Compare 2 Post Car Lift Types
Two post lifts are built for service work and provide excellent access around the vehicle. The right model depends mainly on your ceiling height, floor space, vehicle type, and how often the lift will be used.
Floor Plate Two Post Lifts
Floor plate two post lifts are a popular option for garages or shops with lower ceiling heights. The equalization cables and hydraulic hoses run across the floor between the posts and are protected by a steel floor plate.
Best for: home garages, lower ceilings, general repair, tire service, brake work, and routine maintenance.
Clear Floor Two Post Lifts
Clear floor two post lifts route cables and hydraulic hoses overhead through the top crossbar. This leaves the floor between the posts open, making it easier to roll oil drains, tool carts, jacks, and other equipment under the vehicle.
Best for: professional shops, higher ceilings, undercarriage access, frequent service work, and commercial use.
