FAQs

2 POST LIFTS

All cars and light trucks have approved lifting points that are specified by the vehicle manufacturer. It is critical that your vehicle is positioned properly relative to the centre line of the lift and centred between the columns. Cars that are front wheel drive and can be lifted asymmetrically. This allows the car to be positioned further back from the centre line of the lift. Often, a good rule of thumb is to start with the steering wheel lined up under the centre of the lift. When this is done, check the position of the four arms when they are extended to the recommended lifting points. The front lifting arm is manufactured on an angle and is considerably shorter than the rear arm, which will accommodate the asymmetric loading of your vehicle.
