Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are two-post lifts suitable for?
Two-post lifts are suitable not only for professional auto repair workshops but also for industrial companies, agricultural sectors, personal garages, and workshops equipped with technical garages.
What are the benefits of two-post lift construction?
The design ensures high stability and reliability thanks to the use of thicker steel, reinforced synchronization cables, and high-quality engineering solutions. The powder-coated metal finish withstands long-term environmental impacts, shocks, and mechanical damage.
What types of synchronization systems are available?
Two-post lifts can be synchronized at the base, at the top, or electronically without connections. Each system offers its own advantages depending on working conditions and needs, for instance, top synchronization systems provide a "clear floor" effect.
What is the lifting capacity of two-post lifts?
Two-post lifts typically have a lifting capacity ranging from 3000 to 8000 kg, depending on the model. When choosing a lift, it is crucial to consider the type of vehicles you will be working with most frequently.
What should you consider when choosing a two-post car lift?
When selecting a two-post lift, the primary consideration should be its lifting capacity based on the types of vehicles you plan to service:
- 3000–3500 kg for passenger cars
- 3500–4500 kg for vans and heavy SUVs
- 5000–6000 kg for long-wheelbase commercial vehicles
- At least 7000 kg for trucks
Choose CE-certified lifts tested with dynamic and static load tests to ensure safety. Pay attention to the synchronization system that suits your working conditions and evaluate additional customization options, such as adjustable supports or safety locks, to ensure efficiency and safety.
