What is a 2 Post Vehicle Lift?

We’re not just lifting vehicles; we’re raising standards. Join us, and let’s reach new heights together.

How far apart should 2 post lifts be?
It is advised that a minimum gap of two feet or 600mm be maintained between the bases of the posts on two-post car lifts, as well as between any vehicles being elevated on these lifts.

This spacing is crucial not only for practical reasons, such as providing sufficient room to navigate around vehicles being serviced simultaneously, but also for health and safety considerations. Specifically, a clearance of at least 600mm is essential to allow fire brigade personnel to move between vehicles on the lift while wearing full breathing apparatus.

How much ceiling height do you need for a 2 post lift?
Typically, installing a standard full-rise 2 post car lift requires a minimum ceiling height of 11 feet, or approximately 3400mm. This clearance is essential to accommodate the full vertical movement of the lift when it's raising a vehicle to its maximum height.

Adequate ceiling height ensures that vehicles can be lifted safely without any risk of contact with the ceiling, allowing mechanics to perform repairs and inspections comfortably. Furthermore, this space is necessary to facilitate proper lighting and ventilation above the lifted vehicle, enhancing both the functionality and safety of the work environment.

What are Symmetrical and Asymmetrical 2 Post Car Lifts?
Symmetrical and asymmetrical 2 post car lifts differ primarily in arm configuration and vehicle positioning. A symmetrical 2 post car lift features arms of identical length, positioning the vehicle centrally between the two arms on each side, which results in an even distribution of the vehicle's weight across the lifting arms. In contrast, an asymmetrical 2 post car lift has uneven arm lengths on either side.

This design allows the vehicle to be positioned further back on the lift, with a greater portion of the vehicle's weight supported by the rear arm on each side. The advantage of this setup is that it facilitates easier access to the vehicle's doors, allowing them to be opened without interference from the lift's columns, thus improving access to the interior for maintenance or repairs.

How thick should concrete be for a 2 post car lift?
We advise that the concrete depth for installing a two-post car lift should ideally range from 150mm (6 inches) to 250mm (10 inches). While some lift manufacturers and installation engineers might suggest a minimum depth of 100mm (4 inches) of concrete, the substantial weight and force exerted by a 2-post lift at its floor bolts and base necessitate a more substantial concrete foundation. Therefore, opting for a deeper concrete base is recommended to ensure stability and durability.

How often must 2 post car lifts be serviced?
Before their initial use, all two-post car lifts must undergo a detailed inspection by a qualified individual, as mandated by HSE803/69. This inspection could be conducted by the company responsible for installing the garage equipment.

Additionally, a comprehensive service of the two-post car lift is necessary after any 'exceptional circumstances.' These could include damage from incorrect usage, the need for repairs or replacements due to failing components, incidents following a lift malfunction or collapse, and after extended periods of operation.

What needs to be inspected regularly on a two post car lift?
Your monthly inspection of a 2 post car lift should encompass the following assessments: Ensure that all moving components, such as ropes, chains, rollers, and carriage pins, are well-lubricated and functioning smoothly without any seizing. Verify that all floor anchor bolts are securely tightened. Confirm that the hydraulic fluid levels are adequately topped up using the appropriate specified lubricant. Check that all electrical connections are intact and operational, with no wires exposed. Inspect for any obstacles, blockages, or extraneous materials that might impede the proper functioning of the 2 post lift's moving parts.
