I'm a professional mechanic, what size 2 post car lift do you recommend for my shop or in my home garage?
For professional as well as home use, we recommend the BendPak XPR-10S Two post-Symmetric Clearfloor Lift with a 10,000lb capacity.
Should I be concerned about building requirements if I install my own 2 post car lift?
Yes, as the thickness of the concrete is imperative to support the installation of your new two-post car lift. The minimum thickness should be around 4 inches for regular capacity. The higher the weight capacity needed for two-post car lifts, then the thicker the concrete you will need.
Existing concrete floors should always be test drilled to verify the minimum floor thickness needed according to the two-post car lifts manufacturers requirements and a core sample should be obtained to test for compressive strength.
We always advise installing only on concrete, never on hand-mixed concrete to ensure maximum safety and proper installation.
What 2 post car lift is best?
The Challenger LE10 ALI-ETL Certified Versymmetric Two Post Car Lift with a capacity of 10,000 lb is one of the best 2 post lifts on the market today.
How much does a 2-post lift cost?
Depending on how many lbs capacity you are looking for, a two-post car lift is generally $2000.
What is a two-post lift?
A two-post above the ground lift is designed to lift cars and trucks for easy access to wheels and the underside of a vehicle. A two-post is normally mounted to an existing concrete surface, such as your garage floor.
Two-post lifts consist of two upright columns with four adjustable arms attached to a carriage assembly, two hydraulic cylinders, electric/hydraulic power unit and a variety of hoses, pulleys, and cables.
How much space do you need for a 2-post lift?
Optimal clearance height should be 11 to 12 feet, and at least two feet of space between the posts, your vehicle, and the sidewalls of your garage. Any less and you may find yourself struggling to move around your vehicle when it's on the lift so double-check the size of the two-post lift you're considering with the size of your garage.
How thick does the concrete need to be for a car lift?
Minimal concrete depth required for a two-post above ground lift is four inches.
If you're looking to use a two-post lift that can lift 12,000lbs or more, thicker concrete will be needed. Always refer to your two-post car lifts manufacturers manual to ensure you have the correct concrete thickness for your car lift before installation.
Are two post lifts safe?
As one of the most popular lifts in the world, as long as you carefully follow the requirements for safe installment, follow safety regulations while using it, and use your car lift properly, they are extremely safe and very reliable. These facts remain true regardless of brand. Bad decisions are most often the cause of two-post car lift accidents.
Which is better 2 post or 4 post lift?
Which car lift, two-post or 4-post will depend on a few things.
Which one is right for you will ultimately be up to you, your budget, and space which you can work with.
How do you level a 2-post lift?
If your floor is already perfectly level, then pay attention to the column plumbness. But the most important aspect is always confirming that the frame contact pads are equal.
If you have a slight pitch to the floor, and you plumb your columns to a sloped floor, your pads are going to be unlevel. This is extremely unsafe. To level a 2 post car lift your options would be as follows:
