Buying guide

How to choose: 2-post lift

The 2-post vehicle lift raises the vehicle by its lifting points using four arms. It leaves the wheels free and gives full access to the brakes, suspension, exhaust and underbody. Models in this category cover capacities from 3 to 8 tonnes, with low-post versions, overhead-linked versions, manual or automatic lock release, and a screw-drive model. They are suited to garages and workshops servicing light vehicles and vans.

Selection criteria

  1. Lifting capacity

    Choose a capacity greater than the weight of the heaviest vehicles you work on. The models offered range from 3 tonnes for light vehicles up to 8 tonnes for heavier commercial vehicles.

  2. Ceiling height

    Compare the height of the posts with that of your premises. A model with low 2 m posts is offered for workshops with low ceilings, whereas a lift with an overhead connection requires more height.

  3. Overhead or floor-plate connection

    On a high-bridge lift, the connection between the two columns passes above the vehicle and the floor remains clear. On a low-bridge lift, a base plate runs along the floor between the columns and the overall height is generally lower.

  4. Safety lock release

    With manual release, the operator releases the safety locks by hand before lowering. With automatic release, this operation is controlled from the control panel, which avoids having to walk round the lift.

  5. Lifting system and power supply

    Most 2-post lifts are hydraulic; one MAHA model in the range is screw-driven and runs on 400 V. Check the required voltage on each product page: 230 V single-phase or 400 V three-phase.

  6. The lifting arms

    The shape and length of the arms, for example the M-shaped arms offered on a 5-tonne model, determine which vehicles can be lifted. Check that they reach the lifting points of the vehicles you usually work on.

Frequently asked questions

What capacity should I choose for a light vehicle garage?

For passenger cars, a lift of 3 to 4.2 tonnes covers most needs. If you also handle vans or heavy SUVs, a capacity of 4.5 to 5 tonnes leaves more margin.

My workshop has a low ceiling: can I install a 2-post lift?

Compare the total height of the lift, shown on its product page, with the clear height of your premises, taking into account lighting or sectional doors. The model with low 2 m posts is designed for this type of situation. Bear in mind that the available lifting height will then be more limited.

What floor is needed to anchor a 2-post lift?

The posts are secured with anchor bolts in a concrete slab. The required thickness and quality of the concrete are specified by the manufacturer for each model and must be observed.

What is the difference between a hydraulic lift and a screw lift?

On a hydraulic lift, cylinders driven by a power unit raise the carriages. On a screw lift, each carriage is driven by a motorised screw. Both technologies have their own maintenance requirements, detailed in the manufacturer's documentation.
