Automotive Lift Institute Lifting Points Guide 2025 Now Available

The Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) announced the availability of the 2025 edition of its Lifting Points Guide, “Vehicle Lifting Points for Frame Engaging Lifts.” The guide may be ordered as a digital product or bundled with a print version.

Both the print and digital versions carry the identical content covering model year 2000 to 2025 cars, SUVs, vans, light-duty trucks and EVs sold in the U.S. and Canada. ALI says the guide is aimed at making it easy for lift operators to find the OEM-recommended lifting points (also called “lift points,” “jack points” or “jacking points”) for thousands of vehicles.

“The guide is very handy for technicians and home mechanics because most lifting points aren’t marked on the vehicle and they may change from model year to model year as the OEMs redesign vehicles or components,” says R.W. “Bob” O’Gorman, ALI president. “That’s why it’s important to look them up. And that’s where ALI’s Lifting Point Guide comes in.”

The ALI-sponsored Lifting Points Guide is updated annually to reflect the latest vehicle specs with lifting points showcased in more than 250 undercarriage images, the organization notes.

Each purchase provides online access on up to three devices. Users can customize the view with magnification, choice of light or dark mode or go full screen.

ALI’s Vehicle Lifting Points for Frame Engaging Lifts guide is available for purchase and immediate use on their website.
