How do I know which car lift I should buy?
This is a common question our customers ask when looking to purchase an automotive lift (car lift). They are usually deciding between a 2 post lift or a 4 post lift. The main factor to consider when deciding on your lift purchase is "What am I using this lift for".
Well to help with your decision, below we have highlighted a few questions to ask yourself?
If storing a car or portability sounds like the task you are most likely to be using a lift for, then the four post lift is highly recommended. A four post lift is able to support an entire car or truck much better than a two post lift. The four post lifts are more like a bed being able to support the entire vehicle. A four post lift is also designed for portability and most come with a free caster kit. Not only is the four post lift portable with the use of the casters, but you can also permanently anchor the lift to your floor. As for power, four post lifts generally feature a 110 volt motor and easy installation because no special wiring is required.
If repair and maintenance is what you are looking to do with your lift, then the 2 post lift is for you. The two post car lift are the most inexpensive lift for raising vehicles with heavy weights, whereas the four post lifts require an auxiliary lift at an extra cost. These lifts allows you to have access to all parts of the vehicle for repairs and service including easy access to your wheels. The two post lifts will raise your car higher in a low ceiling garage. If you have a 10 foot ceiling, a two post lift will raise most vehicles to about 6 feet of the ground. Not as portable as the four post lifts, the 2 post lifts MUST be anchored to the ground. And as for power, two post lifts come with a 220 volt single phase motor.
