My 4 post lift has been with me for a dozen years. I use it as a shop lift in the garage and there are some compromises but it has been good to me.
1. My old concrete floor will not support the weight and stress of the 2 post lift, that is out
2. The 2 post lift would eat up too much floor space to park a car next to the lift, that is out
3. The MaxJax requires storage room and that is very valuable in my garage, that is out.
4. So the appropriate 4-post lift turns my 2 car garage into a 3 car garage and leaves enough space to operate a shop. I have done everything known to mechanics on that lift.
The only time I needed a 2 post lift (which my friend has in his shop) was when I removed an entire engine drive train from a Ferrari Testarossa.
