  • Car Lifts

    What are car lifts? Well as the question suggestions, it has to do with cars. Well a car is defined as a wheeled motor vehicle for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor.  Lift can be defined as a mechanical force generated by a solid object moving through a fluid.  So in short, a car lift is an mechanical equipment that generates force by a solid object moving through a fluid that is able to lift a wheeled motor vehicle or any other object. Car lifts are also known as vehicle lifts, automotive lifts, storage lifts, alignment lifts, or car stackers.

    Car Lifts can be used by automotive shops to work on vehicles or used by home hobbyist for storage of their cars or to do repairs in their garage. Now car lifts come in different styles or models and having different lifting capacities. Lifting capacities can range from 7,000 lbs. to  30,000 lbs. and even higher at times. The most popular styles are two post car lifts and four post car lifts.  As the names suggest, some lifts have two post and some have four post. So depending on what you are using the lift for will help determine which one best suites your needs.

    The 2 post lifts are asymmetrical and symmetrical and need to be installed by anchoring or bolting to your floor . The 4 post lifts do not need to be anchored to your floor. But if there is a constant flow of vehicles on and off the lift, anchoring the lift is highly suggested.

  • 2 Post Car Lifts

    For many years numerous 2 post car lifts were purchased by commercial users for the workplace, but as the home hobbiest market began to grow, most Manufactures of car lifts began to solicit the home owner as well as the auto repair facilities.

    Then came the off shore import Manufacturers, who in most cases in my opinion, do not build the same type of product as most older U.S Manufacturers do. With that said, as a consumer you should be treated to an honest, as we say, Lift Class 101. Questions need to be answered! For example..Why does so-and-so have a two post car lift advertised at such a low selling price? Maybe it is due to smaller carriages in the lift, maybe due to an inferior cylinder, maybe because of the lack of metal used in the arms, or maybe just all of the above. Lets face it, the last thing you need in our current economy is to find out you made a mistake in your decision to purchase the lower cost product only to find out that a 2 post car lift is not a great deal even though their website said it was.

    A company such as Affordable Automotive Equipment in Orlando Florida, will give the true answers as to the reason of the lowest cost 2 post or even 4 post car lifts. The same holds true for tire changers, wheel balancers, as well as all other automotive equipment or used automotive equipment.

    Remember, just because it goes up and comes down in similar fashion to other car lifts and heavy duty truck lifts, that does not mean it will last as long or operate safely for your home car lift or vehicle care storage lift needs.

    Make an information decision when purchasing a car lift or any other automotive equipment.

    We understand a customer can shop the Internet these days for 2 Post Lifts, 4 Post Lifts, and more. We do however know that many times the least expensive tire changers or wheel balancers you may have found online did not turn out to be such a great deal.

    In todays marketplace it seems most companies claim to be the largest sellers of items like tire changers and car lifts as well as wheel balancers, but the problem is who is what they say, and who is the pretender.
