What Are The Best Automotive Lifts To Use For Wheel Alignment?

Posted on January 4, 2023January 4, 2023 by David Bamford

Wheel alignments are a very popular and necessary service offered by workshops, but in order to provide this service, you will need a reliable vehicle lift.

There are several different types of vehicle lifts available, including car scissor lifts, two-post lifts, four-post lifts, in-ground lifts and more. So which ones are ideally suited for the task of wheel alignment?

As experts in workshop equipment in Australia, MAHA AU provides you with the answers, which will hopefully help you in deciding which vehicle lifts to bring into your shop and that is worth the investment.

Parallelogram Lift

Parallelogram lifts are not as popular as some of the other lifts on this list. However, they are commonly used for performing wheel alignments as they provide constant working levels, high reliability, low maintenance requirements, and are easy to install.

The only potential drawbacks of this lift are that it has a reduced lifting height and they can require a rather large installation site. The other thing to consider is that these lifts don’t have many other applications besides wheel alignment.

4-Post Lifts

4-post vehicle lifts are some of the most commonly used vehicle lifts out there and are considered a must-have for most vehicle workshops. Not only do they allow for wheel alignment and adjustments, but they also allow you to provide complete vehicle maintenance services and get under the vehicle.

They can also usually handle impressive weights and are known for their longevity, making them a great investment.

The only real drawback is that you may need quite a lot of workshop space available to you when it comes to installation. It may also not be the most ideal option for wheel alignment specifically.

Scissors Lift

The car scissor lift is a fantastic option for wheel alignment, and there are scissor lifts that are specifically designed for wheel alignment purposes. Furthermore, these lifts are quite affordable and do not take up much space on your workshop floor.
