ton capacity and 5000mm platform particularly valuable. The built-in slip plates and optional turntables enable precise toe, camber, and caster adjustments directly on the lift platform. The clean, flush-mounted design helps maintain a professional workshop appearance, which is particularly important for customer-facing alignment centers. Commercial vehicle service centers that handle vans, light trucks, and delivery vehicles benefit significantly from the SA-5.0U's heavy-duty capacity and long platform. The built-in secondary rise jack with 480mm lift height makes wheel removal and brake service more efficient on heavier vehicles, where physical lifting is more demanding. Tire and wheel service centers that handle a mix of passenger and commercial vehicles appreciate the lift's stable platforms and the convenience of the built-in secondary jack for tire rotations and replacements.
Automotive dealerships that service both passenger cars and commercial models can use the SA-5.0U as a single, versatile lift for alignment work, pre-delivery inspections, and routine service. The in-floor design is particularly well-suited to dealership environments where workshop appearance and customer perception are important. Independent repair shops that handle a wide variety of vehicles benefit from the lift's capacity and versatility. The ability to service everything from compact cars to full-size vans and light trucks on a single lift expands the shop's customer base and reduces the need for multiple lifts. The multiple locking positions and 2100mm full-rise height provide the flexibility needed for different types of tasks, while the built-in secondary jack streamlines wheel and tire service. Whether the task is a precise four-wheel alignment on a large SUV, a complete brake overhaul on a commercial van, a tire replacement on a light truck, or an underbody inspection on a passenger car, the CAV SA-5.0U provides the stable, precise, and space-efficient platform that modern workshops need to deliver quality service and maintain customer satisfaction.
