One of the most necessary and useful items to have in the field of auto mechanic work is an auto lift. A lift is not only convenient to have but it also allows you to have the most ideal vantage point for the areas underneath a car that you will need to have access to on a regular basis.
There are many types of lifts. Among these types, including four and even six post lifts, is the two post lift. A two post lift is a modest solution to meeting most of your regular basis types of lifting needs, and will more surely than not fit into most garages because of its size.
It is important to know you garage dimensions prior to a purchase, however, because not only would it be difficult to fit a significantly large lift into a shop, but it would be costly to alter the lift to fit inside the garage as well. Make a note to yourself beforehand to not become overzealous during a purchase.
This particular two post lift is eleven feet and eight inches high, with extensions lifting it either two or three feet higher, which allows it to fit inside most standard shop sizes being twelve feet high.
Also, there are three stage front arms and three stage rear arms that ultimately are made to provide the best arm sweep, which enables the lift to raise a vehicle at a wider variety of pickup points than most other similar lifts.
This is nice because you do not need to be as concerned with finding the one exact spot to raise the vehicle; rather, there are multiple positioning points allowing for an easy yet secure lift.
Other features that make this lift as valuable as it is are that it comprises a 48 inch carriage design, which decreases the load on bearing, an over- sized five inch diameter pulley, which reduces stress on the equalization system and also increases cable life, and it also has double telescoping screw pads that adjust to multiple heights, minimizing the need for additional and costly adapters.
This two post lift features an exclusive technology that allows it to be versatile in such a way to be able to lift vehicles symmetrically or asymmetrically within the same service bay. This design allows virtually any vehicle to be serviced, facilitating increased efficiency and revenue potential.
A padded overhead shut off system prevents any potential vehicle damage, and rubber foot pads minimize stress to vehicles with delicate undercoatings. In reference to operation, a single-point mechanical lock release system allows a technician to disengage both columns simultaneously.
The base of this two post lift has a fully gusseted plate design so that column deflection is reduced.
Among the many features that make this two post lift exceed the expectations placed on it are its safety assurance. Becoming a member of the automotive lift institute is not an easy feat, let alone building a machine that will pass their notoriously high safety inspections.
Because this brand of lift is a member of the ALI and their lifts have passed their certification along with ETL certifications, you are guaranteed the two post lift is made to be as safe as can be.
The best way to determine whether or not the two post lift is the best option out there for the type of lifting you are needing to do is this- measure the physical dimensions of the biggest and smallest vehicles you are going to lift, decide what the heaviest is that you will want to lift, how closely the vehicle runs to the ground, and whether or not you will want to easily move your vehicle lift around on casters.
