Measure Before You Buy

How Tall Should a Ceiling Be for a Two-Post Auto Lift?

To see which lift height size options you have simply take your tape measure out and check floor to ceiling. You might open the garage door to see if any vertical spaces change. And any fluorescent lights that might need to be repositioned.

Wrenchers' selection of two-post vehicle lifts can also be a solution in a shop where one more lift is needed for quick service. Maybe in an area where it seemed like another lift would not otherwise fit under the ceiling.

Start With Your Ceiling Height

Measure from the shop floor to the lowest overhead obstruction, including garage doors, lighting or other equipment.

What Is the Best Lift for a Garage With Low Ceilings?

Below we have listed several two-post, low-ceiling options with overall heights, auto lifting capacity, maximum auto lifting height and more. Everything from 8 feet to 10 feet.

Note that choosing a lift that sets higher (i.e. 10 ft. as opposed to 9 ft. or lower) will generally provide more vertical working distance under a vehicle. The answer to how high of a ceiling you need for a two-post car lift will largely depend on your specific measurements.

We can tell you that when you have your car up in the air on a two-post auto lift that clears your ceiling, it will be worth every inch of it. So which is the best two-post car lift for low ceilings? Simply match your measurements to the options below to see.
