Four Post Car Lift Comparison Chart

We have created a quick formula for double stacking that will assist in accurate
calculation.

Four Post Car Stacking Formula

This depends on the quantity, size and weight of your vehicles. Here are the most
frequent combinations we work with, and our recommendations.

If you have:

1-2 low riding vehicles (Corvette) - Advantage SS-9000-HD

1-2 tall or long vehicles (Truck, SUV) – Advantage SS-9000-XLT

Extra wide vehicle (Dually, or Ford Raptor) - Advantage SS-11000-WD|

3-4 vehicles (Challenger, Mustang, Camaro) – Advantage SXS 10000

1 heavy duty vehicle (Work Van) – Challenger 4P14

A 2-post lift is primarily used for maintenance on vehicles in a residential or commercial
setting. A 2-post lift does provide more open access underneath the vehicles and the tires.

A 4-post lift is a better lift for storage but can be used during maintenance and
restoration projects as well. Rolling Jacks can be used to assist with wheel and brake
work. Rolling Jack Trays are included in all Advantage Lifts 4-Post.

Shipping cost is based on the individual model. Costs are based on your
location. Ex. We do not ship to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US military
installations or internationally.

Option 2: Have the lift shipped to a nearby truck terminal or commercial
address. In some markets residential delivery only is an option. Reach
out for more details on delivery only options.

Option 3: Have your lift delivered and installed at your location. If
your lift will be installed by Advantage Lifts or an installer within
our network, the customer service team will coordinate deliver with the
installer. There is no additional action needed on your part.

No. Removing the lift from the height of a tractor trailer without benefit of a receiving dock and forklift is unsafe.
We only ship to commercial
addresses with a receiving dock, and a forklift, or to a trucking terminal.

We recommend a 16’ + open car trailer for picking up a 4-post Advantage Lift.

We recommend a 12’ + open car trailer for a 2-post lift.

You can not load a lift into the bed of a pickup truck.

Yes, we have a network of installers nationwide. Call us for more installation
information, or a quote 763-300-5730.

Prices will vary based on quantity, and location. Plan on an average installation cost of $1200 per lift.

Yes, installation can be done by 1 individual, although we recommend using a lifting
device for the runways, and overall assembly usually works best with 2-3 people. The
installation is not complicated. The cables come pre-strung and the locking mechanism
is pre-assembled. The total number of parts requiring assembly are minimal.

We have heard from customers after they installed their lift that it was much easier than
expected! Be sure to view our installation videos
