Although not as popular as 2 post lifts, 4 post car lifts are still your best option when it comes to jobs that require an extra layer of safety. The reason is simple, 4-post lifts also known as wheel contact or “drive-on” lifts, raise the vehicle without compromising its center of gravity. In other words, for a vehicle to fall from a 4 post lift is extremely difficult.
However, that is far from the only reason to consider purchasing this type of cars lift.
In theory, 2 post lifts require a certified technician with adequate skills to position the vehicle in order to raise it in a safe manner. On the other hand, almost anyone can use a four-post lift. The runways of the 4 post automotive lifts allow the operator to drive the car onto the lift (usually in a single maneuver) and then start working immediately. There is no need to triple-check that the vehicle’s center of gravity is correctly positioned or ensure that the vehicle is being lifted evenly.
