Buying Guide
The correct 2-post hoist depends on more than the headline lifting capacity. Vehicle weight, wheelbase, lifting points, arm reach, workshop bay dimensions, ceiling height, floor condition, access, daily workload and the type of work being performed can all influence the choice. Use this section as a practical buying guide, then direct into the products or quote form.
Vehicle types and maximum weight
Clear-floor vs base-plate layout
Symmetric / asymmetric arm configuration
configuration Arm reach and lifting-point access
Workshop bay width and ceiling height
Door clearance and column positioning
Concrete/slab condition and manufacturer requirements
Power requirements
Configurations
Cables/hoses routed overhead, leaving the floor between columns clear.
Customer guidance: Often preferred where clear workshop-floor access is important and ceiling height allows the overhead structure.
Services/cables routed through a low floor plate between the columns.
Customer guidance: Useful where overhead height is restricted or the specific workshop/product configuration favours a base-plate design.
Unsure which arrangement suits the site? Send bay dimensions, ceiling height, vehicle types and workshop photographs through the quote form.

Capacity
Use capacity as a starting point, not the only selection criterion. A rated-capacity figure does not automatically mean every vehicle below that weight is suitable. Weight distribution, wheelbase, centre of gravity, lifting-point geometry and manufacturer instructions remain relevant.
Common 2-post application where the selected hoist and lifting points are suitable.
Suitable models may accommodate many SUVs and 4WDs; check weight, arm reach, lifting points and manufacturer guidance.
Common workshop application; accessories/adaptors may be relevant depending on chassis and lifting points.
Check wheelbase, weight distribution, arm reach, roof height and specific manufacturer suitability.
Consider vehicle weight and approved lifting points; do not make broad EV-suitability claims without product confirmation.
Normal automotive 2-post hoists are not the correct category. Direct these enquiries to Heavy Vehicle Hoists or Mobile Column Lifts.
Applications
2-post hoists are relevant not only to conventional mechanical workshops but also to suitable fleet and mine-site light-vehicle maintenance environments. Mine-site workshops often maintain 4WDs, utes, service vehicles and other light-commercial vehicles alongside larger heavy equipment.
Site Requirements
A 2-post hoist must suit the workshop as well as the vehicles. The individual product page should state the manufacturer requirements available for that model, while this category page provides general guidance and directs customers to supply site details before installation is promised.
Requirements vary by model, capacity and manufacturer. Never publish one universal slab thickness as applying to all 2-post hoists.
Check overall hoist height, overhead structure where applicable, raised vehicle height and building obstructions.
Consider column spacing, arm movement, doors, benches, traffic flow and adjacent bays.
State actual product electrical requirements on individual product pages. Electrical connection may require a suitably qualified trade.
Check delivery access, unloading, equipment dimensions and regional/mine-site freight requirements.
Installation coverage and scope must be confirmed according to location, concrete, access, trades and the selected product.

Related Categories
Capacity depends on the vehicles being lifted, weight distribution, wheelbase, lifting points and manufacturer guidance. Provide representative vehicle details if you need help selecting a model.
Clear-floor designs keep the floor between the columns open by routing services overhead, while base-plate designs use a low floor plate between columns. The right choice depends on the hoist, building height and workshop layout.
Many suitable 2-post hoists can lift 4WDs and utes within the approved vehicle range. Capacity, arm reach, lifting points and accessories should be checked for the actual vehicles.
Some models are suitable for vans and light commercial vehicles, but wheelbase, weight distribution, arm reach, vehicle height and manufacturer limits need to be confirmed.
Concrete requirements vary by hoist model and manufacturer. The slab thickness, strength, condition, reinforcement and proximity to joints/edges may need confirmation before installation.
Iron Lift can assist with installation enquiries and planning. Coverage, site access, concrete, electrical requirements and local arrangements are confirmed for each job.
