Understanding Two-Post Lift Weight Capacities Two-post lifts are essential in automotive shops, but selecting the appropriate lift with the correct weight capacity is crucial for safety and equipment longevity. Typical Weight Capacities Two-post lifts generally have weight capacities ranging from 7,000 to 20,000 pounds, accommodating various vehicles from light-duty cars to heavy-duty trucks. It's important to note that each lift arm also has its own weight limit. For instance, a lift with a 10,000-pound total capacity may have each arm rated for 2,500 pounds. Therefore, if a vehicle's weight distribution exceeds this per-arm limit, the lift may not be suitable.
