A 2 post lift is designed to lift vehicles off the ground for easier access to multiple components placed under a car. A technician might require access for many different purposes, from cleaning to accessing critical engine and transmission components. A 2 post lift consists of 2 columns placed upright, multiple hydraulic pipes and various connectors, and an electric motor running a hydraulic pump.
Unlike ground lifts that cannot be built everywhere due to the excavation requirement of large amounts of sand and earth, 2 post lifts can be easily installed in most cases. Even better, inoperable ground lifts can be easily converted into a 2 post lift. In today’s world of increased demand, shops find installing 2 post lifts more affordable and practical with everyone having cars. It is the ideal lift for most garages with limited space. It can be moved and provides flexibility. Most companies nowadays also offer the opportunity to construct custom lifts. This is because different shops may need a different size and lift capacity since shops lifting cars wouldn’t need a lift used for vehicles. Companies also provide you the opportunity to make minor tweaks to already existing lifts.

The 2-post lift does have some disadvantages compared to a 4-post lift, mainly in the stability of the raised load.

This is a significant concern since a 10,000-pound vehicle falling on someone will be fatal.
