Things to Consider Before You Buy a Car Lift For Your Home Garage
Before making your lift selection, remember that various types may be suited for your application. Possible applications can range from vehicle storage, maintenance, display, and parking, and configurations come in single-post, two-post, four-post, scissor, mobile column, and subterranean varieties – all of which offer their unique qualities that may or may not meet your needs. Take the time necessary to choose the lift that best suits you, or contact one of our garage lift experts to get the right lift for your application.
Along with application and configuration, car lifts vary in capacity. They can lift anywhere from 6,000 pounds to 20,000 pounds, but as a rule of thumb, you should account for about 50 percent more weight than you expect your heaviest car to weigh. The height of the lift is also something to consider. You want to ensure you have the ceiling height required for a particular lift. If you don’t have the space, consider a subterranean lift like the PhantomPark to store your vehicle underground and out of the way, allowing the other car to remain at ground level.
In addition to size and capacity, you should consider various other essential factors. These include safety features, ease of use, appearance, durability, and customer service and support. For answers to common questions and scenarios please visit our post on car lift FAQs. One thing to know when considering American-made lifts is that they are built according to ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2011 standards. This standard includes mechanical and structural design requirements, construction, testing, markings, maintenance, and operation. Thanks to these standards, you can expect a high level of quality from American-made lifts.
