Two-Post Lift (Vehicle Lift)
A two-post lift is a workshop lift with two columns and arms that raise the car by its lifting points.
What is Two-Post Lift (Vehicle Lift)?
It leaves the wheels free, so they can be removed. Arms must be positioned at the manufacturer’s lift points. Electric and hybrid cars have specific lift points to avoid the battery. Four-post lifts are an alternative for storage and wheel alignment, as the car stands on its wheels.
How it works
Hydraulic or electric drives raise the arms evenly up the columns.
Why it matters for your car
Incorrect arm positions can damage the floor or battery pack. Lifts need regular safety inspections.
