All You Need To Know About 2 Post Lifts
Introduction to 2 Post Lifts
One of the most popular types of vehicle lifts used by garages is the 2 post lift. Understanding the details and benefits of this type of lift can help you make an informed decision for your garage.
Structure and Types of 2 Post Lifts
Two post lifts consist of two large columns that bolt into the concrete floor, each with two arms attached. These arms can twist back and forth and contract in and out to reach the lifting points of the vehicle. There are two main types of 2 post lifts:
- Based Lifts:
- These have cables and hydraulic pipes running over the ground.
- Baseless (Clear Floor) Lifts:
- These have cables and hydraulic pipes running in a gantry over the top of the lift posts, reducing trip hazards and allowing free movement of other equipment under the vehicle.
Both based and baseless two post lifts can be further classified into:
- Symmetrical Lifts: Keep the vehicle centred on the lift.
- Asymmetrical Lifts: Keep the majority of the vehicle behind the posts, enabling the user to open the doors wider even after the vehicle is driven in between the columns.
Benefits of 2 Post Lifts
- Space Efficiency: 2 post lifts take up less space compared to other types of lifting equipment.
- Ease of Access: They make it extremely easy to work on brakes, wheels, shocks, springs, and more.
- Cost-Effective: 2 post lifts are a comparatively economical option for garages.
