Benefits of Owning a 4 Post Car Lift
A four post lift from Canadian Auto Equipment provides a convenient and practical solution for vehicle storage, maintenance, and garage organization. Unlike a two post lift, four post lifts allow vehicles to be driven directly onto the runways, making loading and positioning simple without the need to manually position lifting arms.
Four post lifts are especially beneficial for storing multiple vehicles, collector cars, trucks, and seasonal vehicles. The elevated platform creates additional parking space while keeping vehicles protected and organized. Canadian Auto Equipment four post lifts include drip trays to help protect vehicles underneath from fluids or debris from the vehicle above.
For customers looking to perform maintenance while the vehicle is elevated, optional jack trays are available for use with bottle jacks. The standard 110 volt motor system allows for easy installation without requiring specialized electrical wiring, making the CAE-8000 ETW an excellent choice for residential garages, workshops, and professional storage applications.
Please note: If the CAE 4 Post Storage Lift is not anchored to the floor, some movement may occur during operation. This movement does not compromise the structural stability or integrity of the lift.
