4 post lift vs. 2 post lift. Pros and Cons.

The 2 post takes a little effort to set the lift arms. But it has a much smaller footprint than a 4 post. Think about every time you need to walk across the shop. You have to walk around the 4post, especially if there's a car on it. A 2 post doesn't have a cross beam up front like the 4 post does. Could get in the way pulling an engine. 2 post are cheaper, due to less material to make one. I bought a Bendpak 10K 2 post about ten years ago. no issues yet. those tall screw jacks a good to have the safety factor.
