Questions We Get a Lot About Car Lifts
Portable car lifts like our 5,000 lb and 7,000 lb models use extended-length plates and a low-profile design to slide under your vehicle, making them ideal for home garages where floor space and ceiling height vary. A two-post lift like our 12,000 lb hydraulic chain-drive model is a permanent installation that raises the full vehicle off the ground, giving you full walk-around access and professional-grade clearance. Your choice really comes down to how often you work on vehicles and how much dedicated space you have.
Our Two Post Car Lift reaches 167 inches at full extension, so you'll want to measure your ceiling height carefully before purchasing and account for the vehicle's roofline at maximum rise. As a general rule, most installers recommend at least 11 to 12 feet of clear ceiling height for comfortable, safe operation. If your garage ceiling is lower, our portable lifts with a 25.6-inch or 26.8-inch max height may be a better fit.
Our portable car lifts are designed for straightforward setup and come with a 120V power unit, making them approachable for a capable DIYer in a standard home garage. The two-post lift involves anchoring to a concrete floor and working with hydraulic components, so many customers prefer to have a professional handle that installation for peace of mind. We always recommend reviewing the included documentation thoroughly before beginning any installation.
