Lift Buying & Installation Guide.

Practical buying considerations for two-post, four-post, scissor and portable lifts.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT TYPE

Two-post lifts offer underbody service access. Four-post lifts use runways for vehicle support and storage. Portable lifts are movable low-rise systems. Scissor lifts can suit compact service spaces. Check each product’s actual specifications for suitability.

CHECK VEHICLE & CAPACITY

Compare your vehicle’s weight distribution, wheelbase, wheel track, ground clearance and recommended lifting points to the manufacturer’s detailed ratings, not just the advertised maximum lifting capacity.

PLAN YOUR GARAGE

Check ceiling height, anchoring and concrete slab requirements, electrical service, drainage, working clearances and local permit obligations. Contact a qualified installer where appropriate.

PREPARE FOR FREIGHT

Some lifts require forklifts or other unloading arrangements because of crate dimensions and weight. The standard U.S. shipping charge is free, but unloading equipment or professional installation is not automatically included. Contact us to verify receiving requirements.

MANUALS & CERTIFICATIONS

Use the current manufacturer manual for installation, maintenance, inspection schedules and safe operation. Claims about ALI certification or other approvals apply only when verified for a specific model.
