Choosing the Right 2-Post Car Lifts for Home Garage or Commercial Settings

With so many great 2-post car lifts to choose from we know this can be a stressful decision. Choosing the right solution comes down to how and where you plan to use it. 

Home garages typically need a lift with lower overall height. Reliable safety locks, easy operation, and budget are the main priorities aside from that.

In commercial settings, though, you’ll need higher weight capacities (9,000-15,000 lbs.), heavy-duty construction, and faster lift times to keep your workflow moving and service more vehicles every day.

You should also account for arm type (symmetric vs asymmetric), power requirements (typically 220V), and whether the lift comes with added features like rubber door guards or truck adapters. Don’t forget to think about concrete thickness as these specs matter as well.

Remember, though, My Garage Supplies is your one-stop shop not just because we source the industry’s most sought after equipment but because we back it up with world-class service from A to Z. 

We encourage you to get in touch with our team so we can help you navigate the specs, compare models, and select a lift that works for your space, budget, and usage needs. Whether it’s your first lift or your fifth, we’re here to help you make the right investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do 2-post lifts need to be bolted down?

Yes. All 2-post lifts must be securely anchored to the concrete in your garage for safe, stable operation. Otherwise, there’s a heightened risk of the lift tipping or shifting under load. 

How thick does concrete need to be for a 2-post car lift?

Most manufacturers recommend a minimum of 4 inches of 3,000 PSI concrete is required, but 6 inches is ideal for heavier-duty lifts or commercial use. This is just one of the many details we can help you consider in choosing your lift!

How much does it cost to install a 2-post car lift?

Installation typically costs between $800 and $1,500 depending on location, lift size, and labor rates. It’s tempting to try and handle installation on your own, but this is not something we suggest unless you have experience doing this already. Hire a pro for peace of mind.

What ceiling height is needed for a 2-post lift?

Most standard 2-post lifts require a ceiling height of at least 10 feet. Low-clearance models are available if you’re tight on space but always confirm your space to accommodate not just both the posts but also the raised vehicle height.

What is the alternative to a two-post lift?

We’ve curated a 4 car post lift as well if you’re interested in weighing your options. These have better stability and are easier to drive onto, but they take up more space and offer less undercarriage access. Still, they’re a great choice for car storage.

Or, you could consider a single post car lift. My Garage Supplies is your trusted source for a car scissor lift, motorcycle lift, and even ATV lifts - just let us know what you plan on working on and we’ll help you make the right choice!

What are the best brands of 2-post car lifts?

Some of the most trusted names include Katool, Tuxedo, AMGO, Atlas, and Launch Tech - all brands we’re proud to feature because of their proven performance and reliability in garages across the nation.

How to safely use a 2-post car lift?

Always inspect the lift before use, center the vehicle properly, and use the correct lifting points. Never overload the lift, and confirm all safety locks engage before working under the vehicle.
