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.

Frame cradle pads are recommended with 2 post lifts when working on any pickup truck or full frame vehicle. They act as a saddle for the frame rail and prevent the vehicle from sliding off the lift arms.
Symmetrical lifts have arms at the front and back that are the same length and design. Asymmetrical lifts have arms at the front and back that are different. This allows better access to the interior of the vehicle that is being worked on as well as better balance for different vehicles.

Clear Floor models have the cables running over head giving a smooth floor under the lift making it easier to work under the car and roll tool boxes and transmission jacks under the car when working on it.
