There are many types of hydraulic car lifts available in the market today for commercial parking purposes. Whether you want to be able to work on your car at home or have an automotive repair shop, there are several options for you. There are platform lifts, post lifts that come in two and four posts, and scissor lifts. You can purchase a heavy duty lift, a low rise lift or a storage lift. They are car stacking garages making it easier for you to park your car if you go shopping or to office.

Installing a hydraulic car lift

Most lifts work on a hydraulic system. There will be an on and off switch that you will hit to make the lift go up or down. Hydraulics is a pressure system that requires pressure to go into one chamber and transferring it to another.

The first chamber is much smaller and it must travel over a long distance to multiply and create a larger pressure in the second chamber. As the pressure builds in the second chamber it pushes the lift up. When you are finished working on the car, you hit another button that releases the pressure and allows the lift to slowly descend.

In some car stacking garage,  lifts are portable coming with a battery power pack that pneumatically works the hydraulics. Lifts can be as simple as using a pulley system that when activated pulls cables that lifts the bars. The cable is wound up and when you are finished you reverse the system allowing the cable to unwind and bring the bars and car down. Such hydraulic car lift installation is mostly seen in commercial parking systems.

Hydraulic Car Lift Features

For hydraulic car lift installation purposes, the lifts come in a variety of lifting capacities. They range from 7,000 lbs. to 12,000 lbs. Any more capacity than that and you are getting into the truck range.

The two and four post lifts come with height adapter extensions and dual safety latches. Most lifts come in steel and aluminum too. Steel is a much stronger metal therefore much safer, but it is more expensive.

There are many different designs of hydraulic car lifts in use today. The most common designs have two or four posts with arms that extend beneath the car to lift the car by the frame (or at specified jacking points). Another common design, sometimes called a “drive-on” lift, has solid metal tracks for the car to drive onto before being lifted. Other designs, used in commercial parking systems, sometimes use a center column sunk into the floor beneath the lift. Regardless of the design, all car lifts operate using hydraulic systems and require hydraulic car lift installation.
