When lifting heavy vehicles, four post lifts are preferred to two post models due to their higher lifting capacity. At North American Auto Equipment, we offer a wide selection of four post car lifts from numerous brands, making it easy to find one that suits your needs and budget.
Four post lifts are popular for their user-friendliness, especially among hobbyists who can easily set them up in their home garages. These lifts, unlike their two post counterparts, don't require floor anchors. Other benefits of 4 post car lifts include:
Portability: Four post car lifts can be portable and often come with their own caster kit.
No wiring required: Due to the type of motor that four post car lifts use, you can install them without special wiring.
Easier loading and positioning: Four post lifts make it easier to load and position your car. Their runways make it simple to drive onto the lift. You don't need to get out of your vehicle, kneel down and position the arms correctly to make sure the car is evenly lifted.
Depending on your situation, a 4 post portable car lift may have some drawbacks, including:
Requires more room: 4 post portable car lifts take up more space than two-post models, which is an important consideration to make if your auto garage is small.
May not lift as high: Two-post lifts raise vehicles higher in low-ceiling garages.

Nitromac * Triumph * CEMB * and MORE! Things to Consider When Choosing a 4 Post Lift
If you're having trouble finding the right 4 post car lift for your application, consider the following tips to help narrow down your options:
1. Available Space
The ideal lift should maximize your space, putting the car in a place where you can work on it easily while still giving you lots of room to move around your garage or shop and access your equipment and tools.
Consider the dimensions of your space. Measure its length, width and height, paying close attention to where you want to install your car lift. The critical factor tends to be your ceiling height. Know exactly how much room you have to work with, and you can easily decide which model works best for you. The bigger your space, the more choices you'll have.
2. Weight Limit
When searching for a 4 post car lift, the weight of your vehicle may help narrow your options. For instance, if you need a lift that can raise 13,000 pounds, you will want to consider a model with a 14,000-pound weight limit. In contrast, if your car only weighs around 5,000 pounds, consider a model with an 8,000-pound weight limit.
3. Type of Service Work
When deciding on a car lift, you should consider whether you'll be using it to service vehicles and, if so, what type of service you'll be performing. If you're going to perform alignment services, for example, an alignment lift will be the best choice.
