Wheel alignment on a 2 post lift works can literally be a game-changer for garages, especially smaller independent workshops or MOT Bays.

 

Can You Really Perform Wheel Alignment on a 2 Post Lift?

Yes, you can! A 2-post lift, when fitted with and combined with the right equipment can also be used for wheel alignment. While traditional alignment bays with a 4 post lift are common, a 2 post lift offers flexibility and space-saving benefits, especially for smaller garages. By using a wheel alignment machine capable of operating with a 2 post lift, you can accurately measure and adjust wheel angles, ensuring your customers’ vehicles are aligned to manufacturer specifications.

 

How Does Wheel Alignment Work on a 2 Post Lift?

Wheel alignment on a 2-post lift involves three key steps:

  1. Lifting the Vehicle: The vehicle is raised on the 2-post lift, ensuring it’s securely positioned and level. This provides easy access to the wheels and suspension components.
  2. Attaching the Alignment Equipment: A 2 post lift alignment machine is used to measure the wheel angles. These machines typically include sensors that attach to the wheels and communicate with a computer system to provide real-time data.
  3. Adjusting the Alignment: Based on the data, the technician adjusts the camber, toe, and caster angles to meet the vehicle’s specifications. This ensures even tyre wear, improved handling, and better fuel efficiency.

 

Why Choose a 2 Post Lift for Wheel Alignment?

  1. Space Efficiency: Not every garage has the space for a dedicated alignment bay. A 2-post lift allows you to perform multiple tasks, including wheel alignment, without needing additional equipment.
  2. Cost-Effective: Investing in an alignment machine suitable for 2-post lift usage is generally a more affordable than setting up a separate alignment bay, or adding a 4-post lift. It’s a practical solution for garages looking to expand their services without breaking the bank.
  3. Versatility: A 2-post lift can handle a wide range of vehicles, from compact cars to larger vans and SUVs, making it a versatile choice for garages with a range of customer needs.
