Automotive Lift Institute Releases 2025 Edition of Lifting Points Guide

May 5, 2025
The 2025 edition of ALI's Lifting Points Guide provides over 250 undercarriage images showcasing proper lifting points for cars, SUVs, vans, light-duty trucks, and EVs.

The Automotive Lift Institute has released the 2025 edition of its lifting points guide, “Vehicle Lifting Points for Frame Engaging Lifts,” according to a press release.

Updated annually, the ALI-sponsored Lifting Points Guide aims to assist lift operators in finding OEM-recommended lifting points, with over 250 undercarriage images showcasing proper lifting points.

This year’s edition covers model year 2000 to 2025 cars, SUVs, vans, light-duty trucks, and EVs sold in the U.S. and Canada, and is offered digitally or bundled with a print version.

“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.”
