See this class of lift in action. The video below shows installation, real-world operation, and the kind of shop this lift belongs in.
Two-post lifts use a single-point hydraulic system with equalizing cables to raise both carriages simultaneously. The control panel is typically mounted on one column within easy reach of the operator.
Single-phase 110V or 220V electric motor drives a hydraulic pump. The motor runs only while lifting — it switches off automatically at full height or when you stop pressing the raise button.
A two-button pendant or wall-mounted control box operates the lift. Hold "Up" to raise, press "Down" to lower. Most models lower via a gravity-controlled valve — you can feather the speed by tapping the button.
Mechanical ratchet locks engage automatically every few inches as you raise. Before lowering, press the safety lock release bar or button to disengage all four locks simultaneously. Never lower without releasing locks first.
Telescoping inner and outer arms swing out and adjust to position pads under vehicle pinch-weld points. Screw the pad adapters up or down to make solid contact. Lock each arm with the knurled safety collar before lifting.
Mechanical ratchet teeth engage every 1–2" as the lift rises. The locks are spring-loaded and cannot be bypassed — they engage automatically even if power is lost mid-lift.
Equalizing cables are typically rated at 3–5× the lift's total capacity. Cable sheaves are oversized to minimize bend fatigue. Replace cables at the manufacturer's recommended interval.
Thermal overload on the motor trips if the lift is loaded beyond rated capacity, stalls, or runs continuously. The lift will not operate again until reset — preventing damage to the hydraulic system.
Safety collars or pin locks on the swing arms prevent them from rotating under load. Always ensure each arm's collar is tightened and the safety pin is engaged before raising the vehicle.
Most shops run a 9K or 10K 2-post as their daily driver. The Atlas beats comparables from similar brands on drive-through width (102″ vs 96″) while matching on capacity. If you work on trucks wider than a Tacoma, that extra 6 inches matters.
