How Does A 4 Post Car Lift Work

Looking to transform your garage and unlock valuable storage space? Let us introduce you to the power of a 4 post car lift. Ideal for storing expensive camping trailers, lawnmowers, car trailers and, of course, your vehicles, this multifunctional storage solution is gaining popularity worldwide. So let’s dive right in and take a look at how a 4 post car lift actually works and the benefits it brings for both homeowners and commercial facilities. 

AMGO Certified Car Lifts 

We represent AMGO, with manufacturing facilities in China and the US. AMGO car lifts have all the necessary certifications, including vehicle lift CE certificates, which legitimise their use for vehicle repair lifts. For those looking to invest in this type of space spacing solution, be wary of companies that do not provide property certification documents, as this can jeopardise the quality of car lift you purchase. 

 Exploring the Space-Saving Benefits of a 4 Post Car Lift

One of the most significant advantages of using a 4 post car lift in your garage is the enormous space-saving gains that can be had. Traditional storage methods often consume valuable floor space, but by utilising a vertical car lift for garage storage, you effectively double your storage area within the same footprint instantly. This can be particularly advantageous in smaller garages, where space is at a premium.

Not Just for Cars: Expanding Storage Options

Despite the name, the utility of a car lift extends far beyond vehicles. Its robust design and sturdy structure make it a safe and secure storage solution for a variety of items. Expensive trailers, bulky camping equipment, lawnmowers, motorcycles, and even bicycles can find a secure home on a 4 post car lift. This added versatility transforms the car lift from a luxury item to a practical necessity for any homeowner with diverse storage needs.

Mitigating the Risk of Flooding with a Car Lift

Moreover, a 4 post car lift can prove invaluable in areas prone to flooding. Raising vehicles or other valuable items off the ground and onto the lift can provide a crucial line of defense against water damage. Especially for car enthusiasts or those with precious equipment, a car lift can be the difference between preserving your prized possessions and suffering significant loss. A car lift for garage isn't just a convenience; in certain circumstances, it can be an essential part of safeguarding your investments.

Introducing the E4G A430-P 4 Post Car Lift

At Equipment4garages, we're excited to announce that AMGO has revamped their 4 post car lift range keeping the British car enthusiast in mind. AMGO has now introduced the E4G 430-P and E4G 430-HP, designed with a smaller footprint than most 4 post car lifts for garages, meaning more customers can have them installed at home.

The E4G 430-P has dimensions of 2409mm width and 3877mm length (without ramps) and an underneath height of 1772mm. The E4G 430-HP is identical in width and length but has an underneath height of 2102mm.

New features include a hidden power source behind the post for better access, and now the ramps can be folded for convenience. 

Top Tip: Remove the ramps when the car lift is not in use to avoid accidental head bumps, even though they are painted in a noticeable yellow.

Notably, these 4 post car lifts can also be used as service lifts as they meet the EN1493 service lift standards, unlike standard parking lifts. If you're planning to use your car lift for service, a jacking beam or a jack tray can be fitted to lift sections of the car.

Over the years, I've seen numerous parking car lifts and found varied quality levels. AMGO's 4 post car lifts have addressed quality concerns with features like double safety lock, ladders within the post for equal height adjustment on all 4 posts, and proper certification. Should there be any doubts, you can verify the certificate's authenticity with the GEA (Garage Equipment Association).

Lastly, AMGO offers a generous warranty on their range of car lifts:

- 5 years: Steel structured components

- 3 years: Hydraulic parts and bronze pulley bushes

- 2 years: Electrical components and cable

So, revamp your garage with a 4 post car lift for maximum storage potential! Feel free to contact our team on; info@equipment4garages.com or give us a call on 01727 875695.
