vehicle lifts

In the market for a new lift for the shop or garage? Chesapeake Automotive Equipment offers a full line of Challenger Lifts to choose from. With so many lift types and models to choose from, it’s hard to determine where to start.

The space.
Before you start the hunt for a lift, you need to do some measuring. Walls, Ceilings, Slab Thickness on the flooring are areas you should focus on.

Which car lift?
Lifts come in a variety of configurations. For a good basic overview, check out the website of the Automotive Lift Institute. Figuring out which lift is right for you depends on what you plan to do with the lift and how much space you have for it.

Scissor-type or hinge-type. These frame-engaging lifts lie flat on the floor, allowing the car to drive over them.

Two-post surface lifts. This common frame-engaging lift design supports the vehicle’s weight with metal arms attached to two posts at the side of the vehicle.

Four-post drive-on lifts. These are wheel-engaging lifts with two runways on which the vehicle parks and four posts to support the runways as they rise, generally by means of a hydraulic piston pulling on heavy cables.

In-ground lifts. This ultra-deluxe frame-engaging lift design raises the car with two cylinders that rise out of the floor.
