Hydraulic Two Post Service Lift

A Hydraulic Two post lift consists of two upright columns with four adjustable arms attached to a carriage assembly and two hydraulic cylinders. The power unit, Cables installed between the carriages ensure the arms move together and are synchronised. The hydraulic fluid pushes the piston up that causes the platform to rise. To move downwards, the valve opens and the fluid is allowed to flow back into the reservoir and is pushed back using the gravitational force of the lift, A two post above ground lift is designed to raise cars and trucks for easy access to wheel assemblies and the underside of the vehicle. A two post above ground lift is normally mounted to an existing concrete surface. Minimal concrete depth required for a two post above ground lift is four inches., An advantage to the wheel contact drive-on 2 post lift is the quick setup time to drive the vehicle onto the lift without setting any lift arms to the lifting points. These lifts provide quick setup for quick services like oil changes but are more expensive with the addition of runways and jacks to get the wheels free.
