Application of Haosail's 2 post car lift

Oct 10, 2024

2 post car lift are a type of special mechanical lifting equipment commonly used by car repair and maintenance units.2 post car lift are the main type of lifts and are widely used in the repair and maintenance of small cars such as sedans.2 post car lift are of two types: symmetrical and asymmetrical. The four arms of a symmetrical lift have roughly equal lengths, so that the center (or center of mass) of the car is in the middle of the column. This symmetrical lift may be the best choice for daily maintenance of pickup trucks and vans. However, for some symmetrical 2 post car lift with insufficient width between the columns, the inability to open the car door after the car is lifted is a major disadvantage.

The 2 post car lift can lift the car in the air and save a lot of ground space, making it easier to work on the ground. However, in order to save as much material as possible, the 2 post car lift generally removes the bottom plate. Since there is no bottom plate, the torsion of the column needs to be offset by the ground, so the foundation requirements are very high. If there is a beam (gantry lift), it is offset by the beam.

Precautions for 2 post car lift:

1. The load distribution during use should comply with the rated load distribution of the support arm specified in the instruction manual.

2. Before lifting the vehicle, the height of each pallet should be adjusted to keep the support points on the same horizontal plane.

3 The skirt or beam of the vehicle to be lifted must be placed in the center of the pallet, and the center of gravity of the vehicle should be located at the center of the support surface as much as possible.

4. After the pallet is in place, the lift can be started only after the support arm is reliably positioned.

5. When the 2 post car lift is raised to 10cm from the ground, check and confirm that the car lifting is safe and reliable, and the 2 post car lift is operating normally, then start and lift to the required working height. During the lifting process, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to enter under the vehicle.

6. Note that the power supply cannot be connected in reverse, otherwise the limit switch will not work.

7. Lubricating oil should be added regularly to ensure that the screw nut is fully lubricated to prevent early wear.

8. When working frequently in mud, sand, and sewage environments, a protective cover should be added to the screw nut pair.

9. It is strictly forbidden to place repair tools, auto parts or other items under the support arm to avoid damage to the lift.

10. It is forbidden to change the lift circuit by yourself to avoid malfunction, danger and accidental loss.

2 post car lift Daily maintenance


① The operator needs to perform routine inspections every three months, depending on the environment.

② Check whether the safety device is flexible and reliable, whether the hydraulic system has leakage, whether the oil volume is sufficient, and inject grease into the column guide rail.

③ Check whether the main and auxiliary safety hooks work flexibly and reliably.

④ Check whether the wire rope is loose. If it is found to be loose, tighten and replace it in time.

⑤ Replace the hydraulic oil once a year (replace it once every three months for the first use) and add N46 anti-wear hydraulic oil. Dispose of waste oil according to regulations; lower the lift to the lowest position when replacing the hydraulic oil.

⑥ Check whether the slider is severely worn and replace it in time; clean the oil and burrs on the column guide rail frequently.
