Demonstrating a Two-Post Vehicle Lift With Your Own Vehicles
A buyer's guide to planning a two-post lift demonstration using the buyer's actual vehicles, with practical checks on capacity, pad height, lifting height, and power supply.
Ask the supplier to demonstrate the two-post lift with the vehicles you actually service, not a showroom car. Start with your heaviest regular vehicle: the catalog reference lists a 4,000 kg lift capacity, but confirm how that rating applies to your load and its distribution before accepting the demonstration.
Bring a vehicle with the lowest underbody clearance you expect to handle. The reference minimum pad height is 110 mm, so check whether the arms and pads can reach your lifting points without contact elsewhere. Ask where the pads sit on each vehicle and whether adapters are needed.
For maximum lifting height, the reference value is 1,900 mm. Decide what working height your technicians need and test it with a representative vehicle raised to that level. Confirm the 2.2 kW motor suits your electrical supply, and ask how the lift behaves with an unevenly loaded vehicle.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which vehicle configurations were demonstrated, what adapters are included, the power supply requirements, and how acceptance will be judged against your own vehicles and lifting points.
