Automotive Lift Institute Releases 2026 Vehicle Lifting Points Guide

Automotive Lift Institute has released its 2026 Lifting Points Guide, Vehicle Lifting Points for Frame Engaging Lifts, according to a recent press release.

Produced annually by MOTOR Information Systems exclusively for ALI, the Lifting Points Guide includes OEM-recommended lifting points for most cars, SUVs, vans and light trucks sold in the United States and Canada from 2000 through 2026. 

The guide is updated annually to reflect the latest vehicle specs, and brings together lifting points from across vehicle manufacturers. Lifting points are shown in more than 250 undercarriage images, with the guide offered in both digital and print editions.

Under the current edition of ANSI/ALI ALOIM, professional shops are required to make vehicle lifting points information available to technicians. ALI has aimed to meet this requirement with its Lifting Points Guide. The digital edition allows for online access on up to three devices, with no third-party software required.

“When you’re using a two-post lift or another frame-engaging lift, your safety depends on properly picking up the vehicle,” said R.W. “Bob” O’Gorman, ALI president. “That means using the right lift with the appropriate adapters positioned as directed by the vehicle manufacturer. Our Lifting Point Guide illustrates where to place the adapters and includes any additional guidance provided by the OEM for specific vehicles.”
