Choosing the Right Automotive Lift: 2 or 4 Post?

If you're in the market for a new automotive lift, you’ve probably spent some time trying to decide between a 2 post car lift and a 4 post car lift. In a perfect world, you would have the space and budget to accommodate both types of automotive lifts. Sometimes that isn’t an option, though.

Given that both types of lift offer distinct advantages, it’s important to
understand which option best suits your needs.

Benefits of Two Post Lifts

    Two post automotive lifts are best for tire, break and suspension work since the related components hang free.

    Two post car lifts must be securely anchored.

    Since the wheel assembly hangs below the lift arms instead of on top of
racks, two post lifts can generally raise the car higher in a low ceiling
garage.

    Two post lifts take up a smaller footprint in your workspace.

    Thanks to Quick Cycle technology available on many of our two post lifts, up and down time can be dramatically reduced – by as much as 42%.

Benefits of Four Post Lifts

    Four post automotive lifts are best for engine, transmission and exhaust
work since they are more stable on account of having twice the number of posts.

    Four post lifts are better suited for storage since the suspension can rest in its natural state instead of dangling free.

    Loading a vehicle on a four post lift is often considered easier since you
simply have to drive on to the racks.

The Verdict

Choosing the best lift for your garage is a highly personal decision with many
factors to take into consideration. You have to balance your needs, budget and
available space – among other things.

Are you tight on space? Is the majority of your work on tires, breaks or
suspensions? A 2 post lift is probably your best bet.

Are you interested in long-term storage? Do you work primarily on engines,
transmissions and exhausts? Look into 4 post lifts.
