Car Lifts

Car lifts are the backbone of any serious garage or shop, getting a vehicle up and off the floor so you can work standing up instead of flat on your back. From home enthusiasts to full production shops, the right car lift comes down to how you work, the weight you're raising, and the space you've got to work with. This collection brings together every major lift type in one place so you can compare and buy with confidence.

Types of Car Lifts

Each style solves a different problem. Knowing what each one does best is the fastest way to narrow the field.

• Two-post lifts: Raise the vehicle by the frame for open access to wheels, brakes, and drivetrain — the go-to for general service.
• Four-post lifts: Drive-on runways that carry the load on the tires, ideal for storage, heavier vehicles, and long service sessions.
• Scissor lifts: Low-profile and space-saving, great for tight bays and quick jobs.
• Alignment lifts: Built with turn plates and slip plates for suspension and wheel alignment work.
• Parking lifts: Stack vehicles to double your usable floor space.
• Motorcycle & ATV lifts: Table-style platforms for two wheels, powersports, and small equipment.

How to Choose the Right Lift

• Capacity: Match the rating to your heaviest vehicle and leave margin to spare.
• Ceiling clearance: Measure overhead height before you buy; full-rise lifts need real headroom.
• Primary use: Decide whether service access, storage, or alignment drives the purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a two-post and four-post lift?

Two-post lifts hold the vehicle by the frame for open wheel access, while four-post lifts support it on drive-on runways, which is easier to load and better for storage.

What size car lift do I need for a home garage?

It depends on your ceiling height and heaviest vehicle. Low-ceiling garages often suit baseplate two-post or scissor lifts, while taller garages can run full-rise or four-post models.

Do car lifts require special wiring or a concrete floor?

Most bolt into a cured concrete slab and run on standard single-phase power, though anchor and electrical requirements vary by model, so always check the spec sheet.
