low rise lift questions

I'm waiting for my new shop to be built. Got all the site prep complete, just waiting for the builders to come in September. Then I'll be putting in an 11k 2 post lift, hopefully two of them. Then life will be good, no more laying on the concrete driveway.

If you are going for two hoists, consider one of each. I have worked with both and the old in floor single ram air hoist.
My preference for oil changes and transmission service is the 4 post.
Even brake jobs are much easier as the ramps are an excellent place to pile wheels parts and tools.
Sadly they add 5 inches to the underhood working height.

Four post better for beginners too, like lifting an unbalanced vehicle. Never heard of anyone dropping a car off a four post.

Exhaust work is great on a four post.
