2-Post Storage & Parking

A two-post parking lift is designed to stack one vehicle above another for storage rather than for service work. It differs from a service two-post lift in that its purpose is holding a parked vehicle, not providing undercarriage working access.

A service lift is built around technician access underneath and is not intended for extended parking. A parking lift is built to hold a vehicle safely for long periods in a compact footprint. Using a service lift for long-term storage is not the intended application.

This collection currently features a Stratus two-post parking lift in roughly the 7,000 lb capacity class, intended for vehicle storage rather than service access. If you need a lift for hands-on repair work, the service two-post collections are the correct place to look.

Enough for the lower vehicle, the lift structure, and the upper vehicle with clearance above. Confirm the specific model's total height requirement against your actual clearance including any door track or ceiling obstruction before ordering.

Anchored parking lifts require concrete of specified thickness and strength in sound condition. Have the slab verified before installation, particularly in residential or converted spaces where slab thickness is often unknown. Have the slab checked by whoever pours or verifies it, not estimated by eye.

That depends on the configuration and the clearance. Parking lifts are designed for storage rather than working access, so plan on the lower position being a parking space rather than a work space. Treat the lower space as storage, not a work bay, when planning the layout.

Yes. Cables, safety locks, and hydraulics wear over time regardless of how often the lift cycles. A lift holding a vehicle overhead should be inspected regularly and maintained on the manufacturer's schedule.
