When looking for the right lift for your garage or shop, feel free to contact one of our experts at They're known for their sturdy posts and supportive stabilization arms. These lifts are a more cost-effective alternative for amateurs and smaller repair shops.
They also leave a smaller footprint than their 4 post counterparts. We carry a wide variety but before we show you what we have in stock, we'd like to briefly go over the different types of 2 post lifts.
Symmetrical lifts are easier to identify because their posts face each other directly. Asymmetrical lifts have swing arms that are not the same length in the front and back and have a rotated post design. Versymmetrical lifts provide users with the ability to take advantage of being both asymmetric and symmetric.
This allows you to reap the benefits of both types of lifts. Versymmetric two post lifts are capable of lifting all 20 of the most popular service vehicles. Other types of two-post lifts include overhead lifts and floorplate lifts.
Overhead lifts have the hydraulic hose and equalization cables running through the top of the lift. While such cables run on the bottom in floorplate lifts. Our team of experts can also set you up with an installer for your lift. Be sure to ask us about our installation packages. Scroll down to see all of our two post lifts.

Features Dual direct drive hydraulic cylinders made to high Usually, you have to position the lift about 13 feet away from the door. This way you can have enough space to drive the car inside the shop and not have it sticking out of the back door when you have it elevated. Once you have decided where you want to install the two columns. At this point, all you have to do is place the two columns and align them with the chalk line. These columns are heavy so be sure to have an assistant aid you.
The way you position the two columns will vary depending on if you buy either a Symmetrical lift or an Asymmetrical lift. Some manufacturers like Bendpak , have both models. Whereas Challenger Lifts has their own version of the Asymmetrical lift called the Versymmetrical Lift. Again, the instruction manual that comes with the lift will explain exactly how you should position depending on which lift you get.
If you have any questions about any of these models please give us a call at and we would be more than happy to explain how these work. Follow this chart for now to give you an idea of how to place the columns on the floor:. Next comes the drilling. This will make a lot of noise and a lot of dust.
Make sure you wear a dust mask and earplugs if you're sensitive to those types of elements. Most techs won't have this issue but to be sure. Make sure you have the correct depth. Certain lifts need a certain depth depending on the lifting capacity of the lift.
Use this chart to give you a better idea of how deep you should drill. Using the existing holes in the base plate as a guide for drilling, drill the holes of the main side column first and then do the other one. Use your hammer drill to make the holes. Go up and down until the hole is cleared and at the end blow on the hole so you can remove any dust to increase holding power.
Once the holes are made, place the bolts in the holes but do not tighten yet. First, tap the bolts with a hammer until the washer rests against the base plate like so:. With a level, make sure that the column is evenly placed and there is no side to side plumb or front to front plum.
If there is, fix it with a couple of horseshoe shims until the column is balanced. Once you have the column leveled, tighten them at 85 ft-lbs. When you have secured the power side column, start working on the offside column, this will be easier and more efficient. Follow the steps again to install the second column.
Once you have both columns secured, you can then move to install the Top Trough Assembly. This is a simple procedure and most of the time you will either need a forklift to raise the bar or you can also raise it with two ladders and two men on each side. Once placed on top make sure you tighten the bolts.
Then you will have the structure and hardest part of the lift already set up. Make sure that if the anchor bolts have become loose while you were tightening the top bar, tighten them again. Next, we have to install the hydraulic power unit itself.
Even though the hydraulic unit is a little heavy, you can install it with the help of someone else. Usually, the unit will come with a Vibration dampener and this must be placed between the Hydraulic unit and the column.
Once you have installed the hydraulic unit, you can fill the unit with hydraulic oil, you will need approximately four gallons. The next thing that you have to do is install the safeties, safety cables, hydraulic lines, power unit hoses, and routing the equalizer cables. Depending on what kind of lift you bought, the installations for these items are always going to be different.
However, for most lifts, you always have to install the safety cables through the cylinders in the columns and through the top bar of the lift. And the same thing goes for the hydraulics lines and power unit hoses. So please read the installation manual and follow the advice step by step.
They will direct you exactly on how to install each cable and where it needs to go. One mistake and you might have to redo all your work again. Last but not least, you have the lift arms. This is usually a very simple procedure. All you have to do is place the lift arms in the correct position and slide the headpins in.
Once they are inside and through the holes in the Arm Assembly. Install the Snap Ring into the groove in the lift the headpin on the underside of the lift head.
