Solid Steel Base Plate

You will notice with our 4-post automotive lifts two distinct features; the thickness of the plate, and the location of the post welded on the plate. Having a thick plate prevents warping when welding the posts. By having the post toward the center of the baseplate, (rather than one on the outer edge), it allows for better weight distribution, increasing the stability. While there is an option to anchor the lift, it is recommended that you let the lift remain free standing. Having a free-standing lift provides you with the option to move the lift around inside your garage, or even outside of your garage if conditions allow.

Enhanced Underside Construction

Three new features comprise our enhanced design underneath the power side runway. 1) The cable block rollers have been replaced with durable nylon pads that will not wear as fast as the rollers and are less intrusive, while serving the same purpose. 2) For added convenience, you can adjust the cables underneath from the cable block. 3) The welding of the ramp construction has been enhanced to provide more strength.

Industrial Grade Cables & Pulleys

Cables and pulleys are one of the most important stability features on all 4-post lifts. Using industrial grade steel cables, pulleys, and axles provides less stress on your operating components, increasing their life span.

Primary & Secondary Locking Systems

Our 4-post automotive lifts include a primary safety lock and a secondary slack cable lock. When raising the lift, you will be able to hear the synchronized locks engaging in each laser cut lock position. If a cable were to fail, for any reason, the secondary lock would engage to prevent the lift from falling. Our double lock design, paired with a single point manual release, will provide you with a safer lifting experience.

Designed for Quality, Safety, & Strength

The enclosed posts with laser cut locks provide a solid position for your locks to rest on when working on or storing vehicles. The sliders enhance the stability by encapsulating the post to greatly reduce movement of the lift, which is a common complaint about c-channel lifts.

Shipping/Receiving Your Lift Installation

Shipping/Receiving Your Lift

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.

There are multiple options for the delivery of your Advantage Lift.

Option 1: Pick up from one of our warehousing facilities. The available locations are:
-Charlotte, NC
-Hanover, PA
-Inver Grove Heights, MN
-Orlando, FL
-Park City, KS
-Phoenix, AZ
-Tukwila, WA
-Warren, OH

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.

Installation

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

Very handy piece of equipment

My club Evolution Jeep Alliance took a trip out to Colorado for two weeks of wheeling. This jack I had purchased at the All Breeds Jeep Show just for this trip. It ended up being the best investment I made. It was used to rebuild 3 axle shafts, diagnose a bad wheel sensor and rebuild two trailer wheel bearings. With onboard air and power tanks we lifted everything easily.
