What Are The Different Types Of Car Hoists?

If you own or work in a car workshop, you will know how important car hoists/ lifts are. They are essential when working on the wheels of a vehicle or accessing the undercarriage of a car. No good workshop is complete without at least one type of car hoist. And there are several different types of car lifts available. If you are in the market for buying one, you should be aware of all the options that you have available to you.

In this article by MAHA Premium Workshop Equipment, we have a look at some of the most popular car hoists and scissor lifts out there.

Four Post Lifts

Four post lifts are very popular because of their durability and the fact that you are able to access the vehicle’s undercarriage with ease. They also provide impressive lifting capabilities, making them a fantastic choice for any workshop that has the space.

Scissor Lift Car Hoists

The scissor lift car hoist is undoubtedly one of the most popular options when it comes to car lifting equipment. This option is portable, requires no installation, is affordable, safe and easy to use. There are so many advantages to this type of lift, and even hobbyists use them in their garages.

But they often do not offer much height, and accessing the underneath of a vehicle can be somewhat impossible.

Portable Car Lifts

There is a range of small portable car lifts that can be used for mobile jobs or when there is not quite enough space in your workshop.

In-Ground Lifts

In-ground car lifts are ideal for saving space. They are installed in the ground so that the workshop floor space can be used for other things when the lift is not in use. These lifts can be pricey but are definitely a great investment for your workshop.

Parking Lifts

Parking lifts are not used for working on vehicles at all, but rather for storing vehicles and stacking them on top of each other to free up valuable space on the workshop floor.

We hope that this information can help you make an informed decision regarding purchasing a car lift.
