4 Post Lifts

4 Post Lifts: Park It. Service It. Store It.

A 4 post lift isn't just a lift  it's the most versatile piece of equipment you can put in your garage. Drive on, lock in, and you've got a stable, professional-grade platform for any job under the vehicle. When you're done, leave the car parked up high and reclaim the floor space below for a second vehicle, a workbench, or whatever else your garage demands.

One footprint. Two parking spots. Endless flexibility. That's why 4 post lifts are the gold standard for home garages, professional shops, and alignment bays alike.

Why a 4 Post Lift Belongs in Your Garage

• Drive-on simplicity  No arms to position, no pinch points to find. Pull on, lock the safety, get to work.
• Rock-solid stability Four columns of support handle the heaviest loads without flex, making them ideal for trucks, SUVs, and long-term storage.
• Double your parking Stack one vehicle above another and turn a one-car garage into a two-car garage overnight.
• Pro-level service access  Brakes, exhaust, suspension, fluid changes — every job is easier when the vehicle is at the right height.

Find the Right 4 Post Lift for the Job

Not all 4 post lifts are built for the same purpose. Here's how to narrow it down:

• Storage & Service Lifts  Everyday workhorses for home garages and shops. Perfect for stacking vehicles, oil changes, and general maintenance.
• Heavy-Duty Commercial Lifts  Built for high-volume professional shops with reinforced columns and ALI-certified safety. The choice when reliability is the job.
• Alignment Lifts  Designed with built-in turn plates, slip plates, and open-front decks for full wheel alignment work. The professional standard for tire and alignment shops.
• Extra-Tall & Extra-Long Storage Lifts Higher lifting height and extended runways to accommodate long-wheelbase trucks, lifted vehicles, or SUV-over-truck stacking.
• Portable 4 Post Lifts  Caster-equipped models that roll across your garage when your layout changes.

What to Look for Before You Buy

1. Match Capacity to Your Heaviest Vehicle

4 post lifts in our collection range from 7,000 to 16,000 lbs capacity, covering everything from sedans and SUVs to full-size trucks, dual-rear-wheel duallies, and commercial service vehicles. Always size up  never down. A lift rated at exactly your vehicle's curb weight is a lift working at its limit, and that's not where you want it. Account for fuel, gear, modifications, and headroom for whatever you might own next.

2. Get the Right Length and Width for Your Vehicle

Not all 4 post lifts fit all vehicles. Long-wheelbase trucks, dually pickups, and extended cab models need wider runways and longer decks. Measure your longest, widest vehicle  and the next one you might park up there for storage before you buy. Our extra-long models are built specifically for vehicles other lifts simply can't accommodate.

3. Lift Height That Works for Both Service and Storage

Standard 4 post lifts raise vehicles between 72 and 84 inches off the ground — enough clearance to walk under comfortably for service work and to park a second vehicle below. Need more? Our extra-tall storage lifts push higher still, giving you the headroom to stack SUVs, trucks, or lifted vehicles. If your ceiling allows it, go taller — extra clearance never hurts, but a lift that's too short can't be made taller after the fact.

4. Safety Features That Aren't Optional

A 4 post lift holds thousands of pounds over your head. The safety system isn't a feature  it's the foundation. Look for:

• Multi-position mechanical safety locks on all four columns that engage automatically at every height
• Electric or air-release locks for smooth, controlled lowering
• Hydraulic flow safety valves that prevent sudden drops if a line fails
• Heavy-duty cables or chains with documented load ratings, not generic specs
• ALI certification  the gold standard for lift safety, available on select models in our collection

If a manufacturer can't tell you exactly how their safety system works, that's your answer to look elsewhere.

5. Accessories That Multiply What Your Lift Can Do

The right add-ons turn a 4 post lift from a parking platform into a complete service center:

• Rolling jack tray  Lift the wheels off the runways for tire, brake, and suspension work
• Drip trays  Catch fluids during oil changes and protect the vehicle below
• Caster kits Roll the entire lift across the garage when your layout changes
• Aluminum approach ramps Make loading low-clearance vehicles effortless

Buy the lift first. Add the accessories as your needs grow.
