Two-Post Car Lift Saves Garage Space
 ✖  |
Tool Warehouse Inc. sells two-post vehicle lifts that allow space-efficient storage in small garages and make it easier to get underneath them for at-home mechanic work. These lifts can eliminate the daily “vehicle shuffle” by preventing cars from parking each other in.
While four-post lifts are more common, two-post lifts are gaining traction. They’re mounted into the floor and use metal arms to support the weight of each vehicle. The primary drawback is that fewer supports mean less room for error when using them. The lifts only work if you correctly identify the right lifting points, which vary between vehicles. In other words, they require more precision to use. Two-post car lifts also need a sturdy floor for installation - usually at least 4 to 5 in. thick. A car lift installer can check first to ensure the concrete is thick enough to handle the lift’s weight.
Four-post lifts, in contrast, require less precision, as all four vehicle wheels are supported by a post of the lift platform. However, they give less access to the vehicle’s underside and consequently won’t work as well for at-home repairs. They also weigh significantly more and can be a challenge to install.
The TWI Proline Service Storage two-post lift supports up to 6,000 lbs. with a lifting height of 85 in. It’s a standard two-post chain-over cylinder operation built with a solid platform for easy parking. The handheld pendant control allows users to raise and lower the lift, and safety latches come with electronic limit switches. It’s powered by 220v or 2.2 hp. and has chain equalization for superior stability. Overall dimensions are 130 7/8 in. high, 104 in. wide, and 2,700 lbs. You can purchase the lift from the company website for $4,999.99. Note that you might need to upgrade your garage to handle the TWI lift’s 220V motor. Four-post lifts are also available, starting at $6,399.
