    Choosing a car lift or scissor lift for your workshop

    The right vehicle lift depends on your bay height, floor slab and the work you do. Two-post lifts give full underbody access for suspension, exhaust and gearbox work and take up the least floor space. Four-post lifts are more stable for wheel alignment, long service jobs and storage stacking.

    Scissor lifts sit low and can be surface-mounted or recessed, which makes them the practical option for showroom-adjacent bays, low-roof workshops and quick-service or tyre-fitment work where the vehicle only needs to come up a short distance.

    Every lift is matched to vehicle weight, lifting height and available power supply. Talk to us about your bay layout and we will specify a lift, along with the jacking beams and safety accessories that go with it.

    Lifting Equipment — frequently asked questions

    How much does a car lift cost in South Africa?
    Cost depends on lift type, capacity and installation requirements. Two-post lifts are typically the most economical option and scissor and four-post lifts vary with platform length and mounting. Contact us for a quote on your configuration.
    Two-post or four-post lift — which should I buy?
    Choose a two-post lift for repair work needing wheels-free underbody access in a small footprint. Choose a four-post lift for wheel alignment, longer service jobs, heavier vehicles or vehicle storage.
    What floor is needed for a vehicle lift?
    Lifts must be anchored into a sound concrete slab of the thickness and strength specified by the manufacturer. We confirm the requirement for the model you choose before installation.
