All Lifts

Which Car Lift Is Right for You?

Start with the job. If you're doing repairs and maintenance, a 2-post lift lifts the vehicle by its frame so the wheels hang free and the entire undercarriage is open for brakes, suspension, exhaust, and drivetrain work. If you're after storage or extra parking, a 4-post or parking lift is drive-on, holds the vehicle on its wheels, and stacks a second car in the same footprint. Want both? A 4-post with an integrated rolling jack stores like a 4-post and lifts wheels free like a 2-post. Scissor lifts keep a low profile for quick jobs and tight garages, and alignment lifts add slip plates and turntables for wheel service.

Match the Lift to Your Garage

Three measurements decide what fits: ceiling height (full-height lifts generally want 11 to 12 feet, low-profile and mid-rise options work with less), concrete (most lifts call for a minimum of 4 inches of cured, reinforced concrete, and 2-post lifts must be anchored), and power(most lifts run on 220V single-phase, similar to a dryer circuit). Every product page lists exact specs, and if you're unsure about any of the three, we'll check with you before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which lift is best for a home garage?

It depends on the job. Most home garages land on a 2-post for repairs or a 4-post for storage and occasional service. If your ceiling is under 11 feet, look at floor-plate 2-posts, mid-rise scissor lifts, or standard-height 4-posts. Call 833-724-8902 with your ceiling height and we'll narrow it down fast.

What ceiling height do I need for a car lift?

Full-height 2-post and 4-post lifts generally want 11 to 12 feet of clear ceiling to raise an average vehicle to working height. Scissor and mid-rise lifts work with far less. Every model lists its exact column height and rise on the product page.

What are the concrete requirements?

As a general rule, plan on a minimum of 4 inches of cured, reinforced concrete (3,000 PSI or better). 2-post lifts must be anchored to the slab; most 4-post and parking lifts are freestanding. Always confirm the requirement in your model's installation manual.

Can I install a car lift myself?

Many buyers do, especially 4-post and parking lifts, which are freestanding and assemble with basic tools and a second set of hands. 2-post installs involve anchoring and precise column alignment, so plenty of owners bring in a professional installer for those. Either way, follow the manual and have a licensed electrician handle the power circuit.

How does shipping work for a car lift?

Lifts ship via LTL freight carrier to the lower 48. Residential deliveries are curbside, so you'll need a way to unload (an engine hoist, forklift, skid steer, or tractor gets it done). Free warehouse pickup is also available and is often faster. We'll walk you through the options when you order.
