Above-ground 2 post lifts and ramps

The 2 post lift, also known as 2 post ramps,  is the most popular vehicle lifting solution in the UK for servicing, maintenance and repair work. Surface-mounted 2 post lifts are widely used in modern motor vehicle workshops thanks to their space efficiency, strength and ease of use.

At Straightset, our range of above-ground 2 post ramps and lifts has been carefully selected to meet the demanding standards required in today's automotive workshops.

As we are not owned by an equipment manufacturer, we have solutions for all budgets, space requirements and individual needs - including Supertracker, Space, AMI and Nussbaum. We also ensure spare parts for 2 post lifts are readily available to minimise downtime.

A 2 post car lift (also called a two-post vehicle lift) is one of the most widely used pieces of equipment in automotive workshops. It is designed to raise a vehicle off the ground using two vertical columns, allowing full access to the underside for routine servicing, repairs, and inspections. A 2-post lift supports the vehicle by its chassis or designated lifting points, leaving the wheels hanging free, which makes it ideal for mechanical work such as brakes, suspension, and drivetrain repairs. There are many variations available, speaking to our knowledgeable experts we can help find the right car lift for your needs.

We supply above-ground 2 post lifts and ramps across the full range of workshop specifications, from power supply and drive type through to arm configuration, design and vehicle suitability.

Every 2 post lift model includes professional UK installation.
