The Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) is a trade association comprised of US and Canadian manufacturers
and certain national distributors of automotive lifts. For almost 50 years, the ALI in cooperation with
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has continued to sponsor the national standard
ANSI/ALI ALCTV:2011 "Safety Requirements for Construction, Testing, and Validation for
Automotive Lifts.”
The new "ALI/ETL Automotive Lift Certification Program" is based on ALI developed methods and
criteria for third party testing of automotive lifts to validate conformance with ANSI/ALI ALCTV:2011.
For automotive lifts to be certified, manufacturers must execute an agreement with the ALI and ETL /
Intertek Testing Services and must meet certain requirements:
♦ Must be structurally tested in accordance with the test requirements as outlined in ANSI/ALI
ALCTV:2011.
♦ All motor operated units must be listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL) in
accordance with ANSI/UL-201.
♦ The manufacturer's production facility must meet quality control requirements as set forth in the
ANSI Z34.1-1987 and the ALI/ETL Automotive Lift Certification Program Procedural Guide.
♦ All manufacturer-provided instructions, manuals, and operator safety documents, must meet the
requirements of the ANSI/ALI ALCTV:2011 and ANSI/UL-201.
Lifts meeting these rigid requirements may be listed in the directory of certified lifts and be labeled with
the "ALI/ETL certification mark" (Above on right), and, if applicable, the ETL listing mark to
ANSI/UL-201.
Mohawk has been a long-standing member of ALI and most of Mohawk’s popular models are currently
listed and certified. Other Mohawk models are in various stages of testing. To obtain a complete and
