Filler Plate Kit (FC5974BL) — convert your alignment runway to a smooth, flat drive surface
When an alignment bay is doing double duty (general service + alignments), the open runway recess can slow techs down, collect debris, and create an uneven drive path. The Filler Plate Kit (FC5974BL) solves that by filling the radius gauge recess with a smooth, flat surface when alignment equipment isn’t in use—so vehicles roll on/off cleanly and your bay stays more consistent from job to job.
This kit is a pair of long-recess filler plates designed for Rotary Lift®, Forward Lift®, and Direct Lift® branded lift families that use the long runway recess (17-1/2″ opening).
Why shop owners & service managers buy it
- Faster bay turnover: less time “babysitting” vehicles over an open recess
- Cleaner SOP: reduces debris buildup in the recess area
- Better day-to-day usability: turns an alignment runway into a more general-purpose service runway when needed
- Safety & consistency: smoother drive path for techs and vehicles (especially for quick in/out jobs)
Key Features
- Part type: Filler Plate Kit (Long Recess), PAIR (2 pieces)
- Purpose: fills the radius gauge recess on alignment lift runways to create a flat surface
- Fit style: for lifts with long recess / 17-1/2″ opening
- OEM reference: FC5974BL (commonly listed as a genuine OEM Rotary part)
Compatibility Notes (important)
- Designed for specific Rotary Lift®, Forward Lift®, and Direct Lift® alignment-lift models that use the long runway recess format (17-1/2″ opening).
- If you’re unsure whether your runway recess is “long,” measure the opening or confirm against your lift’s parts list before ordering. (There are similar filler-plate kits for other recess sizes.)
Don’t confuse this with FA5974 (“Wheel Wing”)
FC5974BL is a runway recess filler plate kit for alignment lifts. It is not the FA5974 Wheel Wing Kit, which is a tire/wheel holding accessory.
