Two post lifts

The two-post lift is the default in a general repair shop because it leaves the underside open. The arms swing under the vehicle, the pads pick up the jacking points, and the technician works standing up. That access is why the format survives alongside scissor and four-post designs: nothing sits between the operator and the transmission tunnel.

On this range the rated capacity is 4 tonnes, the lifting height 1850 mm — 1820 mm on one heavy-duty variant — and the minimum height 110 mm. That 110 mm figure matters more than it looks: it is what lets a low car roll over the arms without ramps. The drive is a 2.2 kW hydraulic power unit on 220 V or 380 V, with single-cylinder and double-cylinder variants in the range.

Column height follows the lifting height, so check the ceiling before choosing: an 1850 mm lift needs clear height above the carriage, not just above the roof of the car. Unlocking is manual on the standard build, with a double-sided release on the gantry variant so both columns release from one working position.

Delivery and terms

The lift bolts to a concrete slab of adequate thickness and compressive strength — this is the single most common installation failure in the trade, and it is not covered by warranty. Confirm slab depth, reinforcement and the anchor specification before pouring or drilling.
