The Automotive Lift Institute, Inc., (ALI) was founded in 1945 as the trade association of U.S. manufacturers of in-ground lifts. By 1988 ALI welcomed members from Canada as well as North American based marketers of automotive lifts produced and distributed globally.

ALI, in cooperation with the National Bureau of Standards, sponsored the first standard
governing vehicle lifts (CS142) in 1945. Today’s Institute remains diligent with regard to lift safety as a primary activity and pursues a mission of promoting the safe design, construction, installation and use of automotive lift products.
