Two-post car lifts, and nothing else
Most sites that carry a two-post lift carry it as one configuration among four or five, filed under a general "car lifts" menu next to scissor and portable. We only sell two-post, which means every page on this site is written for the buyer who has already decided that: it does not compare configurations, it specifies within one.
The two questions that actually decide a two-post purchase are lifting capacity and the ceiling height it needs, and eight of every ten sites we checked make you open a product page to find either. We put capacity on the filter bar and ceiling height in the calculator below.
We are agreeing supply with manufacturers and are not taking orders yet. Prices shown are the median of what independent US dealers are currently charging for that exact model, not a quote. What that means in practice.
By lifting capacity
- Two-post onlyNot a car-lift megastore with two-post buried in a configuration filter. Every listing here is a two-post lift.
- Filter by capacityFive bands from under 7,000 lb to 13,000 lb and up. Seven of eight ranking sites for this exact search make you read every listing to find yours.
- Ceiling height firstThe constraint that cancels most two-post orders, stated before you get attached to a model.
- Freight quoted, never guessedEvery lift here ships freight, not parcel. We quote it against your address rather than publish a flat rate nobody can actually charge.
How much does a two-post lift cost?
Two-post lifts we track run from just under $1,700 to just under $13,000, with a median around $2,800 for the models people actually buy for a home or independent shop. Capacity is the main lever below 11,000 lb; above it, arm geometry and documentation start to matter more than the rating on the sticker. The full breakdown by capacity band, computed from the models we track, not typed in.
Symmetric or asymmetric arms
A symmetric two-post centers the vehicle between the columns, which is the simpler geometry and usually the cheaper lift. Asymmetric (offset) arms swing the vehicle slightly forward of center, opening a walk-through path between the columns — the difference matters most in a single-bay garage where you need to get past a raised vehicle without ducking under it. When each one actually matters.

If you know your capacity and ceiling: use the calculator below, then filter by band. If you are new to this: the terms explained, or what we found reading this exact search's own ranking cohort, including why almost nobody in it states a ceiling-height requirement up front.
Will it fit your garage?
A 2-post lift has one prerequisite every other spec is downstream of: does the overhead assembly clear your ceiling with the vehicle raised. Enter your ceiling height and your tallest vehicle and see what is actually left to work with.
Frequently asked questions
Can I order yet?
Not yet. We are agreeing dealer terms with manufacturers and would rather not take money against a freight date we cannot hold to. Register interest on any model and we will confirm price, freight and lead time by email.
Why only two-post? What about four-post or a scissor lift?
We do not sell them, and we are not going to try to talk you into a two-post if that is not what you need. If you want wheels hanging free for brake, suspension or exhaust work, two-post is very likely right and this is a deeper range than a site carrying five configurations at once. If you mainly want to park one car above another, or would rather not anchor into your slab, a two-post is the wrong lift and we would rather say so than sell you one.
Are the prices real?
They are the median of what independent US dealers are currently listing for that exact model. They are a guide to the market, not a quote from us. A price becomes binding only when we confirm it in writing against your delivery address.
What ceiling height do I need?
It depends on the model and on your tallest vehicle. The calculator on this page gives you a first filter, and each listing carries the manufacturer's figure where we hold it — currently 8 of our 71 models. If a model's requirement is not stated, we have not verified it and will not guess.
Is the lift ALI certified?
Only where the listing says so and links to the ALI directory entry. Certification is a property of a specific model, not of a brand, and we do not repeat a certification claim we have not checked.
