Garage lifts are also known as vehicle lifts or car ramps and are usually a hydraulic systems for hoisting up vehicles such as cars and vans -enabling mechanics to access the undercarriage. A wide range of Garage Lifts
Types of Garage Lift include:
One Post or Single Post Lift: This allows one vehicle to be hoisted up with access to the driver’s door. Another vehicle can be parked underneath when the platform is raised sufficiently, allowing this lift to also act as a space saver.
Double Post Hydraulic Lift: Both posts work in unison to raise and lower a vehicle. When the platform is raised high enough another vehicle can be parked underneath, saving space. Driver and front passenger doors can be accessed.
Four Post Hydraulic Lifts: There are two types, one for light commercial vehicles with a weight limit and the other for heavy duty usage. The latter is used for large commercial vehicles over a certain weight and is designed like a runway.
Parking Lifts: These are handy lifts to have in a garage because of their space-saving ability. The ability to also maximise profits when several lifts are employed at the same time is obvious. All that is required is a level standing area. The lifts are free-standing and can accommodate most vehicles safely and securely.
Scissor Lifts: These are impressive-looking, but slow moving, lifts consisting of a platform that moves only in a vertical direction. The hydraulic lifting posts take on the appearance of a pair of scissors as they open to raise the platform and close again to lower it.
Motorcycle Lifts: Resembling a large ironing board, these hydraulic lifts are specially designed to accommodate motorbikes. There are also broader based hydraulic lifts used for quad bike maintenance.
